Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

ahh, I thought he was talking about a different rendering or something.

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

No offense intended. I hope it didn't come off like that. I apologize if it sounded/read like that. Yours is way more in depth than mine. My motto, was simple and clean.

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

No offense taken, I just didn't notice your truck in the avatar.

oh man that thing is bada$$ glad its in az so I can see it up close sometime:metal:

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

Can't let a Blazer build slip by, specially one that'll have 1000+ hours in it.

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

So am I understanding you right you use bushings in the center pivot point?

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

I use a delrin bushing for the center pivot on the watts and urethane on the tubes. It needs to have some flex in it because the axle travels in an arc.

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

looking good , whats the plans for the taillights

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

LEDs in the combo skin. Hopefully they will be almost invisible because of the paint color.

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

:agree: It's looking good...and looking smoooooth :D

So are you going to flush the LED's in the clear?

Making good progress!

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

Awesome! Love the flush caps where the stake pocket went

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

I assume those are not floating calipers if you've run hard line all the way on them?

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

No, they are floating. I have never had a problem running the hard line straight to a floating caliper. I use stainless steel annealed line, it is more flexible when annealed. The only down fall I see doing it this way is that whenever the owner goes to replace rear pads he will have to disconnect the hard lines and re bleed the brakes... Once every 40,000 miles or so, so really not that big of a deal.

Got the Grant Customs skin welded up and installed the 15" AVS led tail lights installed. My buddy Will came over and helped out a bit. I had to get a picture of someone other than me working on the truck, so here he is... drilled who knows how many holes in the floor piece.

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

Almost done with the tranny hump. Just one small patch panel on the drivers side to finish up.

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

Your metal work look great. I like your rear lights in your tail gate. subscribed

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

:jdp:Holy Fabrication! this is amazing. subbed

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

ok, finally back to work on the blazer. I got the 1" narrower Porterbuilt arms on and the hood now closes.

The standard arms from them were a bit too wide for the 24's to fit under the hood. With them now 1" narrower the tires clear the roll in the hood.

I also got the Porterbuilt hood hinges on and all the front end mounted up. Now I just need to add some support in the fenders as well as a place to hide wires up underneath the fender support. Then weld up the front Grant Customs roll pan and fill all the little holes in the hood, grill, and fenders.

We would Love to see it up close and in person

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

Its coming along nice!

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

very cool , again nice work!!

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

could you set something across the top of the fenders and tell me how much your tires stick up above the top of the fenders, if you dont have time that is fine but if you do it would be a good little bit of research for me
