(72) Project Lime Green
 

First let me start off by saying im pretty new to this website,,This is my 1972 K5 Blazer..... This is my first 72 Blazer project..., I started building my truck about a year ago on my free time.... It sat at my friends shop for the time being,, and we would work on it when ever we had any free time do to our regular jobs.... But its coming along pretty good for being just a weekend toy for now... Here are some pictures of before and in the process.. Let me know what u think about it? Also give me your opinion im debating on the bumpers if i should do them chrome or black.

Here are the pictures

The only major rust this truck had was the outer and inner rocker panel and the lower front quarter panels... Besides that this truck was pretty solid.

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

I decided to shave off the gas tank and relocate it to the inside of the truck... To give it a smoother cleaner look.

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

Blazer is looking good, nice work. As for the bumper, depends on the final paint and scheme you want. Black bumpers look good if on the right setup. Good luck

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

Thanx man,,,, Well as for the paint I went with the "Lime Green" Im trying to go more for the off road look... So I thought the black and green would look good together I wanted a different look

Thats going to look good, the black wheels will go great with the truck.

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

Nice!! I'd go with the chrome bumpers though.

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

Kool... Ill take that in consideration.. Im think of spray painting them black first to see how the will look and if i like the look than ill go get them powder coated if not than ill just go with the chrome.... Thanx.

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

Ill post more pictures with black bumper and of the progress so far.... Thanx

Here are some before pictures of the interior

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

I decided to go with the "Raptor" bedliner i was going to take it to get done at a shop but decided to do it myself and came out pretty good for being my first time throwing bedliner and i also saved myself couple hundreds its the best way to go its not hard at all the hardest part is prepping it covering it up good so it wont get oversprayed.

Re: (72) Project Lime Green

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

Man that thing is looking great! I love the touch screen too. I already said this but I think some chrome bumpers/grille with those wheels would set it off.

Re: (72) Project Lime Green

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

The paint is off a 2011 hyundai... and the paint code is... NJA .

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

Thanx bro

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

The Blazer looks great, the black and green looks perfect. Funny the U-Por Raptor is the same stuff I'm looking at using, but thats a long way from now. You did an awesome job.

Re: (72) Project Lime Green

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

Good looking blazer..

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

So this is where I'm at on my Blazer,,, Just got my Interior done... I Installed some HID'S "5K's"... I decided to go with the chrome bumpers.. Just waiting to get my grill back from getting chrome....

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

Man, that thing is hot! Good call on the chrome bumpers. Have you considered doing a "one piece window conversion" and eliminating the side vents? It looks pretty clean like that in your pics..

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

a chrome center cap with a green bowtie for the wheels......

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

Thanx Bro!!!! And yeah I'm actually thinking about doing the 1 piece window,, I was just looking for the kit on line right now but I'ma wait on it for now but pretty soon i will....

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

Thanx for the idea bro i'll take it in consideration......

Re: (72) Project Lime Green

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

The seats are from a 2000 cadillac el dorado and the back ones are from a 99 Suburban

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

Sweetness. What color is the top?

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

Great color... Nicely done ... You nailed it.

Re: (72) Project Lime Green
 

Thanx Man!! The top is still white, I still dont know if I'm gonna leave it white or green??
