looks solid - what are the plans?

Re: **Project ((Satin Suede)) 71 2WD Blazer
 

sweet looking start....will be watching this!!

Re: **Project ((Satin Suede)) 71 2WD Blazer
 

Those wheels are really nice. I love the brushed centers & polished lips look!
I like you project idea, but then again I'm kind of partial to the flat black paint. I remember seeing an ElCamino in Memphis several years ago with all the trim in brushed aluminum...it looked great. Can't wait to see your progress pictures!

Was your chrome cherry to begin with?

Re: **Project ((Satin Suede)) 71 2WD Blazer
 

It wasn't real bad had some scratches dents and rust so no not cherry but not thrashed either ..In the future im going to have them nickel plated to try it that way and then scuff it up really uniform looking ..its all about the look your going for thou just experiment is the best way to do it i've found

Re: **Project ((Satin Suede)) 71 2WD Blazer
