Ever Seen This One?
I haven`t been in this forum for awhile.Has anyone put thios up before?Or,is it a member`s or someone you know?It`s a`56 Blazair.
![]() ![]() ![]() I would have liked to see the crest rather than letters and the trim across the tailgate since it has tailight trim.I would`ve lost the side markers,too.But,I really like it!

Re: Ever Seen This One?
Whoa.... that thing is sweet! A different take on two different classic models. I don't recall ever seeing this one.
The side markers a little different, but I kind of like the Chevrolet across the tailgate. And would love to get a better shot of those buckets, they look pretty nice.

Re: Ever Seen This One?

Re: Ever Seen This One?
That's great. I actually thought about trying to put the old chevy trim on a Blazer several years ago, after seeing a late model Blazer done up that way.
Is that air brushed on or is it actual trim?

Re: Ever Seen This One?
Looks very nice. I would have tried to use actual trim rather than the airbrush...but then agian, I would have probably just screwed up a nice set of 56 trim after all my trimming and hacking.

Re: Ever Seen This One?
Based on the last pic, I'm gonna go with airbrushed. Not my style (granted neither is my current paint job), but a lotta nice work.

Re: Ever Seen This One?
Hmmm, not my style either. From the doors forward works just fine for me, but not the rear portion.

Re: Ever Seen This One?
I always appreciate hard work, especially when it's done so well.
Personally, I think it's missing about 8 inches of lift and some 35s to make it complete. ![]() |

Re: Ever Seen This One?
I saw it at the Goodguys show last month. Once again my keen ability to leave my camera at home struck again. My friend had a couple pics, but not of that one. Here is one that was at the same show.

Re: Ever Seen This One?
Looks like it is a full time roadster now since the upper windshield frame appears to have been altered to no longer accept a hard top. Almost looks like a cut down truck frame with no drip rail. I wonder if the builder did this to give it a cleaner look, or if the original frame was to far gone to save.

Re: Ever Seen This One?
Other than the colors it looks similar to a rendering I had done several years ago.

Re: Ever Seen This One?
I imagine it means he took a C/10 frame and cut it down to Blazer dimensions.
