Cory can give some descriptions, but it looks like a pretty cool flame job!

saulgoode · 09-28-2004, 12:36 PM

Saulgoode

72blazercst · 09-28-2004, 12:54 PM

Thanks to bouncytruck for posting these for me

bouncytruck · 09-28-2004, 01:28 PM

No problem. You can send more pics to me when you get them. Just send them to the same e-mail address and I'll re-size them and post them. Let me know if you want me to send back the re-sized images for the web.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-30-2004, 09:39 PM

Damn that look's killer.... I bet those flame's are really gonna set off that paint...

You're not suppose to let kids play with plastic bags, they can't breath.

Looks good to this point, keep posting as you go.

bouncytruck · 10-02-2004, 03:34 PM

bouncytruck · 10-02-2004, 03:35 PM

HOW DID YOU DO YOUR FUEL FILLER

WHAT KINDA DOOR IS THAT

72blazercst · 10-02-2004, 04:40 PM

thanks to bouncytruck again for posting,
the flames came out a lot darker than i had expected, but i cant complain i love it and cant wait till she gets home and i can finish it up.
the fuel door is off a newer chevy, it is on the passenger side because the po had switched fuel tanks and moved the filler to the passenger side, so the body man fixed it all up with a new chevy type door.

Alexis · 10-02-2004, 05:11 PM

The flames look pimp! very nice. What did the shop do that took 11 months if you don't mind me asking. Keep us posted

72blazercst · 10-02-2004, 05:48 PM

they didnt do a thing, its a buddy of mine so he took advantage of it and let it sit there, today tho he should be setting up the seat brackets and welding up the old seat holes in the tub,
i dont know about the rear seat tho i think i might have to lose the head rest cause with the tops on them are going to be very high up, i didnt think about that when i was planing my seats.
any ideas

WyoChevyJoe · 10-03-2004, 02:16 PM

Try taking off the slider seat tracks and making direct mounts - seat to floor. It might drop them a few inches, depending upon how the seats are made.

Looks great!!!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 10-02-2004, 06:35 PM

That is a very sick a$$ ride those flame's are b!tchin....

frost89434 · 10-03-2004, 12:44 PM

Very nice

Vlad · 10-07-2004, 10:47 PM

Hmmm,

What a super clean paint job, ghost flames and all.That was a great idea to use the late model fuel door,it really cleans up the overall look of the rig. By the way how did you come up with the idea to add the trident spikes to the flame tips? That was way more original than the crab claws you pinstriped in the outline
Nice job.

**Canadian694x4** · 10-07-2004, 11:01 PM

Wow Looking Saweet! Nice Flames too!

72blazercst · 10-07-2004, 11:54 PM

vlad,
The body man came up with the flames, i told him i wanted tribal, and let him go to work.
The blazer is home now and i well start to clean it up and get things back together.
