Project Topless 365/24/7
Well, I finally and going to get around to posting pics of my 2wd blazer that I bought from Luv at his cookout back on Oct. 21st. She's a little rough but she's going to be pretty awesome when I'm done.
My plans for it is to make it topless all the time, NO WINDOWS, NO VENT WINDOWS, NO TOP, NO CARPET!!!!!! I will be shaving EVERYTHING!!! NO HANDLES, NO SIDEMARKERS, NO WIPERS !!!!!!!! I've already parted out the complete A/C system and we put a 67 front clip on it at the cookout. It's going to be bare to the bone. I plan on spraying/rolling a bedliner on the floor and then putting a nice set of seats in. I have already bought some 20's for it and plan to do a 4/6 drop on it. I know I need a lot of patch panels and already have a rust free tailgate and two wheel tubs that I'll be picking up in a few weeks. The pass door is a shot also. I've posted a pic of my inspiration blazer. It's not going to be that nice but it gives you an idea of what I'm going to attempt to do.

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
Yes, it is a true 2wd. I'd rather not say what I paid for it. I bought it from another board member and a good friend. I know I got the friend price. If he sees this and doesn't care then I'll tell it.
I wish you were done with the DVD because I could obviously use it. ![]()

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
I will, I might have a deal worked out for the bodywork. Which could get this project rolling faster then I had planned.

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
I really like your idea of a bare bones blazer, all stripped down and lightened up.

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
I haven't really decided on the motor/tranny combo. It has the original 307/TH350 in it now. Thinking about sticking with it. Mostly because it's going to be a nice cruiser. Not sure the whole 450HP will go with the topless theme. But it would be nice.

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
Hey yellow69,... Would you be money a head to just buy a nice/nicer 4x4 blazer for the body,... and just swap out the tub? If your body shop prices are anything like they are around here,... it would cost a fortune to repair your tub. I see nice 4x4's for $4k or less and they would have plenty of extra parts. Just a thought. I just think parts trucks are huge money savers.

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
Not real sure I'm going to get with a VERY GOOD body guy this week who wants my burb. We might do some trading for the body work. After I talk with him I'll get an idea on what it's going to run.

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
I have no idea what you guys are talking about, all of my projects are finished. Yeh if you call tearing them down and starting the next one finished! I too hope to get mine all rust free in the next 6-8 months. I agree a parts truck is a cheaper way to go alot of time. Mine I plan on using all new metal including short bed sides, fenders, doors, full front floor section. I will be using 68 front sheet metal and I have a great stock hood, 2 grills and a spotless gate. I do still need a top or I just might build my own out of metal so I can fix a few design flaws in the stock top.

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
well, not a lot has been done has been done lately, but it's about to get kicked into second gear. I've grinded a bunch of stuff off and gotten her ready for the body shop. I FINALLY SOLD MY BURB, well kinda, I traded the burb to a guy who's going to do all the rust repair on the blazer. He's also going to cut down the doors and shave everything also. I think it's a pretty good deal considering I know crap about welding. I have to take the motor out tomorrow and I'm going to try to bring it up to him on Friday. I'll take lots of pics in its state before I leave with it.

Congrats on getting started on the blazer. I know from our talks we've had how much this means to you. Will be watching and waiting for the outcome.
