Thanks, Rg

Yes I talked to the fabricators for a good hour atleast. What they did was welded a stud to the back side of the fender and it now bolts in from inside the cab under the dash. Just do it a way that you can still slide shims in from the door jamb as needed for fender alignment. Set it up so that it needs at least 3/16" worth of shims. You can always pull some out if needed but if you set it up tight and then need to adjust it in you are screwed!

this thing gives me so many ideas, but do I really make my body guy mad by saying, "can you do this?"

Thanks Kevin, Rg

5150 · 11-18-2007, 01:46 PM

Damn, I don't know why now, but I just noticed the 572.

5150 · 11-18-2007, 07:45 PM

I got a ???? and Kevin you might be able to answer it, but how did they do that windshield mod??? That looks like it wouldn't be that hard to have my body guy do.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-20-2007, 11:27 AM

Damn that blazer is very nice I dont card for the spoke looking wheels but the rest of it is very nice could use something on the belt line to break up all that paint though..

What one of many mods to the windshield? The re-shaped A pillar's, teh modled in cowl panel, the flush mount glass or the top being chopped off just for starters.

I meant the flush mount glass

That thing is beautiful, but what a trailer queen!

Kevin did you see any flaws at all? All the gaps look great in your pics.

The "trunk" was extremely shallow, compared to how deep you might think it would be. That was the only thing that made me say WTF. All of the other stuff is more on the subjective side.

I can't wait to get mine done!

Yes but was'nt that because the fuel cell was right under the floor. To answer your question not I did not find any flaws and I only found one seam that was not filled, ground or smoothed! It was the front return lip of the hood

No completly my kind of build but the time and craftsmanship was increadable.

It could be... I didn't get that great of a look. I just figured with that much area back there they could of managed a larger trunk. It seemed only deep enough to hold a monopoly game back there and yes I know I'm being picky

Also the more I think about it the batery, air compressor, tanks and other misc items are most likly under that space as well. With the rest of the way that truck was built it probly had a false floor with everything mounted under it. Just a thought!
