Re: chopped blazer
No problem. Some of his earlier threads showed laying the windshield back, but the pictures are gone. You might ask him to repost them.

Re: chopped blazer
man, i don't know how to post pics yet. The project is the one that Porterbuilt Streetrods was working on for a member here. There was a rendering done by Carter Hickman, it was a blue blazer, chopped top and all. Well anyway i will be working with Nate to continue the progress on this build since he had already started on it. I will see if i can get him to post some pictures.

Re: chopped blazer
stunna, I was wondering who bought that project. Here is the rendering. Let me know when you want to make it "Yours" and we can do some updating.

Re: chopped blazer
I really like the trunk idea in that rendering. Everyone has their ouwn ideas about what they like so make it your own. Personally, I'm a big fan of chrome bumpers. Also, my tail gate was smoothed like the picture, but not welded shut. I think its the biggest eye sore on my blazer (and I have some fugly mirrors). The smoothed gate looks better with the roll pan though.

Re: chopped blazer
Yes, I personally like for trucks to have tailgates. You can smooth them but just keep them. I did a truck that had a vette inspired rear and really pushed to keep some sort of tailgate. This is what makes a truck a truck and not a car. Just my opinion, I have seen some welded up tailgates that looked nice, but just not my thing.
