I need to cut off the lower pinch molding.

[67cheby]

if you do cut it off ..... you might as well go ahead and set it on the ground ....you know you wont be happy until you do , man this lowering thing is an ADDICTION !!!

[67cheby]

by the way i love how you made all of the top of the rails and doors match, thats clean

[gottwake]

Thanks man. He post a few pics of your truck...the one in your avitar

[gottwake]

Anyone have a full tilt front? I'd like to see what it looks like.

[smashingchuck]

Sweet build. I love the door/ top rail treatment, windshield, and of course the stance.

[gottwake]

Thanks Chuck.
Here is a few pics of the bed rail extensions. Also, the green tape is where the fenders are gonna get cut for the tilt hood.

I was with you on everything until you want to cut the fender for a tilt front end. You went though all of the trouble to shave the cowl panel and weld it in,and shave everything else on the body and make it flow, then you go and make another body gap where there shouldn't be one? I'm not trying to be negative, and it is your truck, but I just don't think that mod fits with everything else that you've worked so hard on. I hope you do prove me wrong in the end if you do go forward with this, because so far this is my favorite Blazer build going on right now.

x2 on that tilt hood...but an amazing build! I've enjoyed following very much.

[gottwake]

I know where you're coming from. I pondered this for a while. We did a mock-up on photoshop and it looked okay with the black paint and flames. Plus we're getting rid of a bunch more body lines in the fenders/hood/bumper and grille.
I dig constructive criticism, it helps. What does suck, however, is that now I'm gonna be second guessing this all day tomorrow at work. Nothing has been cut yet.

dont do it!!!!!!!!!!!

[PBFAB.COM]

I have never been a fan of the forward tilt hoods. I think that you would regret it.

It's definitely coming out really nice!

[hgs_notes]

Why not just do the forward tilt hood?

[my67chevytruck]

I agree with just forward tilting the hood, then if you dont like it , it's much easier to go back vs. redoing the fenders etc if you change your mind.
Great progress thus far. Looking forward to your decision..........

[jlaird]

This is an awesome build. I have a question for you. Is that the factory tailgate or is it a skin? If factory, what did you do to fill the gap when welding it? Piece of sheet metal, round rod?

BTW, I agree on the not cutting fenders.

[N2TRUX]

One more vote for not cutting. Tilt the hood but save the fenders.
