Nice ride, very creative!

Question: I know it is some other build somewhere (blah blah, search, yeah I know...) BUT, how hard was it to do that glove box door to gauge cluster mount? It looks really good, and talk about a place where you don't want to mess it up. Any tips?

Thanks!

Big J · 12-03-2008, 01:52 PM

I'm diggin' the paint progress pics. Got any more?

5150 · 12-07-2008, 11:00 PM

Just got back. Not much progress, or at least picture worthy progress.

Bought a grille emblem from Tim on Wednesday

Jason made some brackets and got the back seat installed and got lowered an inch

He got the hood lined up and I helped him take it off so he could paint it

I got some bucket seat tracks at a junkyard the other day. Jason may cut them down a little to lower them. Just depends on how high they sit up. Got one out of a extended cab 94 so the passenger side seat adjusts alot farther for the rear passengers to get in.

You are going to want to cut those down unless you like bugs in your teeth from sitting above the windshield.

5150 · 12-08-2008, 09:44 AM

Yea, we plan on doing that. Just waiting for the seat so we know how much.

meathead95 · 12-08-2008, 01:02 PM

BACKYARD88 · 12-09-2008, 06:13 PM

You caught that too huh

kizer · 12-09-2008, 06:25 PM

Man that flat red is amazing.

tdave00 · 12-10-2008, 06:50 AM

I see what you mean now about the bottom grill insert (the indentions for the turn signals). Did Woody say whether or not the other grill we had for Project Underhaulin had a bottom grill insert worth using?

5150 · 12-10-2008, 10:16 AM

I just decided to go with the turn signals in the grille. Much easier then trying to find that piece and we were on a little of a timetable.

He finished up painting today. I'll go by and get some pics in a few.

5150 · 12-10-2008, 01:51 PM

Just got back from bringing the wheels over. It looks awesome. I am so happy with it.

VA72C10 · 12-10-2008, 01:55 PM

Wow!

Looks absolutely awesome!

tvblazer78 · 12-10-2008, 02:58 PM

**Palf70Step** · 12-10-2008, 03:02 PM

Very Nice Bryan!!

tdave00 · 12-10-2008, 03:23 PM

Wow. Now that's what I call progress. Very nice!

Twisted78SS · 12-10-2008, 03:30 PM

Can't think of anything else to say but WOW! Awesome build and a very inspiring concept... I guess I had better go and get me one..

Big J · 12-10-2008, 04:27 PM

Looks awesome! Keep up the pace. Whats next on the list?

*1sik52* · 12-10-2008, 04:39 PM

When you look at the first pic and compare it to now, thats what you call Rags to Riches!

my67chevytruck · 12-10-2008, 05:11 PM

very nice blazer you have there

Kiamichi Kid · 12-10-2008, 06:02 PM

Is the flat paint a single stage, or does it take a flat clear? Very cool build. I like the color. Very nice work.

OARNGESI · 12-10-2008, 06:20 PM

That looks great

**jaros44sr** · 12-10-2008, 06:34 PM

Don't know what to say...sweet build?, doesn't seem like enough. Everything you've done so far is really nice

tdave00 · 12-10-2008, 07:00 PM

I figured a before and (almost) after was in order. What a difference!
