Rendering which some of you may have seen




AWESOME! Love the rendering. I have one for my Blazer that is very similar with the 68 clip however it is red and white instead of blue and white. Who did the rendering? Yours is a little better than mine, haha!

Jeff,
A girl I used to work with did it for me. Unfortunately she's no longer with us.
She used KevsClassics blazer as the base. He took pics just so I could do the rendering from them. He also sells some very nice tilt columns.

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?

Very nice!, The roadster doors look great. What size wheels and tires and suspension are you running.Nice to see more Washington state Blazers on the road. My black 72 should be a driver this summer.

I'm running 17's with 8's in the front an 10's in the rear. Can't remember the tire sizes off the top of my head. The suspension is all ART with drop spindles. What kinda stuff you running?

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?

Im using the fatman suspension up front with a c notch and drop springs in the back. Its a static drop right now, but will probably switch to air ride after this summer. For wheels I am planning on running Billet specialties qualifiers 17x8s up front and 18x9.5s in the back. I havent picked my tires yet, but that will happen very soon. My Blazer is a black 72 with a 68 nose. I'm also going to do the roadster doors. This project has taken a long time and I'm very anxious to wrap it up.

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?

Here's my 72' GMC Jimmy factory 2wd. I'm not much of a picture guy, so I don't have pics of the truck when I got it or while I was pulling the body off, etc. I got the dimensions for the body cart off of a board member-body sits perfectly level. Thanks! This board has a wealth of knowledge. Plans are LS/t56 combo, setup for handling with porterbuilt components (many paychecks stand between Nate's parts and my Jimmy lol), 68' GMC front clip (keep it GMC!!!), the whole 9...you guys know how it is. Never ends...

Looks good Phil, and sounds like it'll be a fun ride when done! I know the feeling of the many paychecks issue...

Everything about your blazer is top knotch. The interior is super clean. I really like how you made the glove box match the dash panel, I've never seen that before, hope you dont mind if I borrow that idea for mine.
