Had to start by fnding one with no rust, after that i chopped it off and down 2.5'' and laid it back 3.0'' I shaved off the drip rail and removed the lip that holds the rubber in place and capped the ends. my goal was to make the hood dash and windsheld all flow together. getting the winshield cut in a few days if i'm lucky.

Got a little done, need to sand and buff bed sides then spray in the bed liner and put it all back together

. feels good to be so close, but there's still a ton of work to be done.

Looking awesome!

Looks great I love the color and wheel combo as well as all the body mods. This is the inspiration for my blazer. I have the same color and wheel combo. I just don't have the same skills for the metal work so I think I will keep the body stock. I cant wait to see it finished. Thanks for the comments on my thread.

rancid · 05-28-2007, 10:47 PM

now that really makes me want to get mine done.

rancid · 05-30-2007, 08:54 PM

hers one with the roof cut off, still going to shave the gutter and round off all of with shield frame with some half round and even half round over the windshield posts. i think i will also after joing the bedsides to the cab i will use ssome half round over the tailgate and bed and doors.

slogo · 05-30-2007, 09:00 PM

Looks like you got the right idea, nice work. u gonna chop it?

rancid · 05-30-2007, 09:16 PM

i put the truck bench in and since it has a little longer wheelbase, i think i might have to notch the back coner of the seat just a little and i will have a full bench instead of the littler blazer seat. but we will see what i got myself into, but after really looking it over i dont think it will be that bad other than the setting up the rear body mounts. but it will get done.

rancid · 05-30-2007, 09:35 PM

i might take 2-3 inches off and lean it just a bit. keep bringing those pics, i started my chage of plans on the shortbed after seeing yours. what size of a c-notch do you have and how low did you go.
