Blang blang! Those mock-up wheels just prove that the proportions of the blazer are better suited to 22's.

Are you sticking with those mirrors or going with sport mirrors?

**67cheby** · 01-07-2013, 01:29 PM

i hate page roll ! Yes deff going with 22's, and some other mirrors for sure ! any ideas on mirrors ? 67 Camaro ?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-07-2013, 01:30 PM

Square Peg looks good did you decide on a dash yet?

lol, leaning back towards "stock" we had 2 different ways we were thinking of going with the blazer but i think we are just going to do the "Classic" 2 tone with all the trim !

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-07-2013, 01:33 PM

as for the mirrors check out mister rhinos build thread I think we use 69 to 72 Corvette mirrors And they look pretty slick

Mike, I used old raydot mirrors on mine. I have the single piece windows, and mounted them in the little triangle piece just forward of the window

**LEEVON** · 01-07-2013, 04:18 PM

The stock "sport" mirrors look pretty good IMO, very similar to the 69-72 sport mirrors.

gringoloco · 01-07-2013, 05:21 PM

Oh yeah, early clip and the deuces. Looking good! I think you need to paint it ochre/white insert with saddle guts

watahyahknow · 01-07-2013, 06:36 PM

make some pics straight from the side so people and do some photoshop stuff on it colour wheels that sortah stuff
as for mirrors make sure you can still mount big mirrors when youre towing maibe make sunting you can hook mirrors ontoo without scratching the paint like let them hang from a roofrack or sumtin like that

sumtimes you can find realy good looking mirrors in bike catalogs they usually only take one hole to mount

black_sheep454 · 01-07-2013, 07:53 PM

Its looking great man. I think it would look awesome painted charcoal with a maroon belt with all the moulding.

I vote '77 blazer clone.
Yellow/gold "one year only" trim,... with a woodgrain insert on the side.
This is member bigblock73's old blazer that I almost bought.
Factory plaid interior also,...

black_sheep454 · 01-07-2013, 09:08 PM

I do love the 77 yellow trim too

Ochre would be even better!

72BlckButy · 01-07-2013, 09:29 PM

I agree... stock sport style mirror is the only option IMO. Classic, sleek and just plain cool.

**67cheby** · 01-07-2013, 10:10 PM

I am sure you guys wouldn't even believe me but that is the options we have been bouncing between hence (Square Peg) my friend Charles the Kid Armstrong one of the BEST sir brush artists out there has agreed to air brush the wood if we go that way ! I can't believe you guys actually guessed this ! Lol

Stellar idea! But I'd have Chuck spray the trim around it instead of using stock trim, and see what he thinks about where the border should be.

I bet you love all our suggestions, don't ya?

Nothing to see here...just your everyday family utility vehicle with a woodgrain motif laying frame on 22's...move along folks.

I've seen woodgrain airbrushed and it looks good!

watahyahknow · 01-08-2013, 11:53 AM

Kustom Werx did airbrushed trim back in the day on a 2 tone 72 C10, blue with gray insert. Very cool! I love the idea of airbrushing whatever trim you decide to go with.
