Too funny.. I took the plunge ealrier today and went for the 4 way Big red.

Looking good...

Twisted78SS · 03-17-2009, 07:46 PM

OK, none of the typical progress, but I have continued to collect some parts.

I ordered the Big Red 4way valve form the Air ride sale going on..

I also found a set of 50th sun visors at a local yard, which reminded me that I never posted the pictures of the 50th sun visors, Dash Pad, and Door Panels I got from Livrat. I am going to compare the two sets and keep the best one's. I'll take some pictures and post them soon.

I did complete a rebuild on the Edelbrock 750 that came with the 454, but once I opened it up it was like new inside, so it went really quick. Other than that, I have been busy doing the family thing. Looking forward to getting some things done before the weekend though.

One more thing, since all I had was a low res photo of a Blazer with the side trim, the guys over in the Photoshop forum did their best to do a color change for me My fault for that.. here it is, and I still love the look!

Here's my feeble attempt at photoshop...........

72BlckButy · 03-17-2009, 09:27 PM

Man that's going to be sick....

I can't wait to see it!

Looking at the 2 photochops, I think you need to do the windshield frame in white, that way it still looks like a 50th with the top off. Just my $.02

67_C-30 · 03-17-2009, 11:58 PM

It is going to be beautiful! I totally on painting the windshield post white also.
Here's my feeble attempt at cleaning up Hart Rod's rendering, but it still needs to be shortened. Anybody?

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-18-2009, 04:38 AM

3rd's on the WS frame, and I wish I could do PS

(The reason I do NOT have a rendering for my build)

Twisted78SS · 03-18-2009, 11:44 AM

Damn, that is looking good.. A big thanks to you guys for doing that.

I agree 100%, after I saw the first one I was wondering what was missing, now I see it is the white windshield pillar. Will be going with white for sure.

ColoradoK5 · 03-18-2009, 12:06 PM

I really like your idea for the 50th, that gold really grows on you once you look at a few of them.

**thelonerife** · 03-18-2009, 12:48 PM

Hey now who gave you permission to change the color of my blazer

I thought about doing the same thing but I am going for a more custom look but I love the idea.

**raggedjim** · 04-23-2009, 12:33 PM

I've always wanted to try something like this, but don't have the skills...

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-25-2009, 06:39 AM

You PS guys are killing me, a few changes to that could
be the inspiration for me to have a finished pic of mine.

Any updates?

Twisted78SS · 07-28-2009, 06:33 PM

OK, it's been to long without updating any progress on the Blazer, but I have moved things around in the shop and taken Brad's 68 in for storage while he is away. This is not giving me much room to work, but I have been collecting a few parts along the way. Things will get rolling in a couple of weeks once I finish the 78 (finally!).. next update will actually have some pics...

72BlckButy · 07-29-2009, 07:27 AM

Can't wait for the pics!

**lks dcvn** · 07-29-2009, 08:04 AM

CheyenneShop · 07-30-2009, 12:11 AM

It's amazing how you can think of an idea and think you're soooo smart and then BAM there it is in it's own build thread!

I love this idea and love the work!

I may have missed it as I just scanned through, but are you going roadster?

I definitly would go with the white on the upper A-posts, but it would be cool it you went white on the top too.

Subscribed and loving it.

my67chevytruck · 07-30-2009, 12:32 PM
