Looks like I will be picking up a rust free LWB for free to start a roadster build in my spare time.

Spare time you say?

gottwake · 06-21-2009, 11:08 PM

Okay, finally got some time to make a little progress. I had to completely re-do my door posts because I made them a little too square and they need an angle so the door clears at the rear. Anyway, I finally cut-in the door latches and strikes. This was a total pain in the butt because of how the door is shaped. But actually, the placment of the latch is kinda cool because it sits even with the edge of the inner door. The strike was easier.
I found these door latch releases. Here

gottwake · 06-21-2009, 11:12 PM

Here's the pics of the strike, it's actually cut-into the post. I didnt have time to finish-off the door and stike today.

Black with yellow and orange flames. Flames will be at the upper body line, real streamline front to back.

gottwake · 06-21-2009, 11:41 PM

Here is a few other pics. One is the inner door and the door post re-done. One is the inner strike, and the door shut and latched. The last ones are the windsheild and cowl that was requested.

gottwake · 06-22-2009, 10:54 PM

I had to clean under her so I moved it.

nuke1 · 06-22-2009, 10:59 PM

she is looking really good, nice and clean. way to go

VA72C10 · 06-22-2009, 11:00 PM

Nicely done!

gottwake · 06-24-2009, 11:53 PM

Started the passenger side door today. Soon as that's done I'll be ready to sling some serious mud (bondo)!!

**88JRFAN** · 06-25-2009, 12:00 AM

Looking awesome. Will be one of the best looking blazers.

gottwake · 07-26-2009, 12:05 AM

Just had enough time today to install the latch and make the linkage.

LOL, naaa...not even close to what yours is going to look like. My flames are only at the top of the body line and only takes up 6" total, from front to tailgate. Most of your front end is yellow, mine is still mostly black. My flames are waaay different than the ones in your drawing. Small and tight, old skool type. Anyhow, my flames are "now" going to be yellow / lime green with lime interior.

gottwake · 07-26-2009, 09:50 AM

I was going to go with all lime, but I have an HOA...LOL

Rokcrln · 07-26-2009, 10:21 PM

Me likes!

I now have a 70 LWB (95% rust free) sitting in my side yard waiting for a conversion

Once I get a few other projects rolling under their own power.

Kevin, I dig your flip thing. I only wish I had seen your flip thing before I spent $700 on the steel to make my rotisserie.

For a blazer you need just what you built! I will be getting one as well but I will go with the pre made one you see at all the good guys shows. Not enough time to build everything my self if I ever want to get a few of these projects done
