This is such a sweet project, very cool and creative.
It's funny as I was reading the first of the build progressing down, I thought this is a prime one for suicides...and sure enough you did it.......very nice man, my hats of to you for such superb work.
keep the updates coming.

Did you weld the tailgate shut?

gottwake · 12-28-2009, 08:48 PM

Thanks Dave, I'll get some more pics tomorrow of the trans channeling going on at the moment. Also, were installing the rear tubs and making a center console and new dash.
Sik52-we did weld in the tail gate. We're gettn ready to fill in the bedrails and add a rear trunk-lid.

The old ones? Have no plan for them right now.

VA72C10 · 12-28-2009, 09:22 PM

Looks nice. My gate is going to be filled similarly to yours except with the custom panel I had made to have the Chevrolet script centered in it. And mine will still open with a flip handle.

*1sik52* · 12-28-2009, 11:22 PM

Yes, Im replacing both bedsides

gottwake · 12-28-2009, 11:30 PM

How come? They look new...Sup? Hey check out my new ride.

*1sik52* · 12-28-2009, 11:39 PM

The passenger side was fine on the outside, but the inner was rusted in several spots. The Drivers side was caved in behind the rear wheel and also has some rust spots on the inner bedsides.

gottwake · 12-28-2009, 11:45 PM

Couldnt see that in the pics. Those short bed sides? Do they fit perfectly?

*1sik52* · 12-28-2009, 11:59 PM

Hope so! We will find out

gottwake · 12-29-2009, 09:55 PM

Took some pics today as she came out for some sun.

OARNGESI · 12-29-2009, 09:58 PM

truck looks great i hope one day mine sits like that

gottwake · 12-29-2009, 10:01 PM

Thanks..I use to ride a track out there, actually it just opened a few months before i moved.
Forgot one more...

*1sik52* · 12-29-2009, 10:10 PM

Are you going to run a front bumper? I thought a bout getting the front pan

gottwake · 12-29-2009, 10:24 PM

Were gonna mold a bumper in.

orange71 · 12-29-2009, 11:06 PM

Very nice! keep up the geat work!

VA72C10 · 12-29-2009, 11:20 PM

Looking great man! Are you planning to cut the pinch welds for the rocker?

FnLow69 · 12-30-2009, 12:23 AM

wow dude its looking awesome. as mentioned, you should remove the pinch to stay with the clean look you got going on.

gottwake · 12-30-2009, 12:59 AM

Yea huh...looks like crap now that I can see it from a distance. What do I need to do? Weld a seam there?

*1sik52* · 12-30-2009, 12:29 AM

The pinch mold is a little different on the blazers than the trucks. The pinch on a blazer is also part of the torsion boxes which gives the blazers their extra support for their lack of roof.

VA72C10 · 12-30-2009, 01:02 AM

Well, I did it on my truck but as mentioned, the blazers are different. The one thing is the white color is making it stand out where it won't nearly as bad in black....

gottwake · 12-30-2009, 01:11 AM

IC...Okay then. black paint it is.

1lo67 · 12-30-2009, 10:23 PM

Your Roadster makes me miss my old one.

...dude that puppy is just DOWNWIT IT...lol
