Looks great. What was the tire sizes going to be?

bagged74 · 07-12-2007, 12:01 AM

not sure on the front, whatever I can find that will match up to a 285/35 on the rear. Im picky and have to have matching tread.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 07-12-2007, 05:04 AM

but easy almost never looks as good has the true hard work that goes into the details such as like what you did with the tubs which i love by the way

kyle4381 · 07-12-2007, 11:27 PM

less than an inch, im shooting for about 1/2", but we will see how it goes when I start building the bracket for the front.

hotrodhomi · 07-14-2007, 12:59 AM

What are your plans for the dash. It looks like you have an older dash over top of the OG dash. Mock up?

I wouldnt really call it a mock up, but you can kind of get an idea as to what it might look like

IF i were to put it in there

SCOTI · 07-14-2007, 11:52 PM

Wouldn't it be easier to just make the cover go from tub to tub?

Yes it would be easier, but it would also raise the back of the seat up. The seat actually sits down around the notch cover. This will keep it from sitting up too high and looking awkward. That, and the fact that my sheetmetal break is only 48" wide.

Don't ask bagged74, ask his wife. She will give you the real story. From what I heard the VW spanked him good. His story was he went up in smoke, but I think he just got.....

I never get tired of seeing these things on the ground! Looks amazing... and can't wait to see it with the "real wheels"!

I may just have to get myself a blazer...

gringoloco · 11-08-2007, 12:26 AM

Oh yeah!

This is major motivation for me- your Blazer looks flippin' badass!

**lolife99** · 11-08-2007, 08:47 AM
