Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

As far as the interior design went. I had an idea of what I and the owner wanted. I had a quick sketch done up by Surface-dvd.com, but the interior fabricator and I changed it up quite a bit. I'd say it's helpful, but not 100% necessary to have a rendering done of the interior.

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

9 months later and the end of the bad luck of paint shops and interior shops is finally over! A couple little things to tie up and this thing will get shipped out. Unfortunately, I won't have time to get to it for about 3 weeks.

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

Getting some more work done on the roadster. Hoping to finally finish this thing up in the next week or so.
I made a hood release lock by using heims on each end of an aluminum tube. One end bolts to a tab I made that attaches to the release, the other end locks via a pad lock through another tab bolted to the frame. The lock sits just above the front roll pan.



Got the AC lines made and installed

Made a custom emblem that lights up

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

Not unless someone is gonna pay me to bring it there. This is a customer vehicle, and it's not worth the headache for me to bring it unless I'm getting paid.

Not sure, but that'd be another security bonus.

They're not under the hood. They're hidden behind the rear quarter interior panels.

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project

Welp, the 3 year project is finally gone. There was still some things I wanted to get done, but the owner was too impatient and wanted the truck back now. They're all minor things and he will get them done I'm sure. I drove it only a few miles, but it was far enough to get to a decent photo shoot spot.
The rest of the pics will have to wait till the magazine runs.
Thanks for all your comments and praises throughout the process. I'm great full to the owner for giving me the chance to build the truck, but I'm also happy to be done with it.
Hopefully I'll get some funds to work on the 83 Chevy I started a while back for another customer and can keep that thread updated. I also just picked up a personal truck for myself which I plan to build next year ('49 3100).
