Blazer model kit-bash

[Engineered Vintage]

So - did a little bit of arm-chair blazer building this week.

What do you think?

This is just a mock-up - this thing will literally fall to pieces right now if you breathe to hard on it

Still need to figure out a way to do the CST tailgate trim, fix the driver mirror, and glue the frame together where you can see the break and then screw/glue everything together

- Oh and find that pesky '71-'72 grille that I seem to have misplaced from a different model

(Check out those driveline angles!)

With that much lift you're going to need crossover steering!

Or at least SOME kind of steering....

I also think you should cut the spring perches and rotate your diffs a bit to help the pinion angle. You're going to go through u-joints like crazy!

All and all, that's pretty cool!

It was either that or look at the size of the disc brakes!

Nice job.

I dont see tow hooks or a tach dash.......does that thing have an am radio or am/fm?

Nice work! You're using a few different models to make this?

The tow ball in the back should come in real handy too

Sandblasted the wix model and powdercoated it blue

There is a Tach dash, vacuum gauge, tilt column, & am/fm radio

And the horn works!

But no tow hooks yet

You did a mock up first on a model! Looks cool, if only it were a Jimmy.
