Re: Roadster Project
 

im with everyone else...baddest blazer on the board BUT....the tilt front end screams 1985 to me... i might be doing some stuff to mine that other people dont like either but in the end you have to please yourself, i have said this before if we all liked them the exact same way we would never go to car shows because they would be all the same , so whatever you like is the decision you should make

Re: Roadster Project
 

1985...LOL.
WOW, the general consensus rules. No front tilt, we're gonna do a front "hood" tilt instead. I will post some pics when we start. It's cool, this will be a lot easier anyhow.

Re: Roadster Project
 

Sheet metal filler...didnt know there was a skin for this.

Re: Roadster Project
 

woooooo 1985 RULES !!!!!! just kidding , glad you decided to go the other way, this thing is going to be KILLER

Re: Roadster Project
 

Agreed. Leg warmers, breakfast club...good stuff.
Hood tilt is in the works as we speak.

Re: Roadster Project
 

I love the tilt forward hood mod....

Re: Roadster Project
 

Much better. :cool:

Re: Roadster Project
 

yeah, Grant Kustoms makes one.

I've had this bookmarked for ages!

Just the tailgate here.

Re: Roadster Project
 

Soo bumbed. I wish I saw this a few months ago.

Re: Roadster Project
 

If you could figure out a way to combine the cowl into the hood for this mod, you would remove another body line and would be a unique feature.

Re: Roadster Project
 

Hey good idea...I will get back to ya on this. I need to go meditate on this. I need to become one with the "Roadster".
I wanted and excuse to re-do my cowl anyhow.

Re: Roadster Project
 

There's a 67-68 truck that Dean's Hot Rods or Hot Rods by Dean (not positive on the name) built that has the hood and cowl in one piece... it looks like pretty cool mod that would flow nicely with everything else.

Re: Roadster Project
 

How about moving the cowl body line up?

Re: Roadster Project
 

That one looks very good too. Notice the hood ridge integrated into the cowl and the cowl smoothed into the windshield frame? And a flush mount windshield. Wow, alot of work went into that area alone.

Re: Roadster Project
 

Here is one picture of the truck nathan had mentioned from Hotrodsbydean

Re: Roadster Project
 

Based on your fab skills I think you could pull something off like this...:metal:

Re: Roadster Project
 

Damn!! that thing is crazy.

Re: Roadster Project
 

Yeah, I think it's a bit too much. I do like the hood treatment though.

Re: Roadster Project
 

Glad you didnt go with the full tilt...your build is lookn awsome:metal: nice metal work..

Re: Roadster Project
 

You guys actually talked me out of it. The hoods done. I'll post some pics soon...

Re: Roadster Project
 

Not too much progress...installed the tilt but still have to french it in, and lowered her a little more.

Re: Roadster Project
 

Keep up the good work!!!

Re: Roadster Project
 

Looking good....where are those hood pics?

Re: Roadster Project
 

Under the hood...LOL, just kidding. I wasnt able to take them yet because my hoods being used as a work bench. Soon, I will have them
I will also have pics of the arm rests which are fabbed in from the back seat to the front doors. Should be super sweet. And the rear trunk lid and I want to do those head rests that look like tear drops in the rear trunk. Kinda follows the whole roadster theme...wadda ya think. ( kinda afraid to ask again)

Re: Roadster Project
 

Cheesy, nah I'm just kidding. It's your truck and your vision. Do what you want with it. You have the skills to change anything later if you decide you don't like it.

I always liked the mini roll bar thing behind the driver like the cobras had. But they don't have a back seat. Hey wait, wonder what a blazer would look like shortened some more and losing the back seat?
