Dash is very cool. Going ultra retro. Maybe you said but what's that out if?

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

:lol::lol:

Thank you, it is out of a 1955 Bel Air. Had to be stretched 9.5 inches, but it fits.:lol:

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Ok thx. I thought it looked like a 50s dash. Very cool

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Looking killer!

I know you are running 22x8.5 & 22x12's.. What are your tire specs?

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Looks great!

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd

Thank you sir, it's been a crazy build so far!:uhmk:

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

After getting the front clip on and half way aligned it looks like a project!!

Ok then. Tic toc.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

JMHO but, if you're doing a 2WD it should look like this thread

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Nice, nice, nice

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Very nice!

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Did you figure out what to do with the cowl along the bottom of the windshield? I've been curious for a while what you decided. This thing is incredible!

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

:lol::lol: I know, right!?!?

Lol, the how to thread!! :lol:

Thank you Sir!

Thanks Brotha!

Yes sir I did. I'll get some pics up for ya a little later tonight or tomorrow. It was pretty simple once I figured it out. Happy to share!!:metal:

Roadster cowl customization in 5 easy steps!!! :lol: I really hope this helps someone out!

Mark where your cowl should be cut to match the A-pillar.
Attachment 1846861
First the back portion of the cowl was cut off and relief cuts where made from the back toward the front. I took out about 1.25" at the rear and none across the center of the cowl. I cut out excess metal until both pieces butted together nicely. This gives you a flatter surface than stock.
Attachment 1846862
I cut out the fresh air vents on the cowl and replaced it with 18 gauge metal. I made the metal concave to match the cowl then used a shrinker/stretcher to get it to bend properly to match the compound curve from side to side.
Attachment 1846863
I worked a little short hair fiberglass into the cuts then went over that with some trusty bondo to get it to look halfway decent.
Attachment 1846864
After a small amount of sanding I got it very close but still feel a small dip where the inside relief cut was made. A little more pookie on it, and it should be good! For the record, I'm not a bodyman!!:metal:

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

That's pretty nice work for a non-body man. Looks awesome!

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Oh now that's funny- For the record.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

I gave it a shot!!!:metal:

Definitely not a body man!! But I'll try anything once!! :uhmk:

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Excuse all the junk in the background. Just wanted to post a picture showing the shaved cowl. It makes the whole truck look different.
Attachment 1867894

I have been working to get the dash, door, fender, body and custom sail panel on the door aligned. This is turning into a hassle but it will be worth it in the end. :banghead:
Attachment 1867895

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Looks awesome. All the lines are coming together nicely.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Thank you sir!!:metal:

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

I have not done much to the Blazer lately, but that is about to change!! This is the concept I have in mind and if it flows together it may be what happens. I am going for the old Corvette look.:metal: Thoughts?

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Have never seen that before! Would look killer!!

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

This is the reason my Blazer has not been getting much attention. I bought this little 78 GMC and put some time in on it. She is cool, just not old enough.
