FYI, Air Ride has a sale going on right now in this thread. I didn't need valves yet, but at almost half-price, it was kinda hard to pass up.

Too funny.. I took the plunge ealrier today and went for the 4 way Big red.

OK, none of the typical progress, but I have continued to collect some parts.

I ordered the Big Red 4way valve form the Air ride sale going on..

I also found a set of 50th sun visors at a local yard, which reminded me that I never posted the pictures of the 50th sun visors, Dash Pad, and Door Panels I got from Livrat. I am going to compare the two sets and keep the best one's. I'll take some pictures and post them soon.

I did complete a rebuild on the Edelbrock 750 that came with the 454, but once I opened it up it was like new inside, so it went really quick. Other than that, I have been busy doing the family thing. Looking forward to getting some things done before the weekend though.

One more thing, since all I had was a low res photo of a Blazer with the side trim, the guys over in the Photoshop forum did their best to do a color change for me My fault for that.. here it is, and I still love the look!

Looking at the 2 photochops, I think you need to do the windshield frame in white, that way it still looks like a 50th with the top off. Just my $.02

It is going to be beautiful! I totally on painting the windshield post white also.
Here's my feeble attempt at cleaning up Hart Rod's rendering, but it still needs to be shortened. Anybody?:lol:

3rd's on the WS frame, and I wish I could do PS :(

(The reason I do NOT have a rendering for my build)

Damn, that is looking good.. A big thanks to you guys for doing that.

I agree 100%, after I saw the first one I was wondering what was missing, now I see it is the white windshield pillar. Will be going with white for sure.

I really like your idea for the 50th, that gold really grows on you once you look at a few of them.

I've always wanted to try something like this, but don't have the skills...

Re: Project 50th C5 Blazer
 
You PS guys are killing me, a few changes to that could
be the inspiration for me to have a finished pic of mine.

Any updates?

OK, it's been to long without updating any progress on the Blazer, but I have moved things around in the shop and taken Brad's 68 in for storage while he is away. This is not giving me much room to work, but I have been collecting a few parts along the way. Things will get rolling in a couple of weeks once I finish the 78 (finally!).. next update will actually have some pics...

It's amazing how you can think of an idea and think you're soooo smart and then BAM there it is in it's own build thread!:lol::lol::lol:

I love this idea and love the work!

I may have missed it as I just scanned through, but are you going roadster?

I definitly would go with the white on the upper A-posts, but it would be cool it you went white on the top too.

Subscribed and loving it.
