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.

Very cool man, great to hang with ya this weekend.

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.

wow that blaze is a dream, just amazing. Cant believe i just found this!!

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.

Will you have it at SEMA?

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.

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project
 

Can you get to the lock when it's laid out?

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project
 

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

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project
 

what if the battery dies?

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project
 

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

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. http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l...psa29370b1.jpg
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).

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project
 

Amazing work.
I enjoy your build threads!

Re: Tre5 Customs roadster blazer project
 

Beautiful last shot. Enjoyed watching the build, look forward to the next...Jim
