| Re: The Chop Shop- 1990 Class 1 Topless K5 Blazer Thanks guys. I think it'll all come together to be one beautiful rig. Im trying to decide on either a styrene rod cage or a simple metal one. If I go styrene it'll still be very strong, but as you could imagine it'd be ALOT lighter. I'm in a hold pattern on that until my styrene shows up for the floor, so I have plenty of time to decide.

. Go for it SO I threw this together real quick last night. It's the CB for my K5. I backlit it with a amber LED and made it all from .20 styrene and some wire. After having built this I kind of have to back light the dash gauges now. | |

Thank you sir. So I've been messing with the dash today. I drilled out the gauges and used some frosted plexi-glass for the lenses. I used Testors clear window glue to secure the lenses. Then I started making the light box. I also lined the inside of the box with a chrome decal. Then I decided to open the ashtray. And once I added power, I had this | |

I got two coats of clear on her. I'm looking into some smaller emblems from MTHead to go on the sides before I spray the last coat of clear and detail out the body. I want to make sure they dont fall off on the trail . Anyways, enough talk, onto the pics . I messed up and sanded off the passenger side lock . Once I get ready for the last clear coat I'll make a couple that look a little more realistic. This is going to be the finished ride height. I may be able to drop it down just a touch, but I figure once it's sitting on the shocks it'll drop just a touch anyways. | |

I got set of the metal emblems from RRP when i ordered my proline body but the body came with stickers that look a little better. But with your attention to details I bet you could make the metal emblems look great on there.

Interior work has begun . I tried to stay as close to I could to the factory setup. Test fit Fits great After a little paint. I started working on my shifter. I decided to shoot for something along the lines of a Hurst. I used some clear styrene and added a LED to the inside. After some paint and detail work. Installed. The CB, dash and shifter lit up. After installing the seats I had this. The seats are going in here. I've also got to hide the battery and electronics somewhere in here. | |
