The rc4wd blazer has a bit different plastic and it seems to require a specific type of chemical. | |

Started on the body filler today. Finally filled that awful crack in the roof Hmmm looking more suburbany Still debating on how to mount the camper. Not sure if I should just weld it or use the brackets that come with the k5 blazer body. Got a ton of sanding/shaping to do. Should be primed and ready to paint by this weekend Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk |

Are you going to stretch the ass end a little? The rear end hangs out further than the Blazers do.

Cool. I've always wanted to bob a suburban to the length of a K5. I drag my rear bumper everywhere.

Thanks a lot guys! So I decided to wait to mount the camper until my brackets come in. Don't need it breaking off while wheeling it! I primed the top to check the filler a bit better. I can still see the body filler when it's painted. Perhaps I should use a finer sand paper? I'm using 2500. Any who. Here are the updated pix Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk |

Okay guys I decided to make the rear look longer by cutting out the wheel wells and putting them on opposite sides. Cuts are rough lol, but will be perfect after sanding. Here is one side of it mounted. It is taped because it is filled with weld from the opposite side of the body. Camper shot Lookin more burby Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk |

Are you planning to put the front-to-rear ribs in the roof too, or leave it smooth like a truck/K5? The removeable roof with 4 doors reminds me of the Centurion F350/Bronco builds of the early '90's... but cooler because it's a Chevy.
