Default c10 to topless blazer

Well, I started a topless blazer build. I know I need to raise the front and level it off to the top of the windshield frame. What do you think so far? I'm using 1/8" solid for mock up but, may end up going with 3/16 brakeline.

I've got some black canvas that I want to make a soft top with too. Do you have any side pics without the top?

Looking good BD! I had a buddy in high school who drove a topless Blazer (later model 75?) and we had a blast in that thing! Can't wait to see the finished cage! What color are you thinking about for the body?

Silver body with black cage and frame. I saw this some time last year and have wanted to do it since then.

Not on this one. I'm gonna build it. I'm gonna tack everthing with a MIG and fill in the gaps with solder. 72Blazer, thanks for the pics. Anyone else that has any shoot them my way. This are a few more for inspiration.
