envious8420 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I started out with the usa-1 monster truck kit from AMT. I ditched the monster truck wheels and tires for a set of soreal concepts 49in. Interco TRXUS MT tires on weld wheels. after modifying the leaf springs i got it down to a reasonable height. The blazer rear is scratch built from styrene and filler. once the body is ready for paint ill start building a decent power plant. comments and opinions welcomed!
jeffs396 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Looking great so far! Always liked the full-size 2dr Blazer/Tahoes...too bad they quit makin'em
Jared Roach Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 That's lookin pretty sweet. I like the midsize s-series blazer better but that's just because I own a sonoma. It looks like it coming along, good job!
Railfreak78 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Sweet build of the newer Blazer. I like your scratch building. To bad in real life they killed it off changed the name to Tahoe then decided to add a couple more doors later. Long live Blazer!
Guest lugnuts Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 looks good so far. Those tires are the so real 46 inch tires, not the 49's. The 49's are way bigger and wider.

weasel Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) not to thread jack ya... i went the other direction...down, and a little euro feel for this little parts getter... Edited December 29, 2009 by weasel
gilsdropshop1 Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 nice looking blazer you have this one is looking good keep pics coming.
Joe Handley Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Neat, I'm digging the sedan delivery/panel van look! Sweet build of the newer Blazer. I like your scratch building. To bad in real life they killed it off changed the name to Tahoe then decided to add a couple more doors later. Long live Blazer! Yea, but they truely ruined it after swapping to that inferior front suspension too
Guest lugnuts Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Thanks for the heads up, i never could get an actual size in scale on these. Well if ya actually scale em out, the 49's are 50's and the 46's are 47's. But they call em 49's and 46's. They also have the 44's boggers. The 49's are the "iroks " it says irok on the side wall, the 46's are the trux's, says it on the side wall. 44's are the boggers, they look diff all have a diff tread design. Not an expert, or trying to take away from your build, just a freindly heads up! Keep the good work up!
