Anyone here build their own grille?

I'm thinking of taking the shell of my 93 and cutting out the middle and leaving just the ends and the mounts, and stretch fleece over the entire thing and glass my own "shell"

Doing a different set of lights, maybe something like the 2nd gen? Shouldn't be hard to find the housings, and then do 2 oval cutouts for cooling....good idea or cheesy?

[Licenseplate]

anything custom is always cool, especially when you build it yourself
that way you know no one else has anythign like it and its your own blood and sweat in it
for the lights, not sure if 2nd gen lights would work out, they wrap around pretty far and youd have to cut into the fenders i think. i really like the look of round lights on a 1st gen, or you could go dual rectangle lights like iroc camaros, just tossing some ideas at you

[jtcfanof3]

Ya, Oxsign Blazer was one that looked good with round lights, but I dont care for round on a square.
Maybe a dual rectangle next to each other like some of the 80's C10's.

Shave the bumper lights and move them up into the grill, or hell just do a full size front end swap, that always looks good!

[firstgenblazer]

im gunna do the full size front swap when i get my blazer

I built mine, up on the top of the page, 1990, cut out the middle, and left the mounting and then put expanded steel in with spacers. 3rd try is charming

sounds like you have some good ideas, not cheesy, but you don't use permanent marker on a drawing board, if ya know what I mean. Keep postin and good luck

[superbee]

I was thinking of doing that. I went to the junk yard and picked up a whole set of light off a cutlass, the ones with the small camaro size lights, 4 of them. SO i was thinking of cutting into the core support and mounting those lights behind the grill, as like a phantom look, or like the old chargers used in like the 69 year or so.

Im going to save that for my next s- project, and just do something mild on the blazer since im selling it.

[krly79]

Not done yet, but I'm trying to figure out what kinda bumper I want to do. That's why I'm here.

[Bad-S]

and for old time sake...

[WHATABURGER]

What are those wheels??? a re they just polished torque thrusts???

[superbee]

Ok got some pics of mine,

several years ago I took off all the paint on my stock grill so it was all chrome.



Altho you cant really tell in that pack because its head on, at any angle it ALOT of chrome, i thought it was too much so finally i decided to change it up a bit.


(the rest of these pics are cell phone pics but still look decent surpisingly yay G1)

[pollard]

My dad (dads truck) got the wrong one I think it was out of a full size or somthing. Needs a trans and it would run has a 327 bored and shit I'll ask him whats been done to it. Long story short he got cancer and its been setting in the garage for I think 2 or 3 years.

LOL thats kind of a problem!


Btw ditch those blocks!!! Nice truck tho.

[RuLayd]

so when putting a 91-93 grille on a 82-89 truck, you need to completely swap out radiator core supports? Why? Are the headlights in different positions on the support

[firstgenblazer]

^^^ yes the headlights are 3/4in higher i think

[bg's]

Here is a pic of mine with a Carriage Works insert. I liked it a lot.
Liked it even more when I painted it black. Flowed o2 over the
condenser and rad like mad.



Now and have been for a while am running my phantom. It doesn't
flow o2 as well. I've posted this pic so many times even I'm getting
sick of seein' it, but oh well..

[RuLayd]

Not with these you dont have to change your support

At car shows nobody even gave the hood a second look with it up, so I did the suicide hood thing. Me and the way the hood opens now have a love/hate relationship.
Did'nt want to whore this thread up with pics, so here is a link to some more if anyone is interested.

Don't mean to bring an old post up, but what do you mean when you say that you shaved it?

[bringtheboom]

heres mine, although the truck has been torn apart for almost a year. and the front end is hanging on the wall of my sop. nothing fancy, jus a bit of paint here and there, h4 headlights, and a big ugly white plate. it has since been updated with clear lenses aswell. bonus night shot.

[2dimes]

my 87 front

[llorracs93s10]

Does anyone have a pic of a front end with a phantom grille, a smooth front chrome bumper(still with parking lights) and the stock lower valance? I've been kicking the idea around but all i see is bumpers with the bolt heads in them.

[bmxzach]

stock anyone? i have a grille that i got with it, will swap it out sometime. looks better than this thing

[trixed]

here's mine with a fullsize billet bow tie
