Design Competition #4 - K5 Design Contest

[Camino LS6]

I sure hope that you can find the time, I've always liked your work.

I really want that freaking watch:

Easily the best effort yet. Nice, z!

[GMTruckGuy74]

I really want that freaking watch:

And I declare a winner...

Now give him the freakin' watch

[Camino LS6]

Not so fast!

"I'll do the thinin' around here"

I still expect some more entries here.

Thanks for yours, Z.

It is certainly a contender.

I am still hoping to see another approach that occurred to me. Let's see if anyone else might be thinking along those lines.

And no, I'm not giving out any hints.

[z28luvr01]

I have another idea, but I don't know if I'll be able to flesh it out before the end of the contest AND paint/tile my bathroom AND pack for my vacation that starts the week after next. I'll give it my best though. If I can't get it out I'm confortable with my entry as it stands now.

[Camino LS6]

I'd love to see it!

^^ It is funny you mentioned that...as I also had this other "Idea"...:

[Drew Dowdell]

I'm thinking that one isn't gonna go over well. A Tracker maybe, a Blazer, no dice.

I already have an idea for contest after this one also.

[Camino LS6]

Let's just say that I doubt that that one followed the recipe. See NOS' entry to get what I'm saying.

[Camino LS6]

One last minute bit of advice to consider:

The parameters laid-out in the rules are pretty simple, but they are not restrictive in lots of ways. For instance, all of the following are true

- the size of the truck isn't specified

- no restriction is made on the source vehicles (any brand could serve as inspiration)

- Beyond being longitudinal, the engine can be whatever you wish.

- No specific generation of the Blazer is a hard and fast template for design.

- Current GM styling is not a requirement

- The traditional ties to the Suburban and pickup are not required.

And that is as close as I will get to giving you hints about the concept in my head.

[GMTruckGuy74]

I really want that freaking watch:

If you could, when you get the time, can you make the back of the truck metal? What I mean is, no removable top (like the '92-'97 Yukon 2-door rather than the '70-'91 Jimmy). I absolutely love your rendition - I was meaning to ask someone to make a Regular Cab, Short Bed out of the Sierra All Terrain HD Concept for me, but your "Jimmy" is close enough. BTW, I printed it out and pinned it to my cubical wall to stare at all day

Camino, I still think z28 deserves the watch

[Camino LS6]

The judging won't start until the deadline.

[Drew Dowdell]

The watch has been ordered and is on it's way to my house.

When I first decided to enter this contest I insisted that my entry have a removable top. The fixed roof on the shorty GMT-400s was my ONLY knock against them. Still that would be a relatively easy mod to implement on my current chop, while going hand in hand with the "idea" I alluded to in my previous post. I really hope I can get it done on time.

[Camino LS6]

I have a question about that removable top, Z.

Can you describe its construction?

[MRDETROITMETAL]

Well OK...but I'll tell you that a market for that dose exsist, IMO....as a S 10 based Blazer.

...But the other entries work for this purpose.

[Camino LS6]

That may well be, but it doesn't follow the rules of this contest.

Still, the mention of the S-10 is interesting...

[FAPTurbo]

Here's the Chevy 'KFap' Blazer.

The watch is mine, losers.

[MRDETROITMETAL]

....THEN again....hmmm, ;

[Delta Force79]

Here's the Chevy 'KFap' Blazer.

The watch is mine, losers.

Win.

Truly we are in the presence of greatness.

[FAPTurbo]

Whoever docked my post a point couldn't handle the competition.

[Intrepidation]

Just thought I should mention that it appears your frame is bending just behind the driver's happy face. May want to add some structural integrity to it.

It's called 'impressionism.'
