Blazer to Pickup Conversion - Pardonmyn00b's Turks and Jerps

[@scalebuildersguild]

BOY YOU WORK SO FAST and then at normal speed. AND THEN FAST AGAIN.

[@turksandjerps]

I got tired and had to take a break then I recovered

[@nicholasbarber4193]

It turned out great as usual. Thanks for the links! I've been looking for those conversion parts for ages.

[@1slwmoforc]

Outstanding work!!! More so, this video is very special to me as it has really helped on my own Blazer build. At this moment, I’m undergoing my first hard body modification (and it had to be on a Bkazer!!!), extending my K5 to 324mm (12.75”). I had already ordered the parts from Mod19RC at Shapeways before ever watching your vid, then I stumbled upon it and thankfully so cause I was about to start going at it the wrong way. As of now my body has already been glued, filled, and sanded, but I still need to do some more body work to the wheel wells. Still, I really appreciate you making this video and posting for everybody to learn from your amazing techniques. You sir are very kind for that.

[@turksandjerps]

Hey you’re welcome, glad this video could be of help! It was the main intention. Good luck on your build!

[@michaelhoyle2665]

Thanks for sharing your work. I always love your builds. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks for watching!

[@dennishorn5694]

I ordered parts and I’ll be doing my second hard body! It sure is nice to have guys like you to learn from!

[@cooperwrks]

Very nice and came out great. You make it look easy

[@FullMetalFab]

This reminds me when I hacked up a clod buster body from Ebay for my tow truck build, still need to finish the bodywork and paint it. Also nice to know I'm not the only one that uses CA glue as filler lol.

[@RcNickster709]

Yeah man.. Came out great!! I see 9:26 was the purr-fect time for an inspection... lol

[@turksandjerps]

Luckily I passed the inspection

[@RexRacer19]

Great demonstration video! You made it look super easy.

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks! The parts fit perfectly together. Took all the guess work out of it.

[@macavey76]

Wow, amazing work. Well done!

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Got tires swapped on 2 sets of rc4wd rims thought I got some work done........then Mr n00b shows me this.........what am I doing with my life??? Great job as always sir!

[@turksandjerps]

This was five days of work so I’d say you accomplished more than me.

[@tgh117]

excellent job as always. keep up the great work.

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks! I’ll be doing more videos like this.

[@jaytucker1]

That was some great work. I was not liking the idea of chopping up a blazer body and cringed when you started cutting but it turned out really nice. You have some great skills there! I read it isn't yours and you were just doing the body work but I'd love to see it finished sometime. Thanks for the great video.

[@turksandjerps]

Curious to know what made you cringe? The act of cutting a body or the Blazer in particular?

[@joetheado5864]

Excellent work can't wait to see it done 👍👍 🇺🇸

[@turksandjerps]

Sadly it’s not for me. I was just doing the bodywork.

[@monchitoscalecrawling5035]

Point of no return at 0:57. 🤪 Awesome job!

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks!

[@snap_fit8686]

What are your spraying there after the glue,, what its for?

[@seanhanley947]

I especially like how you took a big piece and a bunch of small pieces and made a bigger piece...Also I was masterful how you managed to not glue your fingers to it.

[@turksandjerps]

I edited that part out!

[@seanhanley947]

pardonmyn00b The magic of movie making.

[@wesmadebuilds681]

If you have already, try Upol Dolphin Glaze. It would work wonders on 3D printed parts.

[@kylewatt8339]

i love the cowl i have one on my full size truck

[@Anthony_underscore]

Hey man, sorry to ruin your comment count of 69, but I looked through every single one and my question wasn't already answered, so I'm here to ask: what kind of saw do you use. I see a lot of price variance in the ones sold online. Is there a particular brand you recommend, or is a cheap one as good as any?

[@turksandjerps]

Hehehe... I prefer to use any type of pull saw. Easier to control and get a straight cut. I'm currently into Japanese saws and have been using Suizan brand, I like the 7" Dozuki.

[@bassinwithshawn5468]

What kind of glue are you using? Also what’s the spray and red stuff?

[@ConditionZero76]

Excellent work man 💯🇺🇸😁🤘🏼

[@ProjektONE]

Headquake….. is that you?!?!

[@turksandjerps]

I wish!

[@loadsamtube]

Can you tell me what you sprayed on the body after you applied the glue?

[@turksandjerps]

Super glue accelerator. Speeds up drying time.

[@frederickbehn5610]

Well that’s damned impressive

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks!

[@ekpauly]

You are the master! 👍🏼. F*cking awesome.

[@turksandjerps]

Too kind. Thanks

[@ekpauly]

pardonmyn00b i love the attention to detail and how you show your steps. I really appreciate your work. I’m scared shitless to bob my first hardbody bed. Lol.

[@pocher69]

I love it!!!!

[@martinstinson69]

Thats bad ass bro I want one to match my real life truck. How much u charge for one homie

[@darrelerickson2952]

What would you charge to make a body just in primer and convert the body to pick up

[@urdonercjeremyburris7541]

What was the glue you was using and was the some type of activator

[@turksandjerps]

CA glue. And yes, it was accelerator to speed it up.

[@urdonercjeremyburris7541]

Be awesome to see a video of the stuff you use

[@derekhell666]

do you have a dust collector under that peg board ?

[@turksandjerps]

Connected to a vacuum

[@RIdeWerksInc]

So what is the glue and spray stuff you are using here?

[@turksandjerps]

CA and spray accelerator

[@ravensdalerc]

Hey man well done. Just got the Blazer body and your videos going to guide me through amazingly. lol, here’s hoping mine comes out almost as good as yours:) Couple questions if you have a moment. Is that the 12” wheelbase bed extension? If so, in using my TF2 chassis, is the stock rear shock location still okay to use? Or will I need to move them back a little to center them in the rear wheel wells?

[@turksandjerps]

I can't remember exactly, I think it was 12.3" which would be the TF2 LWB. You'd likely need to move your shock location while moving the axle back.

[@ravensdalerc]

@@turksandjerps ya cool thanks. I got the 12” WB one that’s about 1/2” thick. Thought yours was about the same thickness. Either way, taking a pull saw to it tonight😬

[@johnleonguerrero5121]

how much will you sell that C10 body?

[@hcmaclub5905]

Been trying to find a truck body like this for gen8 but the wheelbase is always too short. Any ideas if this will work on a gen8 or scx10 ?

[@turksandjerps]

With the Blazer converted to the short bed pickup like I did it would fit those. The Blazer would be too short but you can easily shorten the links on those trucks to accommodate.

[@jimmyravello8148]

What would you reccomend to bond a hardbody?ill be bobbing a mojave and ive heard and seen many things being used

[@turksandjerps]

Styrene and ABS are best with solvents that weld the materials. I use MEK substitute. There are hobby specific ones like Bondene or Same Stuff. I would not recommend glue.

[@sampeer3373]

At about 3:15 what are you spraying on🤔

[@turksandjerps]

Accelerator for the super glue

[@scottyrcworld8683]

Do you sale this kit man ?

[@turksandjerps]

No I do not Mod19RC does

[@danieljackson487]

Did you just use hardening cream?

[@turksandjerps]

No, glazing putty

[@damondiego3590]

What glue did you use?

[@turksandjerps]

CA

[@Pedar01]

So what’s the wheelbase after this modification still 11.3?

[@turksandjerps]

12.3

[@Xj.jeeper]

What glue are you using?

[@turksandjerps]

Cyanoacrylate. Also known as CA or simply, super glue.

[@Xj.jeeper]

Thank you.

Hi I'm very interested in purchasing these pieces from you. If you would like to sell some please contact me.thanks

How much?

How much what?

[@rcmike09]

It hurt me when you just eye balled the tape and didnt measure anything. I have to measure everything!!!
