Back in 2019 we told you about
We were impressed by Flat Out’s workmanship, beautifully blending the lines of the Blazer
At least one new owner was so impressed that they recently purchased four identical Blazer conversions at once. The quadruplets were all finished in blue with a white roof and all based on brand-new 2020 Tahoes.
Obviously, with such demand it was only natural for Flat Out to explore other options. On Facebook
The Jimmy conversion uses the original’s quad-headlight face, crosshair grille and GMC badging. Like the Blazer conversion, it adds chrome bumpers and milled door handles while adapting the original’s 2-door design to the new truck’s 4-door body. The rendering only shows the front three-quarter view, but presumably a new carbon fiber rear door would have to be created as the Blazer’s says “Chevrolet” across the back.
Flat Out says that all the modern conveniences found on the donor Tahoe will work on the conversion, including parking, blind spot and lane keeping sensors. If you have the coin, it’s a great way to have retro style without giving up modern safety and performance.
The new Blazer has been disappointing to many fans that had hoped for a Bronco-like SUV. Instead, GM gave us a crossover. The Flat Out conversions might be a good compromise, and expanding it to the GMC brand only makes sense. Obviously there’s no requirement to use a GMC Yukon
