The Blazer rides on Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tires, while stopping power is provided by 15-inch front and 14-inch rear rotors clamped by 6-piston Baer calipers.<\/p>\n<p>The exterior preserves most of the factory styling, but with some subtle updates. Carbon-fiber fender flares make room for the massive tires, and the hood is made from the lightweight material as well. The Blazer is painted in a shade called Bashful Blue.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\" readability=\"7\"><img decoding=\"async\" name=\"tccimg_100862893_m\" title=\"Ringbrothers Bully 1972 Chevrolet Blazer\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD\/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=\" alt=\"Ringbrothers Bully 1972 Chevrolet Blazer\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" data-width=\"1024\" data-height=\"682\" data-url=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/ringbrothers-bully-1972-chevrolet-blazer_100862893_l.jpg\" data-src-h=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/hug\/ringbrothers-bully-1972-chevrolet-blazer_100862893_h.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/ringbrothers-bully-1972-chevrolet-blazer_100862893_l.jpg\" data-src-l=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/ringbrothers-bully-1972-chevrolet-blazer_100862893_l.jpg\" data-src-m=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/med\/ringbrothers-bully-1972-chevrolet-blazer_100862893_m.jpg\" data-src-s=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/sml\/ringbrothers-bully-1972-chevrolet-blazer_100862893_s.jpg\" class=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Ringbrothers Bully 1972 Chevrolet Blazer<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The interior was based on a &#8220;floating&#8221; theme, with a dashboard composed of three individual pods and seats upholstered in a way that makes them look a bit like lawn chairs.
