Sounds like a question that could be better addressed by sending the poster a pm as opposed to asking here in this thread.


Not picking, just trying to expediate an answer for ya. ;)

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

Nothing huge to report other than finally getting the bed cleared out so I can continue on with the Lizard Skin liner & paint.

I was however pretty amazed (PO'd is closer to reality) about how much 'stuff' I had aquired over these last few months back there. :thud:

Pic for proof.

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

I am amazed every time I go to look for something that I bought to do my projects and then I have to wonder what stash pile I put it in - usually I pick the wrong one first...:lol:

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

Thankyou, still trying to figure out the best way to go about everything here. By the way, love the look you got with the lizard skin. Definitely going to consider that route now.

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

For some reason kurt I had thought you sold this project?

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

Nope, between all of them I had, it boilded down to keeping this one.

Now it's just finding the time & the funds to finish it.

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

You got 6 months buddy! :sumo: Get-R-Done! :metal:
:mm::chevy::mm:

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

I felt like I had completed a huge project this last clean up, lol. Can't wait to see it all neat and pretty.

You leavin' the factory filler in this one or gettin' crazy? That Hummer filler we looked at a long time ago would look killer if your stickin' with the Hummer wheels.

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

:agree: it would look great, gotta go back and do some research about finding one now...

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

:agree: That would look cool...good call Big J. :metal:

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

How's the progress? Always love your K-5's. Still sad the see the blue one gone. It was my favorite.

Re: Project: Agent Orange

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

Change of life plans have happened...

I'm currently striving to raise capitol for a new business venture, so project Agent Orange is being offered up for sale.
(check the classifieds for further details)

If the funds come in from other avenues, it won't be sold...to much blood/sweat & tears into this one but if not, what needs to happen will.

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

Good Luck! Hope you get to keep it! :metal:

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

x2. I always enjoy reading what you are working on VT.

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

Happy to report the blazer still resides in my shop! :metal:


Thanks for the support, looks like it paid off.


Appreciate that, thanks.


GOOD NEWS!!
Unburied the blazer Sunday, drilled the frame for the engine cross member's new 1" forward location and installed the enging/drivetrain again to check fit, placement & what I wanted to do for the tranny/t-case mounting set up.
(decided I didn't like nor want to use the stock cross member)
The tall 241 mount was unnecessary IMO, so I pulled out the 241 and changed it back to the stock one. (a lot shorter)
Plans right now are to fab up a 1" DOM version that will barely hang below the frame rails.

Took an air hammer to the floor while it was open to clearance it for the clocked up 241, worked good and provided and nice rounded hump that will never be noticed under the passengers seat.

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

Sweet, progress is good.

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

:wop:

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaa :metal:
:mm::chevy::mm:

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

Got to say it-good to have ya back VT!

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

Bet it feels good to be back at it:metal:
Keep it up:5150:

So how did the lizard skin hold up to you taking a air hammer to the bottom of the floor?

Re: Project: Agent Orange
 

'puter is currently unhappy, will post em up when it's better.

I hear ya Burt. :chevy:

Thanks, good to hear.

No bad all & all, the paint cracked but it looks like the liner did okay.
Not a big concern IMO, when I do the rear section it'll get cleaned taken care of.
Still intend on doing a matt finish clear on the floors, so a little touch up won't be a big deal.



* Next step is to find a place to buy bushings so I can finish up the rear x-members, then I'll put my attention to the rear bed area.

Have a lot of frame clean up to do still also, all the mounts that aren't needed will be getting stripped off. (yea - more rivets to remove)
Shock mounts, tranny linkage mounts...ect.
