Dirt in the shop is a good thing, means your making progress. This is the first time I didn't have to use a shovel to clean up. You should see mine, I was going to go out and clean up since I'm waiting on parts

Good luck $$$$$$$

Re: Got Rust?
 

Not much progress lately, but I did stop by my painter's place the other day and he was just finishing up a project that he has been on for 3 years, so I thought I would share some pics. This guy does some incredible work.

Beautiful!












:but: I'm still more interested in seeing pics of your project. :devil:

Re: Got Rust?
 

Yeah I know, but right now I'm trying to make some room and get rid of stuff. It's amazing how big these trucks are when you have the top, tub, engine and frame scattered all over the shop. :eek: Hopefully some progress this weekend.

Re: Got Rust?
 

OMG, that's beautiful!!

Re: Got Rust?
 

Ok Kurt, here you go. No forward progress lately, but I can't work in a trashed shop so this is what I did this weekend. I think I may have some time to get something done in a constructive way tomorrow.

I hope my garbage man isn't a Gen 1 Blazer fan, if so I may see some tears.

Re: Got Rust?
 

That is one stunning hot rod! :devil: Any more info? Was it built for a local customer? Despite being a Ford ;), I'm lovin' that Cobra lump with the three deuces and the nice, clean job on the instrument panel. I'm not that fond of the ultra-slick, techno-geek look that many builders are turning out these days. This one is just right. Thx for sharing the pics! :metal:

Re: Got Rust?
 

I don't know a lot about it because every time I stop by we either talk about my sons Corvette or my Blazer. The only things that I know are that most every piece on this thing was hand made, as far as brackets, seat frames, hood hinges(the hood opens from both sides), etc. I believe the owner is somewhat local, about an hour away, and I know he has over $200,000.00 into it. Don(the painter) is quite talented, much like several of our board members. I've been following this build for over a year and a half.

Re: Got Rust?
 

Most excellent progress!!

Those pics hit alot closer to home than seeing a sexy finished street rod. :devil:

Very inspirational, thanks.
Way more than I got done over the weekend by miles.

Re: Got Rust?
 

Thanks, I'm actually fired up to go out and work on it now...next step is to get the frame and axles ready to take to Media Blast, and then I will start to go forward with progress. I've got to get my butt into gear because there is a rumor of some of the board members stopping by this summer...heard anything about that?

Re: Got Rust?
 

Did you ever make it to AZ? Man I almost want to give you my K5 to save you from yourself. Here is the ebay add I have there are picts of the floors in there, check it out.

Re: Got Rust?
 

Yes we flew in for a long weekend, but didn't have any time to try and contact anyone. Beautiful state you have there, we plan on going back in the future.

Your Blazer is nice, if you decide to give it to to me let me know and I'll make arrangements. :lol: :lol:

Dang, you get all the free stuff. Maybe if he gives you the body, he'll give me the motor:lol::haha:

Re: Got Rust?
 

I'm sure there is just as good of a chance for you to get the motor as there is for me to get the body. As soon as I see the pigs flying, I'll let you know. :lol:

Re: Got Rust?
 

Looks like you are still making progress though - good work.

It will be nice to see another Blazer out on the road in this area (NW Ohio / SE Michigan) once you get that all buttoned back up.

Re: Got Rust?
 

Stop up to Tim's house end of summer.Rumor has it he's buying the beer:lol:

Plus I'd really like to see your truck in person, looks really good

Re: Got Rust?
 

I would love to - and I can bring my own beer if need be :)

The farthest I have been it the blazer is about 30 miles around the city of Toledo...no problems though...lots of honks, waves, etc.

Looks better in pix, but it has some good points and bad points...

It is Bouncy's old green blazer...now in Ohio.

Re: Got Rust?
 

You're all welcome to stop up any time. I always have beer on hand and most of the time I have enough for many people...just in case. ;)

Re: Got Rust?
 

Tim,
Are you going to have a MI cookout again this year?? We should hold the cookout one day, (let everyone get aquainted), then go to Silver Lake Sand Dunes the next day!!!! I wish I knew how to download video, I have my Jimmy on there breaking the front driveshaft on the bottom of Test Hill. OOPS!!!

Re: Got Rust?
 

If I don't get my 'driver' K5 done in time, I may have to trailer the blue one just so I can play in the sand.:devil:

Re: Got Rust?
 

That works for me...just don't forget your beer goggles! :b69: :alc:

Re: Got Rust?
 

Sounds like a good idea to me. I just need to finish instaling my new motor & I should be good to go.

Re: Got Rust?
 

Where are you at in West MI?? Were you at the dunes Labor Day weekend??

Re: Got Rust?
 

I'm in the Grand Rapids area. I was at the dunes Friday-Monday Labor day weekend. I stayed at the Yogi Bear camp ground, were you at that camp ground also? I remember seeing a Jimmy like yours there. I didn't have my Blazer there, just my truck. Here's a pic of it.

Re: Got Rust?
 

Holy cow!!!!!

Small world... I was at the Yogi Bear campground as well, Thurs. - Sun.
You should of came over and had a beer!!

I had my Raptor 700 out there too!!

We are going to have to organize a dune trip this year.
