Bagged & Bodied 79' 2wd Blazer Build
 
Got the Rails all welded in and was able to shave some of the humps and holes on the front clip. Not quite done with shaving everything but its getting there slowly. All the welds will be ground down as well. Next up after front clip is done will be either 4-link or workin on the stock arms to make em work till I can afford mmw arms.

I don't know if I wish I had your skills or not (that much more work on my own build if I did), but I am sure impressed. Keep up the grind in this AZ heat. It is demotivating for sure, but keep pressing on.

Thanks for the compliments on the fab work guys, it's great to hear, It really is... And yes the heat def is demotivating that's for sure but you just gotta get through it lol. Water and fans is a must.
