Looking for build name?
 

Some of you may have been following along in my not so rust free Blazer. I ended up keeping it and am going for broke (no really I am going to be broke).
Anyone have any suggestions for a build name?

Due to disability I am having to pay for 90% of the work.

I purchased an LS3/4L70 GM connect and cruise package.

Here is how the Blazer looks today.

Frame, Tin Works trailing arm crossmember and engine stands, engine cradle and trailing arms are going out to be powder coated satin black. Not 100% sure if I will go to aftermarket upper and lower control arms or powder coat my stock ones. That can be done later. I want to drive it a bit and see how it drives?

Willwood brakes

As low in the rear with 2" drop blocks and whatever springs needed for no C notch, 2 inch front spindle drop and whatever coils will make it level.

Front and rear sway bars QA1?

Brakes booster will be a hydratech hydroboost. It was supposed to take 60 days and just found out today it will be at least another 3-4 weeks.

In the end this is the color I want (close to it) with hopefully a 1968 front clip (think I have one lined up, just need a core support) but have not seen it yet? without the chrome trim on the front.

Re: Looking for build name?
 

I have to admit some of those are extremely funny, but not a good name for the Blazer or build.

Thanks made me smile. I don't do that enough lately!

Re: Looking for build name?
 

If it is just the build name/ and not the Blazer name.

Rust for nothing & Alien's for free.

Re: Looking for build name?
 

How about this could go on forever, as in my build

Re: Looking for build name?
 

Build name and "maybe" Blazer name?

Rust wasn't free, about $25,000 and counting.

And I am easy but not cheap (or free).

Re: Looking for build name?
 

I don't know how you do it? Mine should be done in just over a year (famous last words).

How about 'Night and Day,just heard it on 50s on 5

That thing ought a be a rocket and stop on a dime

Re: Looking for build name?
 

Its definitely overkill!

Night and day sounds good, Hmmm. Really want something easy, 1 word.

Lazarus maybe changed to Blazeruss/BlazerSS?

I don't know. Its been progressing well. First real snag today. Gas tank sits too high with the Tanks Inc fuel pump assembly. And my factory LS3 exhaust manifolds didn't fit. The Holley/Hooker Blackheart manifolds look and fit nice.

Spend good money on a connect and cruise and you have to throw away the water pump, exhaust manifolds, and oil pan. They know these are going in swap vehicles why not let us order with the oil pan and front drive we want?

Re: Looking for build name?
 

I think you might have named it......Overkill

Re: Looking for build name?
 

Do you know how much of a pain it is to safety wire bolts down in a valley? Not as neat as I would have liked and my OCD is killing me with the one set that I installed backwards. It is functional and nobody will see it. I still have 1 to do.

Alienated !

Re: Looking for build name?
 

Just money

Re: Looking for build name?
 

How about the "I wish I'd kept my ochre Jimmy" build?

Re: Looking for build name?
 

I've said that a few times over the years. I always wanted a 2 wheel drive Blazer. I now have a 2 wheel drive Blazer. It will be exactly like I want it (for the most part). I can't take it with me?

Re: Looking for build name?
 

Build name is Embossed on your Headers!...

Re: Looking for build name?
 

No big progress news. He had to finish up a couple of smaller projects and I do not have a problem with that. Body and paint guy won't be ready for 3 months or so.

The underneath of the tub is getting coated. Its not really an undercoating but will look better than the old oily undercoating is there.

Then finish the brakes and install the tires and wheels. It "should be a roller with the body mounted back to the frame permanently by the end of the week? Hydroboost should be in on Wednesday.

After this week it will be wiring, driveshaft, gauges?

Kind of looks good in there?

Too tight. Better put the 350 back in there :)

Re: Looking for build name?
 

I sold it so I don't think I can do that.I guess I'll have to make it work. :lol:

Re: Looking for build name?
 

Tires are mounted. I wanted to see how they would look.

Re: Looking for build name?
 

For the name.... 'Rusty' would work for me & be a good segue into the origins of the name.

Nice stuff for the chassis. I see you went w/the QA1 front arms/suspension & rear set-up. RedHead steering box. The TinWorks LS swap items & x-members. Holley Mid-Mount accessory set-up.

Not quite a year later & very nice foundation.

Re: Looking for build name?
 

Thanks, the decision making process has been interesting to say the least. I did originally want to go with just springs, shocks and a mild lowering job. But I did want to go with decent brakes. Since I’m paying for labor I couldn’t see paying money to clean up old parts and doing some of the work twice so I ended up just going for broke. I am happy with the way the parts are fitting and things are coming together. We’ve only run into a couple of small issues and we are working them out now. Hoping to hear it run sometime this month. It should be able to move and stop under its own power at that time?
