I thought the blazer was gonna whip me for a while but I think I'm gonna win the battle.It took 2 tubs,1 truck cab floor and I sacrificed my perfect swb bed floor but the rust is gone.

Re: I'm falling in love with my blazer again!
 
Well since we have no new pics I have to keep looking at the old one's. I was looking at the first one again and I have a few questions for ya.
1) What rear end are you running? I like the amount if rim lip you are able to have on this set up.

2) How long is your trailer because that blazer is bairly on that thing in the back?

3) With as high as the trailer fenders are and how low the Blazer is it looks like the doors won't open so how do you get in and out of that when it is on the trailer?

Answers to question 1 would be good, 2 on ly if you want and 3 is what you will be getting until we get more pics:lol:

OK Rok, #1 the rearend is the factory 2wd blazer rear.

#2 my trailer is 20' but I have the blazer pulled to the back because it was easy to work on the 1/4's. I'm kinda using the trailer as my work bench.

#3The doors won't open on trailer when the blazer is aired out.

Hey Chris, I decided to go for it and try to get it built (even without a shop)I went on a cutting spree and when it was over the rust was gone.It's really coming out nice though. Later, O yea don't forget about Pate swap meet.
