Looking good. Rad hose really fits the Prostreet/dragrace look of the truck.

Looks great man! What kind of headers are you running for that big motor?

The headers are hooker super comp 2 primaries and 3 1/2 collectors. top of the frame rail had 2 be trimmed alittle due 2 engine setback and lowering into the chassis. I just had the truck painted and it was done yesterday. Its now all ppg black and looks wet and smooth. I gotta give my body man props he went the extra mile and kept the bill down. I cant wait 2 post some pics on the 12th when i get home. You guys will really like this beast . Happy holidays and may this new year bring us all further on our projects and happiness in life. 2010 here we go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the unlimited products bolt on fiberglass 4 inch cowl was a piece of expensive crap and needed about 10 hours of work and the fender edges had 2 built up with glass 1/2 inch 2 meet the hood. booooooooooooooooooooo on this product. ok i feel better now

yeah basically any glass hood you get totally sucks how much did you pay for it

AKoldstyle 01-03-2010 03:10 AM

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 
the hood cost 380 and shipping was 389 then the materials where about 50 and my time. although the latch and hinge section works well

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer

Dang!! I just found your build thread, and it looks fantastic. I am so glad to see more 2wd Blazer builds coming. Makes me so mad that I don't have mine farther along. Keep up the progress and the quality work!
