Re: Project 50th C5 Blazer

It's Home!

Livrat and his friend Andy loaded the Blazer last night preparing to make the run south to my place today. At first I wasn't sure it would happen as I got some snow and ice last night and things looked pretty ugly this morning, but it warmed up and turned out to be a nice afternoon. I took off at lunch to run up and meet them and get things unloaded.

Once we got it rolled off the trailer and into the shop, he showed me all the bits and pieces he brought along.

We swapped on my Rallye's only to find the 255/50 15 Toyo's are to wide in the rear and hit the wheel wells. So I guess I have a couple of options, I can have the backspace changed, or get different rims with the proper backspace. I am going to think about this one for awhile as I have plenty of time before it ready for that.

In the front as has been mentioned by more than a couple of threads the 15in. rims rub the A-arms thanks to the drop spindles.. Rats! We aired it out anyway to get a look, and I really like it alot.

All in all, I think this things looks Sweet!!!

Also, the 454 and assorted extras are here. Since I have not had a big block in many years, I am going back to research mode on what I want to do with it.

I took some pictures but left the camera in the shop, so I guess I'll have to post them tonight.
