Re: "Baby" - My 79 Blazer Project

O.K. as you have noticed with work and all the other stuff in my life I am a little slow with progress.
Last night I finally got a lot of work done.
I am going overboard and I have disassembled everything and have been cleaning it all and replacing almost everything with new parts. (minus steering, tie rods etc.)
It just makes me more comfortable.

Today I have the A arms at work and will be blasting them to bare metal so I can repaint them.
I had to make my own ball joint extractor. I bought one because of the amount of work I do but turns out it did not fit my application.
I have a great trick now if anyone is interested that is 1/10 the cost of a standard ball joint service kit.
Cost me 9 bucks for a large C clamp and a little cutting and welding.

I will get the arms blasted today, painted tonight and get the bastard back together!!!
