Re: 1969 Blazer...To be my daily driver

Looks GREAT 29od1, Thank you! I can't wait to see them in the Blazer. 29od1 had fabbed the 2008 2nd row captain seat brackets previously, he was kind enough to help me out and let me hire him to fab mine.

I pulled my old motor last week and put the crate engine in but couldn't get it to fire, bought a new dizzy yesterday... the fix she needed! Cam is broken in and running great.

I did a very quick once over on the engine compartment before, rerouted some wires, taped them up, new hoses and grommets, etc. I used some cleaner/degreaser and several cans of the low gloss black (satin) dupli-color engine paint. Looks good, not a show truck, but a good looking driver/off-roader.

I am sanding the bed/cab then I am spraying Al's liner today/tomorrow... My Brother pulled the seat out of his Jimmy so I can finish the break in and take it to get the cage built.

Couple of friends helping me with the pull:






I will take some after pics of the engine today and post them tonight.
