Re: Project: Blue Devil 89 K5 Blazer

Well here come the pictures.

As I mentioned the guy really did a number on the floor.







He tried telling me that this is a "race car style access panel." I think it is one of the worst hack jobs I have ever seen, and wonder what would possess anyone to do such a thing.

Luckily, anyone remember this truck?



I was smart when I parted it out, and saved the front part of the cab so id have the floor to weld in.



And to do just that I got this puppy right here...



A Millermatic 212 MIG, I love this thing BTW!



I also finally got my old Saylor Beal Air compressor going. Man this puppy can pump some air. The pressure switch pumps up to 195 PSI then cuts off. It runs the die grinder like a champ!

Siting next to it you can see my Miller Syncrowave 200 TIG

And last but not least, here is the engine I picked up for the blazer, going to get it all cleaned up and stuffed in the Blazer once the floor is all fixed. Luckily I now have everything on hand I need save for a couple of gaskets and some engine paint. I think it is going to turn back into a good little rig for me. Just going to take some serious cleaning up.
