Re: "Project S" - My boy Sam's '72 2wd Blazer -The Red Sled
Yes I did. Got it home and drove it around a bit, looking at wheel and tire options now. I did buy Corvette style 8 & 10 inch ralleys for it but dont have them on yet. I pulled the engine to put a camshaft in that you can hear a tad bit, fix the oil leaks, and do some painting and found major troubles with the engine. The bottom timing gear key was about to shear, timing chain was wore out and 34% leakdown on the rings. That was the reason the oil pan was leaking so bad Im sure. I have got a replacement engine, 355, Eagle crank and H-beam rods, TRW forged flattop pistons, Thumper cam, Airgap intake, Coated headers, Hushpower mufflers in process of going back in. Im replacing the inner fender wells and battery tray, doing a major makeover on the engine compartment while I have it out.
I have to say Jerrett is a great guy to deal with. My timing was terrible on picking up the Blazer, I was setting in his driveway as he pulled in comming home from the hospital from his new baby being born. I felt terrible but we did the deal and we were both happy and on our way.. |

Yep, SMS sent me samples. I think I am gonna do black/ white houndstooth canvas material. SMS is sponsoring the forums C10 Tour and they are offering forum members 10% off I emailed Rick at slidingragtops.com a few weeks ago to see how much material I would need. When I talked to him on the phone last year he said they could make it with custom material. Posted via Mobile Device
