COOL

nuke1 · 03-27-2010, 01:03 AM

Looks amazing, sorry I have not checked in a bit, everytime I do , I am at work, finally did at home and I sure am glad I did, SAWEET!!!!! Looks great bud.

VA72C10 · 03-27-2010, 10:38 AM

Thanks man, I'm working on making it half as cool as HAVOC

VA72C10 · 03-31-2010, 12:39 AM

Made a little more progress on the longbed...hope to be starting back on the shortbed in a few weeks but plans are to go LOWER!!!

**Bowtie468** · 03-31-2010, 09:41 AM

everything looks Great !! Are you back working on the long bed ?

VA72C10 · 03-31-2010, 09:58 AM

Yeah, the shortbed is over at the shop and he's been super busy so I'm doing what I can on the Longbed back home. My crazy mind is thinking of the blazer project I really want to do now also....gotta get at least one of these finished to sell before I can think of that though.....

We can't all be as cool as James, but we can try!!! VA, your truck is outstanding!!!

VA72C10 · 04-19-2010, 01:14 AM

Thanks,

Well, any guess as to what I'm about to say?

Plans have changed..........again......

Sold the shortbed rolling frame. 4.5/6 Just wasn't low enough for me.

To make it more confusing I picked up a 71 blazer 4X4 that I am going to finish up and cruise in this summer. Not exactly low as it has a 2" spring lift and 33's

So the truck is on the backburner for now. Not sure if it will end up as a longbed or a shortbed....just depends on what kind of killer deal I find on a project or rolling frame that lays frame

Basically going to sell off everything other than the shaved cab, custom tailgate, and the accuair stuff. Going to finish the blazer, enjoy it, and then sell it and use that money to build a sweet shop truck that lays frame or close to it.

VA72C10 · 04-19-2010, 01:15 AM

I will start a separate build thread for the blazer sometime this week and will post a link to it here....

my67chevytruck · 04-19-2010, 07:49 AM

mcbassin · 04-19-2010, 08:08 AM

Thanks, I'm very happy so far. The blazer is nicer than I even first thought and he had a TON of really nice extra parts with it that I'm selling to recoupe some of the investment.

Me too

If I had unlimited funds I know exactly what I'd be doing

Just gotta work around that hurdle and figure out the best ways to accomplish my goals and sort out the "wants" and "needs" to come up with something that I'm happy with and that doesn't break the bank.

Plus, the more time I spend on this board, the cooler rides I see and the more Ideas I get.....

yes sir, I have a laser-like focus.

Actually, if I didn't post all my plans I wouldn't have to keep explaining myself....

note to self....stop posting plans in build thread

big_al_71 · 04-19-2010, 10:28 AM

You my friend have alot on your plate just like Rob.....

I am envious as I have nothing on mine

Bu I am searching

Slick67 · 05-17-2010, 11:05 PM

Wassup?!?!?! Have not visited in a while, need to catch up with all of your happenings. What???? No pics? I'm outta here.

Hope all is well!

oldblue1968chevy · 05-17-2010, 11:16 PM

he probably traded it again

Why dont you get something that already runs and drives while you work on a longer term project? Or is that possible to leave something alone 'aw i'll just do a disc job'. 'Well why not throw some bags on'. Never mind keep it up I love that blazer cant wait to see it done! Why dont you keep it again?

VA72C10 · 05-17-2010, 11:51 PM

everything but the cab is sold off this truck. And the cab might be sold....

Well, actually there are still a ton of nice parts for my future build like the accuair stuff, all the motor dress-up stuff, shaved door and tailgate stuff, etc. left over as well.

I am going to finish the blazer and see what happens with that. I have been looking for a nice driver for a while now. I'm being picky looking for a great deal since it's a want, not a need at this point.

My eventual plans (for now

) are for a bagged truck that will double as a show truck and a useful hauler when needed. Want to do an LSX of some sort.
