Haha no. As a matter of fact, I've been so busy at work, that I haven't touched the Blazer in months. I hope to slow down some this summer and get back at it.

Re: Project 6 Point Oh

Been a while since I posted. I got the fuel lines buttoned up. I test fit the high mount A/C brackets, and afterwards painted with POR15 and reinstalled.

Re: Project 6 Point Oh

I thought that I'd take the front shaft to the local drive shaft shop and have them rebuild the cardan joint, and while they were at it, I thought that I'd have them replace all the u joints in both shafts to save me the trouble. Well, I explained to them if they'd clean them up real good and put a nice paint job on them, I'd let them do it all and not just the cardan joint. I made it clear that these were going on a very nice restoration. Well, I couldn't believe my eyes, they didn't even take off all the grease/dirt before balancing or painting. I should have done it myself, because I had to re do their crap work.

Re: Project 6 Point Oh

So I finally bought me a tig welder and a Stainless Works 2.5" "builders" exhaust kit. It's 304 stainless and has straights, 90's, 45's etc. I'm still learning to tig, so don't be too harsh on my welds lol. Also bought some Borla Pro XS mufflers.
