Nice. I am completely jealous! I want a Blazer now. The interior is super clean and the engine looks immaculate. PM me what brand the headers are and the price tag on em!

Man let me tell you I am going to hate to see this thread end. Now I have to find another blazer thread to drool over. That thing looks awesome. It really does. Thanks for the detailed pics and descriptions of what was done. So what is on Tap next?

...also cleaned up the shift boot...it was a little dirty compared to the ring I polished up for it...

Tonight was frustrating with not having the hardware I needed for the top. Finally found some of the bolts but will have to buy some others tomorrow. Got the courtesy lights all hooked up. All lights now working. Jason was able to do a safety check and checked the timing and all fluids. (He's now a certified state inspector too)
Wanted to take a test drive but not with a loose top. Will hopefully bolt it on tomorrow night and make it to a local cruise-in.

Paint is going to be wet sanded and buffed Sunday morning by the paint guy and his top assistant. Can't wait to see it all buffed up to a shine!!!

Here's pictures showing the bezels on the lights and the trim rings and center caps I was also able to install with Jason's help on the rings that were kicking my butt ;) . Did I ever mention it has the Warn Gold locking hubs :metal:

What did you use on the boot? Looks great- dunno how I missed this 'build' :chevy:

Very nice. What size tires and lift is that?

Well done Va., missed the build, but went back and read the whole thing...good read, and thanks for sharing

Actually just soapy water then some of the low sheen armor all. Think I did it three times (armor all) until I was happy with a deeper black look to the boot....



33's can't remember the exact size unless I posted somewhere in the build. It was a 2" front / 4" rear lift. Since the blazers are lower from the factory in the rear it levels it out perfectly.

Thanks, it was a fun build since most of the dirty work was already completed....although I really do like tearing down these trucks....
I was happy with how it turned out and got a TON of great comments on my few test drives with it. I REALLY loved the Blazer with the top off. Definitely want to have a 2wd version some day that's a full time roadster (no top)
