Attachment 608015 Painted my Tan Dash with some Dupli color gray. Used Bull Dog Primer to seal it.

Attachment 608016 Cragars I found.

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
 

Attachment 608243 Used some spackle paint on the tank, and bought some Eastwood Tank Sealer.

Attachment 608244 Putting the Interior back in order.
Attachment 608245 Gray paint

Attachment 608246I found a New dip stick for the TH-350. I was afraid I was gonna have to buy a Lokar Flex on. Auto Zone had it. Spectra. Nice thing about this one is the Tube Mount isn't welded on. You can bend it tightly on the tube and bolt it down. Little tight on the top handle near the fire wall. But nothing I can't get to.

Attachment 608247 The noodles

I need a few buddys and full day. Bust this sucker out. Soo close. Can't wait!

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
 

Got the Dash Finished. It painted up nice.
Attachment 608530

Auto Meter Phantom Gauges in the stock bezel. The Aluminum panel I fabbed up fit like a glove. Put the turn signal, hi-beam and check eng lights in. Might have to put a diode on the Blue Hi-beam. Man it bright!

The gauges look neat behind the Grant leather wheel.

Mounted the Monster Tach. Still have to wire that baby
Attachment 608532




Pumb the heater core and the fresh painted inner fenders. Routing the engine wires and started hooking them up. The engine bay sure got smaller with the fenders in there.
Attachment 608533
Building a mount for the Be Cool Radiator tonight. After that I should be ready to rock. :metal:

Justin

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
 

Coming along nice. I don't know why it did not occur to me that I could paint any dash to match my truck.

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
 

I just couldn't find a good gray dash to save mylife Damien. Bull Dog Surface primer is the key. Part stores carry it here.

The Radiator mount is Finished. Spent Sunday afternoon building it.

Only have $35 bucks in it. Think it turned out good. Most important, It dose it job.

Got the steering Column wired in. Gonna take a few days break. Too damn hot here. It hit 102 yesterday. That sucks in my Metal barn!

Maybe I can get the wiring finished next few days. It's time consuming work!

I forgot to post a picture of how it looks now after the Lowering was done.

2"Beltech drop spindles, Ground Force 3"drop coils, and the local Axle & Spring shop built me some new 3" drop springs. No de-arched used. New leafs. They did that for $180. Helps I know the owner well.

Now it looks better. Not so much like a 4X4 Damien! :lol:

Justin

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
 

Looks much better :metal:

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
 

Sounds awesome.

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
 

Thanks guys! been a long road!!

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
 

Just installed the exhaust.

The muffler shops around here didn't act like they wanted to fool with me. So I bought a 2 1/2" U-fit kit from Jeg's and a Pair of S/S 40Flowmasters.
It was a cut and fit thing!

Besides my ugly welds, I think it came out ok. Even though the Driver side was a the fickle, I was able to tuck the pipe enough to clear the ground and the stock trans cross member.

Justin

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
 

I'm LOVING' the sound of that cam! I'm thinking Fred needs one now....... :D

The exhaust looks great too! If it doesn't leak, it's all good!

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
 

Thanks Bob! Hey PM me. I lost your address. Still got that shippment for ya! :lol: I haven't forgot about you either. Been to hot to ship things, and been at home when I thought about it!


Fred would be nasty with any cam!:metal:

Justin

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
 

Sweet! I forgot about that myself! PM sent.

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
 

I've been away for awhile. I lost my Father the 2nd of Sept. And just have been taking care of my family.

Kinda put my project on the back burner.

But thing's are getting better.

I now have the ECM retuned for my cam. Night and day. Been driving "Ruby" quite a bit.


Justin

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
 

Sorry about your dad, I lost my mom 3 years ago and it has been the hardest thing I have ever done. But it dose get better.

And I love the sound of the blazer..:metal:
