Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build

I've been welding my ass off, and not much to show for it other than 3 empty TIG tanks in the past month or so. Grind, prep, weld, repeat. My garage is destroyed right now with grinding dust everywhere.

Everytime I thought I was done with the frame...I'd think of something else I forgot....but at least now everything is welded up.









Got the coilover mounts all burned in, and fabbed up a panhard rod mount.





The valvecovers also made their way back from the powdercoater.



I forgot how much I hate painting. I would rather weld for an additional 10 nights, than to have to paint an additional night. Anyway, it's done. Sprayed it a gloss black urethane with an HVLP gun. Made a big ass mess, but the finished result looks pretty awesome.
