Mosly Kevin because I'm a cheapa$$. I'm going with 2 inch drop coils on the front w/drop spindles. Bags in the rear. No tank or compressor. BIG sway bar up front. All new suspension parts, nothing special.

You might call your self a cheapa$$, but you will be a cheapa$$ with one nice roadster!

Went back by today. A little more progress, but not too much

5150 · 11-18-2007, 02:29 PM

went back by the shop yesterday. The machine that I have up there messed up so I went back by. They said on Tuesday when I was there that they were putting some mud on it on Wednesday so here's the latest pics I got.

5150 · 11-18-2007, 02:30 PM

a few more and the motor I'm working on for it. Laying down paint on the motor today

earl87gta · 11-18-2007, 03:52 PM

Looking good Bryan

5150 · 11-22-2007, 08:39 PM

Got a lot done on the motor the last few days and it's almost ready. Not that i have a blazer to put it in, but I feel better and that's the point, right?

bouncytruck · 11-22-2007, 11:56 PM

Wow, the engine looks great. What's the plan with the door tops? Are you just going to use flat stock and cap them off?

5150 · 11-23-2007, 08:40 AM

Yes, they have some flat steel that they are going to put over them. and also the channel on the door frame where the vent window goes.

earl87gta · 11-23-2007, 09:14 AM

looks good all orange but where is the blue?

5150 · 11-23-2007, 11:43 AM

Decided to pass on that idea. Didn't think it would look too good. I guess I could go with the flat blue???

**Shock_Me** · 11-23-2007, 02:18 PM

I like that engine color. Is it flat Chevy orange?

Pete

5150 · 11-23-2007, 04:09 PM

yeah, it's just the 1200 degree stuff at O'Reilly's

tvblazer78 · 11-24-2007, 09:16 AM

Looking better each day. So what is the time line for the blazer to be back?

5150 · 11-24-2007, 12:09 PM

Don't really know. Everytime I go up that way there is more done, but no timetable. I'll be heading back up there again this Tuesday.

5150 · 11-29-2007, 07:17 PM

Okay, went by today to see what they got done. Not too much. Did cap the driver's door and you can tell what it will look like

**Yukon Jack** · 11-30-2007, 10:13 AM

I really like the way the top of the door is turning out. Very cool project.

meathead95 · 11-30-2007, 12:13 PM

what are you doing with the dash?

5150 · 11-30-2007, 04:58 PM

keeping it stock, nothing special. I'm going to put on a radio delete and install the stereo in the A/C hole.

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-30-2007, 05:00 PM

Looking good (Should have never sold it so cheap)

5150 · 11-30-2007, 05:17 PM

Have I thanked you yet?

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-30-2007, 05:38 PM

Not enough
