Ok well i got both doors hung and one fender off the core support. I need 2 go by shims today for the fenders and then I will line them up and check out the hood fitment. this engine has been dropped and shoved back and still sits way up. I now understand fully the term shoehorned

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

:metal:Here the look i was aiming for, I still need to align all the sheet metal more.I had to fit the the fiberglass hood and trim it up alittle.I am still aways off from painting the outside of the body but its looking good.

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

very nice!!!!

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

are you staying with those wheels or are you planning on going alittle wider

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

Still diggin' this project!

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

Yeah those are the biggest drag radial MT makes and I have seen people running low 8 sec passes on them.I can clear about 6 more inches if I need slick

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

it looks like its tucked up in there alot what are the specs on the rearend

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

how tall is that cowl hood and where did you get it?

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

Ok the rearend is a narrowed 9inch from art morrison, the rims are 15x10 and those tires are 315/60/15. I can fit up to 20 inch wide tire,and a max of 33 tall. the tires measure 13.5 wide and 29.5 tall, so there is alot of rubber under there. As for the cowl hood its a bolt on 4.5 from unlimited products fiberglass

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

Here is an old pic from the bed tubbing and yesterday looking at the rear end pic for you. I like how my tires are tucked in and will only go witha bigger tire for traction at the track.

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

i have the 275 60r15 et street radials on mine i like them

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

how good is the fit on the hood? and do you have any pics of the view looking through the windshield as if you were sitting in the driver seat?

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

^^^Bump

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

Great build.... I would love to build a blazer

more drag blazer pics
 

So its slowed down alittle and the snow is almost down here in Alaska. Im about a month away from hearing this thing run. I just installed the ron davis radiator and made my #20 an hoses. I think it looks sick. Hopefully i will being putting this down the track in spring. :metal:

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

WOW thats a sweet build. Someday I hope my little engine grows into a big block. Keep it up.

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

Looking good. Rad hose really fits the Prostreet/dragrace look of the truck.

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

Looks great man! What kind of headers are you running for that big motor?

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

The headers are hooker super comp 2 primaries and 3 1/2 collectors. top of the frame rail had 2 be trimmed alittle due 2 engine setback and lowering into the chassis. I just had the truck painted and it was done yesterday. Its now all ppg black and looks wet and smooth. I gotta give my body man props he went the extra mile and kept the bill down. I cant wait 2 post some pics on the 12th when i get home. You guys will really like this beast . Happy holidays and may this new year bring us all further on our projects and happiness in life. 2010 here we go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

the unlimited products bolt on fiberglass 4 inch cowl was a piece of expensive crap and needed about 10 hours of work and the fender edges had 2 built up with glass 1/2 inch 2 meet the hood. booooooooooooooooooooo on this product. ok i feel better now

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

Looking good :metal:

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

yeah basically any glass hood you get totally sucks how much did you pay for it

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

the hood cost 380 and shipping was 389 then the materials where about 50 and my time. although the latch and hinge section works well

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

Looking awesome!!

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

holy crap 389 bucks for shipping
i wonder how much it is in the lower 48 states
my hood from them is 465 thats why i dont have one
the price and because they suck

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

you guys in the lower 48 states have no idea how much it costs in shipping to build a rig up here in alaska. lol i have at least 8k in shipping last year. but its what we love 2 do right.

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

i think you need to move :D

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

ok boys here we go. this is the black and straightest truck i have ever owned and tommorrow i will show the top paint and installed. this is one slick paint job. My bodyman adam hooker is the **** and really put his touch on this one.
Thanks a ****in ton Adam ! it looks sick:metal:

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

dang i wanna see more pics

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

Dang!! I just found your build thread, and it looks fantastic. I am so glad to see more 2wd Blazer builds coming. Makes me so mad that I don't have mine farther along. Keep up the progress and the quality work!

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

Super slick. I wish I could afford your bodyman :lol:

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

Yeah my bodyman is great and takes pride in his work. He is also going to retire from full time body work after this project. Sad i know! hard to find good reputable bodyshops. here are a few more pics. the top is being painted as we speak and on friday i will install along with the tailgate. thanks 4 all the compliments

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

I wanna drive it! :metal:
Awesome!

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

Looks killer reminds me of brian mccormicks beastley blazer from truckin mag..

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

Paint looks amazing....DEEEEEP

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
 

Looks just bada$$.... All my hotrods/drag cars, and almost all of my personal cars have always been black, no other color looks better to me than black. Can you show and/or explain how your going to fasten your glove box/gauge cluster to the dash. I just love this idea. Im getting some custom gauges for my project and think I want to do this mod.
Thanks for sharing your build...

Re: Prostreet / Dragrace 1972 blazer
