Re: 79' 2wd blazer
Fab work looks great! Hard earned tip, if I may: Take those Blue Monroes back and get the Sensatracs for the same application. Night and day difference on just our mildly lowered static truck. A few more bucks but WAAAAAY worth it.

Re: 79' 2wd blazer
this is going to look awesome.

Re: 79' 2wd blazer
Thanks guys. Good to know people are still watching the build come together
|
Re: 79' 2wd blazer
Are you setting them up so the pinch welds and frame touch together? I don't guess I've seen this done yet.
|
Re: 79' 2wd blazer
Yea pinch and bottom of frame will be even with each other
|
Re: 79' 2wd blazer
Got the front mounts all tacked in and moved to position #2 mounts. Found out the stock ones were to short so I had to make some. Got them in place and tacked them up as well. Next up I'll finish z'ing the rear of frame and do the most rear mounts. Here's some pics of the mounts I made and tacked in

Re: 79' 2wd blazer
Decided to get rid of the stock core support mounts and make some for a better look. Mine were uneven anyways thinking the blazer was in a accident at some point so I had to move one up anyways. Haven't got them done yet but got them cut out with the plasma today so I thought I'd show the progress of that. Will make the bends later this week and mount them.
Stock ones cut off http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/y...psphgftn0j.jpg http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/y...pscvbhhlfp.jpg http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/y...pstg0ysgc6.jpg |
