Hoping there are no clearance issues. I may have to cut a little more out of the side to make sure. There needs to be about 1.5 inches of clearance on each side.

Cool build. Im looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
I love the new choice in wheels. I had a very similar problem with billet specialties but I was so frustrated I gave up on billet wheels all together!

Trying to figure out how to get this 90 degree hydroboost set up correctly. Seems to be off center and probably needs to have the arm cut and welded in a new position. Anyone got pics??

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
There's an old build thread that has one installed, but it will take me some time to dig it out. In the meantime here is the thread where Scott's showed an install after they made them available for sale:

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
I have noticed that alot of Guy's are going the Hydraboost direction.
(I'm NOT telling anyone how to build their rig) but in my personal experience I had a Hdraboost system go out while driving and you not only lose you Brakes but your Steering as well at the same time! It was the scariest thing I've had happen in along time. JMO Guys! I wouldn't want to see anyone get hurt or worse. Mark... |
Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Also, I've been told that hydroboost can be noisy. I'm not sure if that's normal operation or if that's when there's a problem.
|
Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Looking good! I hope you get the hydroboost mount figured out. I love how mine operate on my truck and GTO. They stop about as well as a new car.

So you aren't scared off by Mark's experience I'll tell you what I know of the systems. I understand that when they fail, you would lose steering and brakes, but it's not a complete loss of either system. It's just like if your power steering pump goes out, you still have steering, it's just harder to do. It would be the same for the brakes. You can still stop and steer, it just takes more effort. If you break a line and lose all fluid, you would simply have a dry pump and no hydraulic assist. The manual connection is still there. If your brakes fail, you always have an e-brake (unless you removed it). Quote:
Again, I'm not an expert and I don't claim to be. I've only had the experience of the two systems on my vehicles. |

Well, this is kind of what I am thinking. Maybe a little darker blue than pictured but the rest is pretty close.

It might just work. The 55 Bel Air dash is much shorter than a Blazer dash, buy hey, we do this for the love of PITA.

It's just metal work... You obviously love doing metal work :lol:
It'll look good when you're done with it. I like the rendering too. Keep it up! |

The rendering is sick and love the idea of the 57 dash.

Where will you tank and compressors go? I'm trying to figure out where I can fit them on my Blazer.

This thing looks awesome!! I am really happy with my last minute color choices that I made with the powdercoat.
Attachment 1639322 Yes, those are LEDs in the frame for a little accent lighting. A throwback to Slick67. Attachment 1639323 Attachment 1639324 |
