Last night I started working on getting the engine sorted out. Took the 305 off the stand and got the 350 on it. Than I took the goodies off the 305 and mocked them up on the 350.

So its only been about five years but i finally started working on the Blazer again. It took a while to get the fenders off because i guess the last person to assemble it welded the fender to the lower tabs. Both studs looked like they were rusted off so I guess that explains why.

Good luck with the rebuild.

Re: Kool_K5's Blazer Build Thread
 

looks like there might be some spare parts laying under it

Re: Kool_K5's Blazer Build Thread
 

@ BobbyK - That's the plan on keeping the steelies, but I have to find a matching set of caps for the other side.

@ oldschool18 - Unfortunately over the years its kinda became the scrap metal spot LoL.

Re: Kool_K5's Blazer Build Thread
 

Turn that scrap in and get yourself some new parts........keep up the progress
