RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

In 2 days I will follow down that road of many others here
and take a Perfect(ly) good Blazer and destroy it. She had
been for sale for a lil over a year with no reasonable bites.
I could just sink more $ into "Merlot" but I think having the
Flawless CA body already here makes a lot more sense. We
have big, big plans this weekend and there are sure to be
a few pictures taken. I will try to start a build thread post
as soon as I get further, already having some stuff Powder
Coated as I type and the future plans for what will now be
called "YFTSB". More details to come and some insight as
to what I am doing can be found in the named siggy linky.

I know some who read this will probably enjoy this smiley.

:waah:

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

I think it's the best direction. Did you sell Merlot or the rolling chassis?

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

Simple...

Build it your way. :cool:

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

Cool, another build thread...can't wait, I'm subscribed. Gotta agree that body did look really nice

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

Definitely going to subscribe to this build... can't wait!

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

Hey LUV.... quick questions. I checked out your CD page on YFTSB, and noticed you're going tublar with static pieces. Is there a benefit to running tublar pieces up front vs. running stock?

Don't mean to hijack or change the subject...

Back to the new project at hand!!! :D

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

I wanna go that way in case I ever change my mind about
bags. (Right now I am not interested) It seemed that down
the road converting would be easier. Also the direction I'm
going with this I can do the road course at the GG shows.
(Some say the tubular is stronger, but that is debatable)

Some would say it's $ wasted, but hey it is MY MONEY :D

and

Bouncy, the answers to your ?'s are NO & of course NO, lol

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

I wasn't sure if there was a plus to running them vs. stock with a static setup or not.

Thanks for the info LUV, best of luck!

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

I still prefer a 4x4 over a 2wd, but I do look forward to another cool build thread. I'm subscribed.

R.I.P. GQ. :whine:

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

lol, Yeh a local company just started doing it. They charged me
$135 for the rear end housing and that included the blasting. It
was like $500 for the frame I think, and they have a frame dolly.

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

Are you still looking for that upper grille pc. for the '67 front end??

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

Yes, I need 2 though, my headlights have turn signals in them :D

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

Sounds like a good project to me.

One day when I finish my Dad's truck that I am building - I will start my hunt for a 2wd again or even a chassis to work with...

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

:smoke:Well, I've got a top one for ya, the bottom has turn signal mounts as you well know...just lmk

Got any pics of the headlts, sounds interesting

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

PM me what you want for it, My zip is 38313 (H) or to 38301 (B)

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

Nothing, or this would turn into a WTB thread...LOL, let me see what shipping is. OK for cardboard or do you want 1/4" plywood?

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

lol, Uhm I wonder if it would make it here alive in cardboard?

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

That's what I'm thinkin', I've had stuff come across the country alive in ply, but the added wt.?

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

Problem is finding something for it to fit in, it's like 4' + right?

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

I'll just build it

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
 

Build it ...and they will come. :lol: :lol:

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Re: RIP - 1972 4wd CST Blazer (aka "GQ")
