Hey "the kidd" I see you have a 65 Impala as well, so maybe you know maybe you don't but a word of advice. Don't make the same mistake I did. I completely tore my 72 2wd blazer to the ground. I meant STRIPPED!!! I can't enjoy mine anymore and haven't driven it in 10 years. Be patient and make any mechanical modifications now while you drive it. Get it all lined out and body panels aligned and such and then take it apart and paint it and then put it right back together. I mean even do the body work as permitted as you drive it. I wish.....I would have done that with mine. I think I would have been done a lot sooner. And, I have been restoring cars and such for 18 years of my young adult life. Just my .02 cents.
