vtblazer · 08-15-2005, 05:27 AM

Oh, how sweet it is!

Nice that you get a longer 'blazer season' than we do up here, I'm already planning for winter hibernation.

Fantastic work, restored nothin', it's NEW!

**BigRand** · 08-15-2005, 08:04 AM

Very Nice.

Huck · 08-15-2005, 08:13 AM

Just a suggestion, you might want to pull that front bumper before you attempt to put the new grill on. Will make installation a whole lot easier. Looks fantastic!!!

Planned on it, just checking the fit and wanted to see how it looked.

**Tom Vogel** · 08-15-2005, 10:24 AM

That IS beutiful! Now you need to start looking for one for her. Thats how I got started building these trucks. First I built a shortbed for my daughter; and then I got a two wheel drive for my son. The wife is a whole lot more understanding about procurments when its for the kids... you know ;.)
