One quick tip, thought. Eventually one day you are going to get caught in the rain. I guarantee you. What you should do is make a little tub for the amps to sit in. Or put a 1/8 spacer underr them so they arent on the ground... A very small amount of water will hurt those things...

I put some 1/4 inch rubber grommets underneath the amps before I bolted them down.

You driving it to the show?

no, I'm going to trailer it to Newport. Ron 586 has an enclosed that he's going to let me borrow. I'd like to drive it, but just don't have enough miles on it to trust it yet. In fact the brand new Dolphin electronic speedometer says 1 mile

**Palf70Step** · 04-17-2009, 05:13 PM

I'm glad it will at least be there Bryan. Can't wait to drool on it.

5150 · 04-17-2009, 05:16 PM

I've made a few upgrades of my own(scratches), so it's not that nice anymore

. Anybody that truly knows me knows that I'll (fill in blank) it up the longer I tinker with it.

I got a real nice big one on the dash. I'm thinking of leaving it there just as a reminder of my dumbarse. It'll be a conversation piece.

**Palf70Step** · 04-17-2009, 05:50 PM

You are still way ahead of me Bryan. You have done 2 and I haven't finished my one yet!

VA72C10 · 04-17-2009, 06:02 PM

I look forward to seeing it there and meeting the owner who likes to scratch it up...

sson20s · 04-17-2009, 07:02 PM

I did think about the pinstriping. I have a buddy that's pretty good at it.

5150 · 04-29-2009, 07:39 PM

Got the pinstripping done today. A gentlemen by the name of Rick Harris, who Jason recommended, came by and did the blazer. He was very price friendly and did an awesome job.

Rick learned from a guy names Shaky Jake, who Von Dutch taught to pinstripe.

hotrodhomi · 04-29-2009, 07:45 PM

got any full shots of the tailgate?

**Palf70Step** · 04-29-2009, 07:54 PM

Nice Bryan!!!!

cttandy · 04-29-2009, 09:00 PM

Hey, I heard I missed you at the shop the other day.

Those stripes look awesome. The name Rick Harris sounds very familiar.

VA72C10 · 04-30-2009, 12:17 AM

Did you stripe up the scratch?

Riveted1 · 04-30-2009, 12:55 AM

I was wondering the same thing....

We need some full body pics now that you have it pinstriped. Looks sick BTW!

wwhijr · 05-02-2009, 04:40 PM

Very nice. Maybe I can get a up close look when I come in to TN in a while.

5150 · 05-02-2009, 09:48 PM

Here you go guys. We took it to the Chevy/GMC Truckin' Nats in Newport, TN this weekend. I took first place in the "unfinished" category. Not sure how that happened. It's not unfinished. The only thing I have to do is build my console. The rest of the board members there made the joke that it's probably because it's a flat color and they thought it was primer.

Also took "Best Engineered" which I am most proud of.

You better hurry up...he's already scratched it with a dremel, dropped it off the jack stands, and ran into a truck with it...if you wait too long it'll be totalled

J/K Bryan...congrats on the awards....the blazer is awesome!

That's something I can help you with......
