That little detail took hours to make it turn out right. I do think it was worth it in the end.

Definitely was.

Blazer looking good. I really really like the color you chose.

**Thealien** · 04-20-2025, 10:21 AM

A little more progress

**Ol Blue K20** · 04-23-2025, 01:43 PM

I don't know how I missed this! I just read through it and subbing to watch the rest. Looking great!

**Thealien** · 07-02-2025, 01:17 PM

I have a 30 second long video showing the progress of my Blazer. It is in an MOV format and I do not know how to post that I could email it to someone if that would help?

Thanks

I live in Florida now and my Blazer is still at my body guy in Gloucester, Massachusetts. I had to go back to Massachusetts and decided to visit the body guy in my Blazer while I was there. Here are a few pictures of some progress.

**Getter-Done** · 09-13-2025, 08:31 PM

Looking Good.

**Thealien** · 09-13-2025, 08:34 PM

Thank you, it’s been a long four years so far.

Like the SS treatment on the grill

My painter actually had to machine a different angle on a 1970 Chevelle SS emblem to make it fit for the 68 grill. I think it kind of fits the build.

**Thealien** · 12-27-2025, 12:41 PM

Still plugging along. Hope to have it home in Florida sometime the following year.

**72 tigger** · 12-28-2025, 09:03 PM

Looks great

Any update on getting it home w/you?

We’re down to probably a dozen or so things and most of them aren’t that complicated. A few of them are making custom mount end or pieces.

Also trying to have him re-gear the rear end from the 308 it is to most likely 373

And there’s still plenty of snow on the ground up there, but he’s going to have my front end. Alignment done locally also.

I’m hoping sometime this summer I will be going up to pick it up. He’s been very fair with me on pricing and even said he will never do another project like this as he can’t Bill for all the hours he works on them. I feel bad but I’m glad he’s been as good as he’s been.
