busy, busy, busy weekend. I logged in a solid 20 hours of truck building time this weekend and got ALOT done. I got my front end painted and buffed and all but the grill is done and ready to install though im going to go ahead and do the suspension before i put the front end back on. I also got around to test fitting the seats and boy did i screw the pooch on that one. I had bought some late modle trailblazer seats and based off some rough measurements i thought they would fit no problem and so i had them covered in new leather about 2 months ago and when i tossed them in there yesturday and shimmed them level i hopped in and realized that my head was about 2 inches from the roof and that my steering wheel was about 4" from my chest. I figured the steering column would be a problem but trying to get those seats lower is a much bigger problem because i already covered them in the last of the leather i had and banked on them fitting alright. I think what im going to have to do is removed the mounting brackets from the track and then notch out a section of the cab floor and drop the tall brackets and power seat motor down in that notched out section. Im going to work on it evenings this week and hopefully have them mounted by next weekend so i can install my new suspension parts i ordered from ece. I should also have my door panels finished and my headliner mold pulled by this weekend. Im gonna work on my truck everday and try to have it ready (or at least streetable) for the n. Texas get together in March. I didnt think i would even have it close by then but i got so much done this week that im gonna try to keep this pace and see how much i can get done by then. Im hoping to send the bed to the blaster next week and hopefully its in pretty good shape and i wont have to spend too much time getting it ready for paint.
