Looks like it's going to be sweet

Why did you have to make a homemade rocker box? My rocker boxes are in real good shape

Yesterday has become today

The one on the driver's side was eaten all up. The patch panel is like $150.

Looks like a good start. You will also (99%) need the lower A pillar and the inner rockers as most of us have had to do this as well. Just do one side at a time before moving on and their is plenty of reference material here on the site to check with if you need to.

Here are a few to start with~

Havent had a chance to work on the Blazer much this week but i did snatch up a nice piece to redo the dash!

I am going to smooth the entire dash except for the gauge and fill it with a 55 Chevy Dakota Digital gauge.

*1sik52* · 11-24-2008, 10:44 PM

No problem, maybe next week we can get together and check out each others vehicles

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-27-2008, 08:13 PM

VA72C10 · 01-01-2009, 09:15 PM

Will be watching when you get a chance to work on it...

*1sik52* · 06-07-2009, 02:44 PM

Ok, Sorry I havent had a chance to show any updates in a while but despite how bad economy has been I have been so busy I have not had time to work on my toys. But that is all about to change. Several weeks ago I bought the Porterbuilt Dropmember from VA72C10 (Thanks!!!) and I just purchased a 2001 LS1 to go in this thing. I will post some pics up soon because I am anxious to start building this thing! Next purchase is some new 20x8.5 up front and 22x12s for the rear! Cant Wait.

**Nobby** · 06-07-2009, 03:31 PM

I hate to remind you but you got 16 weeks before Cruisin the Coast.

LUV2XCLR8 · 06-07-2009, 03:52 PM

22 x 12's, your gonna cut the crap out of the rear to fit those.
Are you going to go with a 4 link bag system too? (Don't think
much of anything else will fit back there after you narrow it)

VA72C10 · 06-07-2009, 04:06 PM

Glad you're getting to work on it. Can't wait to follow along...Hopefully I'll get a blazer project soon myself

It may be done "enough" to bring it over there on a trailer. I'll just have to see how much time I have in between now and then......

. The 68 will definitely be there,

LUV2XCLR8 · 06-09-2009, 02:12 PM
