Great build.... I would love to build a blazer

[AKoldstyle]

So its slowed down alittle and the snow is almost down here in Alaska. Im about a month away from hearing this thing run. I just installed the ron davis radiator and made my #20 an hoses. I think it looks sick. Hopefully i will being putting this down the track in spring.

WOW thats a sweet build. Someday I hope my little engine grows into a big block. Keep it up.

Looking good. Rad hose really fits the Prostreet/dragrace look of the truck.

Looks great man! What kind of headers are you running for that big motor?

[AKoldstyle]

The headers are hooker super comp 2 primaries and 3 1/2 collectors. top of the frame rail had 2 be trimmed alittle due 2 engine setback and lowering into the chassis. I just had the truck painted and it was done yesterday. Its now all ppg black and looks wet and smooth. I gotta give my body man props he went the extra mile and kept the bill down. I cant wait 2 post some pics on the 12th when i get home. You guys will really like this beast . Happy holidays and may this new year bring us all further on our projects and happiness in life. 2010 here we go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the unlimited products bolt on fiberglass 4 inch cowl was a piece of expensive crap and needed about 10 hours of work and the fender edges had 2 built up with glass 1/2 inch 2 meet the hood. booooooooooooooooooooo on this product. ok i feel better now

[69trk]

Looking good

[jgh64pkup]

yeah basically any glass hood you get totally sucks how much did you pay for it

[AKoldstyle]

the hood cost 380 and shipping was 389 then the materials where about 50 and my time. although the latch and hinge section works well

[Wasted Income]

Looking awesome!!

[jgh64pkup]

holy crap 389 bucks for shipping
i wonder how much it is in the lower 48 states
my hood from them is 465 thats why i dont have one
the price and because they suck

[AKoldstyle]

you guys in the lower 48 states have no idea how much it costs in shipping to build a rig up here in alaska. lol i have at least 8k in shipping last year. but its what we love 2 do right.

[jgh64pkup]

i think you need to move

[AKoldstyle]

ok boys here we go. this is the black and straightest truck i have ever owned and tommorrow i will show the top paint and installed. this is one slick paint job. My bodyman adam hooker is the **** and really put his touch on this one.
Thanks a ****in ton Adam ! it looks sick

[jgh64pkup]

dang i wanna see more pics

[Twisted78SS]

Dang!! I just found your build thread, and it looks fantastic. I am so glad to see more 2wd Blazer builds coming. Makes me so mad that I don't have mine farther along. Keep up the progress and the quality work!

[71jimmy]

Super slick. I wish I could afford your bodyman

[AKoldstyle]

Yeah my bodyman is great and takes pride in his work. He is also going to retire from full time body work after this project. Sad i know! hard to find good reputable bodyshops. here are a few more pics. the top is being painted as we speak and on friday i will install along with the tailgate. thanks 4 all the compliments

[Burt4x4]
