No noticable progress other than the new windshield. That turned into an all day project. Other than that, I've just been priming and blocking, priming and blocking, priming and blocking......Its almost ready to paint, except for one more prime and block, just waiting for they guys who are going to spray the 'color' coat to get some free time.

Looks good. Do you have cross-over steering?

HatGuy · 07-07-2005, 12:09 AM

On the CST package there's a stainless moulding like orange has on his.
Two different gaskets available, one with a 'slot' for the moulding, the other without.

F.Y.I. (because I didn't know) when installing the windshield with the stainless trim, put the trim in the gasket BEFORE installing into the frame.

Your blazer has all the right mods!

Very nice! Get that bad boy painted.

6" spring lift w/ 1/2" blocks under the rear springs. 35x12.5x15 BFGs. Drove it around the neighborhood yesterday. The ride was much better than I had anticipated. Driving it across the hill tomorrow to a friends garage to paint next week! WooHoo!
