thought I'd share some pictures of what the rig is doing.....so much has been happening here, new addition to the family housework and a lack of funds have gotten me to this point......don't worry, I just got a burst o' energy....BTW I'm ashamed....

Any progress is better than no progress, never loose interest, and never give up

good things take time. Thats what I keep telling my self.

I feel your pain, most of my problem is laziness though.

Your bummed because your not getting it done...??

Or because that's all that's been done since you tore into it?

Trust me, your not alone here.

We've all been there.

Tend to your life (especially the family) the blazer will wait patiently, I promise.

Thanks VT...that's what I needed to hear. I just don't want it to wither away on me and become an eye sore (which it already has) As you can see it is not "resting" on pavement, so I'm more vulnerable to rot from the bottom now as well. I AM however promising myself I WILL DRIVE this thing this summer.

I was in the same boat after my daughter was born. It was one of the main motivating factors behind buying my '72. It is a complete, fully functional daily driver and my '69 wasn't. I just don't have time to do the things I wanted to do to my '69. With baby #2 on the way, It will be many years before I get a chance to work on a real project truck, hence the '69 is going to a new owner.

Family is more important. The truck will wait and be better off in the long run.

I've got a blazer cover in the garage I'm not using. Free if you want to pay for shipping.

Family comes first, that's why I never have any money for my truck, but you do what you can, when you can.

Thanks man! Yeah, he's great. If anybody wants a dog but is nervous about infants/toddlers...here's your breed. I've never seen a dog so loving and gentle...and that's to ALL KIDS! We brought home a newborn 3 months ago....he welcomed him with no problems or jealousy. As you can see he was on the look out for his raccoon friends while I snapped the shot. Blazer looks good from the photo until you see it up close. Wil improve though....
