Re: blazer is painted!!
next is a set of wheels and then drive the heck out of it for the summer.
then park it for the winter and do the ls1 swap in it.I left the factory truck mirriors on it because it will be towing the tent trailer around.that was the whole reason to build it |

Re: blazer is painted!!
N2TRUX................I well post some better pics as soon as it is all together.There was no gas tank in it at the time it was sitting on the trailer(because of rear floor replacment)
old Rusty C10............the color is mandrin copper.It is orange but my crappy camera shows it as a brownish color the only original sheetmetal on the truck is most of the floor and the steel part of the roof. Last edited by longhorn71; 05-21-2007 at 01:35 AM. |

Re: blazer is painted!!
that IS the same color I had on my 77 impala. I LOOOOOOVE that color.
"drive it for the summer" you better get crackin', you have about 4 weeks left until it snows. LOL do NOT let Crystal drive it. you know how she is with SUVs. LOL ok, ok. all jealousy aside, that looks sharp. what kind of wheels you got in mind? |

Re: blazer is painted!!
wow looks great!! I guess this must have been one of those "put money into it when you have it" deals which is why it took so long instead of 2 months...
Be sure to show us some pics once roadworthy.
