How to: Ruin a perfectly good Blazer...

[gringoloco]

As-is, but my powder guy blasts everything beforehand- I have never had adhesion problems with his work. I even 'clearanced' my LCAs after powder with a 6lb sledge and didn't lose a even a flake of coating. I'll be sure and go check it tonight though so I can rest better...

Well I had a friend come over and give me a hand cleaning thigs up a bit. I am still waiting to do a dump run once LowBuck is finished up.
Here are a few pics from today (yep you get all 5 or none) of the tilt front end on my 70. We pulled off the stock front end as one piece now I just need to pull it apart and store the good stuff and toss the bad. I did remove the stock hood bumpers on the tilt front end but will put some back in before paint or anything so that may give me an extra bit of an opening. Also I noticed my hinge spreader bar sits on the radiator support as it touches the bump stop locations. I also included a few pics of other stuff we moved around. The 51 F1 is a future street rod project so I can play around with chopping, chaneling, sectioning, shortening and a few other mods. It is a factory V8 flathead truck that only has 48K on the ticker. It was a friends dads truck that he put in a barn in the 60's and pulled out last year when I bought it from him. I know it's not a Chevy but will be one bad @ss truck when done all the same.

I thought so. I may shave the bumpers down a bit- maybe half height- to give me a little wider opening but still keep it from hitting the core support. Kind of a comfortable median...

I found that the weight split mine in pieces so I want to find some other type that will hold up to the extra weight of our hood. So once you find what works let me know will ya!
