Re: Looks like another project coming

I found your previous Jimmy builds very interesting; so I will definately be eager to see another one of your projects. Speaking of; how is the jimmy project going? I see the last post was back in July.

Haven't touched it. When I finally worked out a deal for this 2wd, I was thinking right away of selling it. But there are too many parts I need that it could be the donar for. I got it running and driving. Brakes are aweful, the exhaust is not hooked up yet. It's driveable with those things fixed and the lights/wiring gone through. A few hundred bucks and a solid weekend of work would probably make it a driver.

I've been working on a new cab for my C-10, the welding might get done on that by months end. Then the serious work starts on my truck swapping body parts and getting it ready for paint in the spring. Once it's at that point I'll be figuring out what to do with the blazers. I'll have a parts donar 2wd, beater 4wd and a pretty good blazer tub to start with. I hate to part with any of it.

Well you don't really have a whole lot more than just time invested in your Jimmy build, I say keep 'em all!

It's not a money issue really. I don't have space. My C-10 is at my house, the blazer/jimmy stuff is at a friends farm, sitting outside. Now I'll be lining up another one out there and won't be working on them until next spring again.

Re: Looks like another project coming

The good news is that since you have so little tied up in the Jimmy $$ wise you could strip it of all its usable parts for the 2wd project. Then you could still sell the rolling shell for more $$ than you have in it. Good luck and will be eager to watch no matter what you decide to do.
