Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way

I've heard people say 550 (complete rotor to rotor) but that sounds like a lot to me but maybe it does??

Sounds close, we picked up a D60 HP once coming back from a wheeling trip and it took three of us to get the thing onto the trailer.

It was WAY heavy!

Nothing worst than getting new parts and having to go somewhere

I can see right now my pockets ain't deep enough to hang with this crowd. I'll just stop in and visit for now. Nice parts VT.

Funny, that's the exact same thing I thought when I saw your race cars.


Don't be fooled Ron, no deep pockets here.
Spending money at this rate is painful but I knew it was coming and it was the sole reason for selling off a my swb 4x4 project truck, so I 'would have' a little cash to throw at this build, cause yeah...it adds up freakishly fast!

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way

That is part of my problem VT. I have all this race car stuff scattered all over west Tn. and I can't sell it without losing $75 on the $100. I priced my 72 Nova at $7000 rolling, and best offer was $5000. Hell I've looked at bone stock rollers and been asked more for them. I'm gonna shut up before I ruin the good mood I'm in.
