Almost ready for paint. I have some work to finish on the inside and maybe tweak a fender or door but it's ready to go. I have a body guy all lined up but he wants to finish up a 66 nova before he take the blazer.

Exciting time, can't wait to see paint on it and wheels, going to kick butt.

warbucket · 07-03-2013, 11:45 PM

Well, after two years of picking away at this think its off to the painters. I feel like I lost an old friend but it will be back and I have the top and drivetrain to get started on.

mud.man.rj · 07-04-2013, 01:53 AM

I am liking that Blazer, can't wait to see more.

jaros44sr · 07-04-2013, 08:02 AM

Congrats John...how long will it take?

I'll keep the pics coming. I was afraid to ask how long it will take but he said he is slow.

dujobu · 07-05-2013, 08:25 AM

Awesome news John! Can't wait to see her in paint.

warbucket · 07-05-2013, 08:49 AM

I have these 9.75 steelies. I'm going to paint them white with the hub caps. I'm thinking BFG 16'5-35's. I know the BFG's run small + my axles have 456 gears, I hope they will fit with the 1 tons and the 2 1/2 lift. the 35's should help keep the engine rpm down a bit more than 33's.

jaros44sr · 07-05-2013, 04:54 PM

That will look slick, always like that look. Beauty rings or not? Dont know if they make them for 16.5 wheels...i thick the 35s and 4 1/2s should be perfect

Had the bike out today for four hours, had a walk in inspection on fri. and sat. at my shop i use, so i just decided to keep it out and ride. Hows yours running?

warbucket · 08-30-2013, 08:18 PM

Progress pics, I stopped by the body shop today to test fit some moldings and get some pics. I'm happy with it so far, he really dialed the doors in far better that I had them. The pass side door is a repop and it was giving me a hard time. He also pulled and did a rough coat on some dents. He's mainly working on the quarters right now but soon he wants to pull the frontend off and get it ready to cut it in. I forgot to ask about the windshield, with the frontend off I think it would be a good time to install it.

mud.man.rj · 08-30-2013, 08:27 PM

Coming along nicely, the door gaps are spot on. Your to be a cool ride.

**richard2717** · 10-21-2013, 09:08 PM

Looking damn nice John

jaros44sr · 10-21-2013, 10:38 PM

John, you have to be happy that you changed out that 73 bed for the correct one now, cause it looks amazing....alot of hard work went into that old truck. Good job

**Tom Vogel** · 10-22-2013, 09:31 AM

That is going to look sweet with the white top and the white 16.5's with the caps. Can hardly wait to see it.

warbucket · 10-26-2013, 07:36 PM

Almost there, should be home this week.

mud.man.rj · 10-27-2013, 03:10 AM

Almost home...that's exciting. Will be nice to see it get nothing but better.

notsolo · 10-27-2013, 07:49 AM

**richard2717** · 10-27-2013, 08:29 AM

richard

**71blksuper4x4** · 10-27-2013, 09:42 AM

Looking sharp! Trevor

jaros44sr · 10-27-2013, 09:58 AM

Congrats, now the reassembly fun begins....that was almost painless

warbucket · 10-27-2013, 09:50 PM

Thanks guys. I'll get some better pics when it's in the driveway, the paint booth was kind of small. I just got done spraying tint able raptor bed liner on most of the top, I'm trying to get it done before the blazer comes home so I can get it out of the garage but I ran out of color. I got the inside and outside top done but still need to finish the sides and hatch. Now how do I get bed liner out of my hair?

2003 silverado · 10-28-2013, 07:21 PM

Looks Nice John MORE PICS ON THIS SITE cannot see them on my dumb phone

warbucket · 10-28-2013, 07:55 PM
