I guess all three, lol... But mainly Hagar. I like Roth's vocals but not Roth,

rocks

Whoa there.... Not a pro. You can check out the Project and Builds section for some real pros.... Surely some other fella would appreciate your vote of confidence. I'm just an amature havin' fun learning as I go. Thanks for the compliment, but not a pro, maybe in another 10-20 years of doing this

Great looking tires. As I'm sure you know, rotate those tires religiously!

Definitely, all mud tires, lol... I had a set of 32 11.50's on my Dodge and at 30,000 miles they still had almost half tread. They wore great. I can't wait to put some miles on these... For a little bit I'd put it together and drive it the way it is for the summer

Thanks for the compliments. I traded some pallet racking we had in the warehouse to a tire dealer friend for them. I had them mounted up and balanced here in Louisville. The tires came from Frankfort, it was cheaper to have it done here then drive out there, lol... I was wanting to have balancing sand put in but nobody here local has a clue. I guess when I get it done I'll drive it to our tire friend and let them pull all the wieght off, about 7oz per tire and put in the sand. I'd hate to throw a wt. against my eventually nice paint

**jaros44sr** · 04-11-2008, 06:01 PM

Never heard of that! Soooo, do you put 7 ozs. of sand in it?

BTW, nice progress and workmanship. Lots of builds going on around here....

Big trucks have been using this type of stuff for years. Its not actually sand.

Well its been kinda hectic in the shop so I haven't been able to do much to the blazer. I did take out my poly mounts and cut some 4x4 to use as bodymounts while I blast the bottom side. All I gotta do is find some long enough bolts and mount them up. I did manage to make a template for the gas filler cover. A stock one isn't wide enough by 1" or so. I did get to do some trading yesterday and picked up a nice MAC tool box!!! Now I get to try and memorize where I put all my tools

vtblazer · 04-22-2008, 02:41 AM

Whoa, liking the new box!

Whatcha trade for it...a new car?
