One piece is the plan since it will have to be custom glass anyways.

THe biggest project right now is fitting all the gaps, I see folks on here all the time that don't take the time to make all their gaps consistant and that makes a huge difference in the end result in my opinion.

I was checking out your thread and your blazer is coming along nicely

That is going to be sweet when you get done

jkade · 01-13-2009, 08:12 PM

This came out of the same red neck garage that mine is being built in so maybe it will be as nice. Corvette purist need not reply

Buckaroo shot these back in the summer but it hasn't hit a mag yet.

Man, that thing gives me cold chills! Next time I'm over your way, you or your dad are gonna have to take me for a ride in the vette! That looks great!

Rokcrln · 01-14-2009, 10:24 AM

That is so sweeet. Can you or your Dad give a few specs on the rear set up. C5 style but what is the diff from, C4 or? Also are the spindles C5? Then are the half shafts stock pieces or were they made by?

How's the little one doing, Taylor goes in Friday for his 1 yr and a half check up. It goes by fast.

It pulls air through the cowl and how many ls motors have you seen with the intake backwards, that is the only advantage. I guess our family just likes to be different, and I guess that is why we do crazy things like him molesting a factory air car that was #'s matching minus the water pump

and me taking a factory 2wd blazer and making a truck out of it

The rear set up is from a cobra with custom shafts, homemade arms, cradle, etc. I can't remember how narrow it is now, he made some brackets to run the C5 front caliper on the rear. The front are mustang II spindles with a homemade bracket to run the C5 calipers. He is running 13.25" cobra rotors on all 4 corners. I will have to ask him who made the shafts or he will probably chime in.

Carter is doing great. He is up to 16lbs and 27" long so he is growing like a weed. Yes the time does fly, he is already over 4 months old.

That is unbeliavably sick! Maybe the nicest Vette I've seen (IMO).

It is a runner too and he shows it no mercy

I don't know how many times I have heard the rev limiter kick in with the back tires blowing smoke as he leaves his house

Thanks for generous comments!!!

nuke1 · 02-03-2009, 09:26 PM

Amazing, is all i can say about the vette, i am no purist by any means, that is how one is meant to look, congrats to carter for the unbelievable work.

Let me know what you need to know. I used a fbody harness and pcm in my 67 truck I sold. I used the pinouts off ls1tech.com and made it a standalone myself which saved as much as I had in the motor and trans. Pm me with any questions and I will give you my #.

It's not what you are thinking

I bought a m1009 from the military and I am making a trail rig out of it. Put a 14 bolt full floater and a dana 60 with 4:56 gears, 5 in lift, 38" swampers on h1 beadlocks, winch, etc. I will post some pics of it the next time I have the camera out.

Just an old military blazer to beat around the woods in.

jkade · 04-05-2009, 07:09 PM

Not much progress and no pics to show. I got the inner bedsides cut out for the new tubs now I have to go pick up some sheet metal to make my tubs, notch cover and we are going to cut the firewall out and weld in a new piece instead of patching all the holes.

Here is a pic of my rear tires. They are 335/30/20's which are nearly 14" wide
