The only thing I've done is strip off the 37's and put on some 42's.

New pics, yes.
Any real progress, not so much.

Lately it's only been about sorting/storing & trying to clean out & clear up garage space.

Fun is right! Only 25 pages long, rock on bro's!

vtblazer · 07-06-2009, 06:09 AM

Back to the H2's.

Swapped the wheels/tires around again, why you ask?

Cause the guy who's buying the blue blazer wants the 42's on it.
(sale pending)

If the blue one goes, will you keep the orange one, or try to sell that one too?

The orange one is already posted in the sale section, if that sells as well, it's onto #3, the bronze one...whew.

Selling #'s 1 & 2 to thin the heard and finance building #3.

You might be kidding but even so, your right!

That's the goal, I'm ready to settle down now.

glimmertwin01 · 07-06-2009, 10:05 PM

It's more about consolidation really, yes the orange one is amazing but so isn't the bronze one, both are as solid a blazer as I've ever been able to find.

So it boils down to a toss up, either would be great build candidates.

WheelinDixie · 07-07-2009, 07:21 AM

I wish I could build em like you Kurt!! No wonder your Julians hero

glimmertwin01 · 07-07-2009, 09:06 AM

Nice!

vtblazer · 08-22-2009, 07:17 PM

Don't care...
Can't stand to see it sitting in my garage and not work on it, so I did.

Started in on the firewall, got after a couple of the holes that need patching (3 more to go) and began sanding it down for paint.

Found a ton of debris in the pass. side cowl, will drill more holes on the bottom for better drainage before I paint.

Have two differant name brand drivers side rockers, will decide which one to use when I get to pulling off the existing rocker.
Yeah, it was just bad enough to convince me to replace it.

Hottrucks · 08-23-2009, 09:05 AM

just curious is there a vizual diff in the rockers??? and I hope you'll speak up on which one fits better..........I bought mine at the local Napa and the fit was fare but then again I didn't care and had nothing to compair them to......they where here in the next day and the panels I didn't use made it easy to return......

Big J · 08-23-2009, 10:09 AM

Glad to see ya workin' on it. It'll be the way it should've been from the factory when ya get it done.

No real visual differance between the two, once I pull the stock rocker I'll compare em and let ya know.

One is a Tri-Plus & the other has just enough of the tag worn off so that I can't tell.

The humidity is supposed to drop here next week after three weeks of misery, painting the firewall will be on the to-do list.

Hottrucks · 08-23-2009, 10:45 AM

humid LMAO the we could fight with the boys down south ......yek..... I guess tueday evening is going to be ther best time this week ...good luck......
