Lucky I'm a farmer now, so I can hammer down on my truck everyday all day for the next two months!

oh yea, and if you are missing a few odds and ends, I have a ton of extra parts (many new) let me know and I could come by with a gift basket!

Maybe we should start a club, lol. I'm 28 having a kid any minute now, and. I'm also trying to get me truck on the road this spring!!!

Not much on the horsepower side of things, but she loves to climb all over it and that's good enough for me probably the most expensive jungle gym I have ever seen!

The plan is probably a satin yellow for a few years and then eventually Butternut yellow.

[67c10rustbuket]

Wow, very nice project and I love that blazer too! keep it up man.

[YBNORML]

Cheby : Gotta love the quality of Nate's products

Firethorn : Thanks, there's actually quite a few Edmonton and area members.

67c10 : Thanks, I've been watching your buildthread. Looks good

Fast : Thanks, stick with it. It's totally worth it.

[YBNORML]

Had a good night in the shop. Got the new control arms installed. Everything fits After my screw up the first time around I was kinda nervous.

[YBNORML]

Thought I would throw up a few pics of my other winter project. Originally I built this one to haul the kids around but decided to go with a fullsize crewcab instead. I will be selling it in the spring. It just needs a few minor touchups.

[67cheby]

Nice progress and great looking blazer

I would love to see your truck and blazer one day. hopefully I can get Havoc (my 68) up there one day this summer. Keep up the pics and progress!

77chris : Thanks, I wish I had your welding skills. I'm going to start learning this weekend

nuke : Thanks, I'm planning on hitting the super run in red deer this summer you should try and come.

Slammed : Enjoy the new baby, it'll be a change

Smokn : Thanks for the offer, i'll let you know if I need anything. Don't feel that you need to bring gifts to stop by though

Cheby : Thanks, the blazer is one of my favorites. It hurts to sell it. But you can't keep them all.
