Your neighbors will love you as much as mine love me if you just park em straight.

5150 · 02-15-2007, 09:23 AM

You can't really see them behind the house, but one neighbor can. They don't care though. In fact, he's looking for a 4wd Blazer.

Just a thought. I just think parts trucks are huge money savers.

I really don't see the point in ruining a perfectly good blazer (4x4 at that, i've got a soft spot for them) to make a good 2x4 blazer

(really don't care for 'em).

well, she's ready to go to the bodyshop. Thanks to Chevye for letting me borrow is towbar so I can bring it up there Wednesday morning. She looks a lot different then when I first got her and I can't wait to see her after she gets back.

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-20-2007, 05:13 AM

Keep us posted

5150 · 02-20-2007, 05:21 PM

Well, there probably won't be much news. However, I will go out there and take pics of the progress.

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-20-2007, 05:24 PM

Trust me, you will want progress pic's, just in case it ends up Bad A$$ and
in a mag someday, Knowing what's been doe w/ pic's along the way is nice.

5150 · 02-21-2007, 01:52 PM

Well, it's gone. Loaded her up today and towed it up to the guys house. Halen went with me. I believe Putter would say she was dressed appropriately.

The guy has a 72 burb and a 67 swb. The burb was covered in plastic but it's going to be pretty sweet. He's shaved everything on it and put a different fuel door. I did take a few pics of his 67.

5150 · 02-21-2007, 01:53 PM

last pic of the 67

**Yukon Jack** · 02-21-2007, 05:02 PM

Looks like a great little helper!

pharcyde05 · 02-21-2007, 05:58 PM

looks good cant wait to see the body shop pics

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-21-2007, 06:12 PM

5150 · 02-21-2007, 11:36 PM

thanks, hope to have some soon. I felt really good knowing the guys there were really excited to take it on. They even had the magazine out with the yellow blazer on it. They were talking about what all to do to make it look like that. That made me feel pretty good about it.

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-22-2007, 04:19 PM

When you are depending on someone else to do the job for you half the battle is having a good feeling for the ones doing it. It can be called a lot of names but what it boils down to is the feeling in your gut that tells you it's right or wrong. Will be waiting for progress reports and pictures of your blazer. You have a beautiful little helper there to help keep you straight so good luck on your long awaited project.

current bid $34,900

bouncytruck · 02-23-2007, 03:56 PM

I don't know if the yellow one is actually for sale or if it was just a reference to the truck. The Silver on in the thread ended at $34,900 with the reserve not met. Coincidentally, this is exactly where the bidding ended last time. I'd guess the reserve is $35K and his buddys stopped bidding so they wouldn't go over the reserve.

5150 · 04-05-2007, 09:08 AM

Well, I went by the other day to drop off a BUNCH of patch panels that Tim Christian brought to me at my cookout. The body mounts were on and he said they were waiting for metal. I'm going by there on Friday to bring them a door and some metal bed patches. I'll try to get some pics then.

**raggedjim** · 04-05-2007, 09:56 AM

yellow69, hang in there. I know it's hard to wait on something getting done, but I started on mine myself and I can guarantee your's will be done before mine! I wish I could FIRE me! (but I work too cheap...)

5150 · 08-08-2007, 07:34 PM

Well, I know it's been a while but they finally got it in doors and started working on her. I got a few pics.

Some progress is better than no progress
