Cool, I like the idea of having the call outs for what it really is.

K5 sounds so much better.

Never made C5 blazers...

[QUOTE=LUV2XCLR8;3162219]I didn't have a build thread so I guess I need to start one.

This thing is also known to some others as "YFTSB"

Like Twisted78SS says, To build something GM didn't.=QUOTE]

I'm with you on that build. Look in my sig. I had started on my "Yenko 427 ST" pickup then had to put it in storage when I moved overseas for a few years. My time is up here in 4 months and I will be back home bringing it out of mothballs (just who named those things) and get started back on it. I will keep my eyes glued to this build.

An even better question would be how would you harvest them? Must be a lot of eunich moths out there.

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-22-2009, 02:30 PM

Not any progress to speak of, the frame, crossmember, and
steering center link are headed off this week to get blasted
and powdercoated. Thanks 2 Chuck (lonerife) for picking up
some rollers for the project until I can order my new wheels.

tdave00 · 03-23-2009, 05:44 AM

Subscribing and looking forward to seeing some powdercoating soon.

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-27-2009, 04:41 PM

Guess who delivered today?

UPS

Twisted78SS · 03-27-2009, 04:45 PM

UPS deliveries seem better that Christmas morning to me - mainly since they happen more than once a year.. Looks like some great goodies..

Sweet. That C notch kept the frame from moving around, didn't it.

LUV2XCLR8 · 05-01-2009, 04:38 AM

Yeppers, rode right on down the road @ 80 mph

70k52wd · 05-01-2009, 08:13 AM

Luv, hope you don't mind that I put your pics up...It's so much easier for us dial up people...Looking real nice. Powder coating is where it's at.

smbrouss70 · 05-01-2009, 11:41 PM

Sweet, now start throwing parts at it. Crusing the Coast is creeping up on you!

VA72C10 · 05-01-2009, 11:55 PM
