Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
Progress slow, I got the doors off and the tailgate and braces installed to keep everything straight. Going to try and get the body off sometime this week so I can work on the frame and suspension.

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
Here is a chop Carter did for me a while ago and it is the look I want. I am going to put the 67-68 trim on it like in the last pic. I think I am going to run the front and rear pans instead of bumpers. I think the black may look best on the bottom, grille and do the winshield frame and top black also.

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
Got the frame out from under it in about 45 mins by myself yesterday. Looks like the stock gas tank will not work back

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
Started doing a little sanding and the passenger rear bottom quarter had a crap load of bondo hiding a couple of dents so I am going to take it and have it blasted. From what I could tell it had been painted about 3 times and it was originaly hugger orange. Maybe off to the blaster next week.

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
Update. Got the frame striped down and the c notch cut out. I ordered a kp weld in step notch for the rear along with the under bed bag mounts. I started the 1.5" crossmember notch today, got the section cut out and it will be grinding and cutting filler pieces tomorrow. If I can remember to get the camera out of my other truck I will take some new pics. I also located me a free 9" ford rearend.

I have most of the grinding done on the crossmember, maybe I can get it welded up this afternoon.

Sweet. How much crossmember notch? Did you ever figure out the steering?

Sounds like it may be awhile but as long as you get what you want on your project it will be worth the money and time spent.

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
That's crazy, it looked good before, I can't imagine what it will look like when you're done. Keep it up.
