Re: Looking for build name?
I've said that a few times over the years. I always wanted a 2 wheel drive Blazer. I now have a 2 wheel drive Blazer. It will be exactly like I want it (for the most part). I can't take it with me?

Re: Looking for build name?
No big progress news. He had to finish up a couple of smaller projects and I do not have a problem with that. Body and paint guy won't be ready for 3 months or so.
The underneath of the tub is getting coated. Its not really an undercoating but will look better than the old oily undercoating is there. Then finish the brakes and install the tires and wheels. It "should be a roller with the body mounted back to the frame permanently by the end of the week? Hydroboost should be in on Wednesday. After this week it will be wiring, driveshaft, gauges? Kind of looks good in there?

Re: Looking for build name?
Tires are mounted. I wanted to see how they would look.

Re: Looking for build name?
For the name.... 'Rusty' would work for me & be a good segue into the origins of the name.
Nice stuff for the chassis. I see you went w/the QA1 front arms/suspension & rear set-up. RedHead steering box. The TinWorks LS swap items & x-members. Holley Mid-Mount accessory set-up. Not quite a year later & very nice foundation.

Re: Looking for build name?
Yes sir, just checked the invoice. I was looking for 255 but I guess they weren't available in the cheap tires I bought.

Re: Looking for build name?
Some latest pictures
Not me driving but this is my rough ride height! From the rear. I have an NOS tailgate to replace the louvered one. Unless I can remove the skin they welded on? Looks nice on the bottom? Not 100% happy with the exhaust! With the QA1 panhard bars the drivers side has to go lower than I wanted? For now I just want to get it into body work prison in a couple of weeks for about a year! I am happy with the ride height. I hope I'll be happy with the ride quality!

Re: Looking for build name?
There has been progress but not quite as fast as I wanted. I have been trying to get a garage built for over a year and didn't want to have this finished with no indoor storage. I may change plans and am leaving to look at property in TN near some friends.
Here are the inner bedsides with the small arch reworked for more tire clearance. The wheel tubs were also widened 1.5" to accommodate wider tires at a later date, once I have melted these!
