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

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 · 02-19-2012, 04:18 AM

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 · 02-19-2012, 04:24 AM

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** · 02-19-2012, 09:54 AM

Nice progress and great looking blazer

Should make this a group invite, haha!
I have a very similar situation to you ... 34, getting married, kid on the way, and wanna finish mine by spring/summer too! would be great to check out your ride, keeps guys like us motivated when we have so much going on.

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!

sweet, I'll fit right into your club, I gotta '66 out back thats next on the chopping block...

YBNORML · 02-22-2012, 01:34 AM

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.

YBNORML · 02-22-2012, 01:43 AM

Got a little more work done tonight. Pulled the body back off. Gotta love the lift, well worth the money.

YBNORML · 02-22-2012, 02:00 AM

I did notice something new today though. Because I have chosen to run a 24" wheel with a total height of approx 30.5". My truck does not layout completely. It touches at the front of the frame near the step up but slowly climbs towards the back. I'm ok with it though, I pland on installing some bumpstops at the front to make it level when laid out. This will make the pinch approx .5" from the ground. What do you guys think?

trevorrhine · 02-22-2012, 02:35 AM

That looks awesome man! you'll never notice the change in frame height, especially with the pinch 1/2" off the ground....looks great.

**67cheby** · 02-22-2012, 06:41 AM

Looks sick !!

When you get the entire assembled weight of the truck on the frame, I won't be surprised if you're all the way on the ground.
