Awesome Cars man! How hard is it to get into the Auto Resto Program there? Im originally from Topeka but my family just moved up to Wasilla, Alaska. After we moved I found the Auto Resto Program. I just finished my Junior Year in high school and Would love to go there.

Re: Kota And Tangarae

Got the blazer home last Saturday left for a mission trip and didn't even get to mess with the blazer when I got it home. But I got home around 7 went straight to the blazer and with a fresh charge she fired right up and drives like a dream

Congrats on getting into the program and nice work on the bench. Like the new blazer. That will be my next project as soon as I find one that's not rusty

Re: Kota And Tangarae

Okay I got the top off and this is a question for the blazer guys but when I first got off the top the passenger door had to be lifted to close but after sitting for a while it closes fine how worried should I be?
I did an oil change scrubbed more changed the thermostat (kept sticking) and drove it a bit

Re: Kota And Tangarae

I got a call from the lady I bought the blazer from and She said she found some parts so I went over and most were for square body trucks. She did give me what looks like a can holder does anyone know what it actually is or maker?

Re: Kota And Tangarae

Drove home this weekend and on the way my truck started shifting funny (still haven't checked on why) but since I've been here I got a free 383 stroker and a free soft top for the blazer!!! The top isn't in the best shape so I'm gonna use it as a template and make some new ones
