Cool, thanks for the input. I never drove it when I first got it so I didn't know what it was supposed to do. Still have to find the temp guage wire. I think its dark green but theres no dark green wire hangin'.

Looking good man. Looking REALLY good.

Do you have the color wiring diagram? If not I can email it to you.

jaros44sr · 12-17-2009, 03:49 PM

J. my temp. wire(green) comes out of the bulkhead connector(left hand side of the bulkhead connecter which is the engine harness) top, second wire in to the right

If this doesn't make sense, as I'm confused and I'm looking at it, I'll take a pic. for you

Big J · 12-17-2009, 10:17 PM

I've got the diagrams, just have to take the time to run it down. What messes me up is its not dangling there, lol. It should be but who know, lol.

5150 · 01-13-2010, 10:07 AM

I thought you said $4, looks like you got it for $3.

Lookin' good, can't wait to see it in July.

vtblazer · 01-13-2010, 11:38 AM

I think that was for vehicle no.3, lol. It was cheap anyways, gotta love cheap. Now watch the key break off in it while its on there or something, lol. I'm going to do my best to be there in July, it'll depend on the job thing. Jamie and I have already talked about caravaning down. I know it'll be done by then, I've given myself no choice, lol.

Will you be running a single sub? I'll be interested to see this project as it progresses.

Thats the plan. I want one of those wheel well tool boxes for the other side. May make one, might buy one. Somethin' like this.

vtblazer · 02-09-2010, 09:05 AM

What kind of exhaust are you running?

Trying to figure out if we'll hear the 'rumble' of the motor or the 'thump' of the bass first...?

Really great to be watching two blazers come to life!!

Who will be on the road first? Jim or Jason...?

Maybe we should start up a pole?

5150 · 02-09-2010, 10:16 AM

If it's like mine, it'll be the music first. I think of it as my duty to inform and educate the young people of today with great music that their generation has apparently dropped the ball on

Right now it would probably the exhaust, lol. Its just two straight pipes that stop just after the x-case. I know, I need to really be puttin' time in.

It should be loud and sound good. My main goal is to hear it over the wind, lol.

5150 · 02-09-2010, 10:59 AM

I'm sure it will sound good. I made a big deal about my stereo and guys were telling me not to worry about it because you weren't going to hear it anyway with it being topless. I was determined to hear it and it sounds good.

Big J · 02-09-2010, 08:03 PM

We got snow! 8" so far and its still snowin'.

I'm just about ready to lay some fiberglass. I got the form the way I want it for the sub enclosure. I've got some glass work to do on the door panels too. Should turn out nice. Still on the fence about covering in vinyl or rolling on the rubber.

Here is a very crappy video that I did awhile back. I had technical difficulties with the stereo so theres a bit of wandering around while I fixed it. Have patience and enjoy, lol.

5150 · 02-09-2010, 08:25 PM

Is there a better sound then the roar of a Chevrolet motor with Eruption at the same time, I don't think so

nothing crappy about that video at all!!!!!

I couldn't agree more!!!

Bentblazer · 02-09-2010, 08:54 PM

Sounds good to me!

Jtrux · 02-09-2010, 10:05 PM

Very nice!

**jamie72** · 02-09-2010, 10:08 PM

looking good... go vinyl... rollin a rubber is too easy...

vtblazer · 02-10-2010, 06:37 PM

got some Van Halen goin' on Pandora...

Kids now-a days have no idea...

My kids get their vitiman 'R' everyday thanks to pops.

Nice job J, chevy thunder $$$, heavy metal drowning it out...priceless!

Big J · 02-12-2010, 05:26 PM

Laid some fiberglass mat where the plywood meets the door panel. I'll probably use kitty hair on the backside. Should be strong. Got the fabric coated in resin for the sub enclosure so I hope to start laying mat over that soon. Did some other odds and ends too. Got the temp. sending unit and electric choke hooked up. I replaced some wires that were buggin' me. I also went ahead and made a hole back beside the filler to install the tall skinny thing. Can't for the life of me think of what it is but that describes it, lol. There are 3 fuel lines that go to it. Its all for venting. When I filled the gas tank it wanted to come back out so I figure I better go ahead and hook it all up. Got the visors and holders painted too.

Sorry for the crappy pics, had to use the cell, forgot the camera at home.
