Well, I'm feeling pretty good about it. He made some comments about wanting it done right and that he felt bad for it taking so long. So that's a good thing.

**raggedjim** · 08-09-2007, 09:34 AM

Well, every project has 3 elements; Time, Scope (amount and quality of work to be done) and $$$. If you change one the others have to change to balance the job. I have to face this every day... The good thing is you have the $$$ locked down. Don't let the scope suffer because you are impatient...

Looking good, Rg

"Gitter Done!"

**Ron 586** · 08-27-2007, 07:07 AM

Just checking in to see how things are going. Looks good so far. Waiting on the finished product.

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-27-2007, 02:52 PM

What he said, you driving it to MV in 08 right?

5150 · 08-27-2007, 07:08 PM

Assuming it's done, I'd like to bring it.

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-28-2007, 04:46 PM

Done? Are they ever? I'm trailering mine since I'm planning on running
the Dragon. I want to be sure it gets back home if it breaks on me

5150 · 08-28-2007, 05:34 PM

Well, if I go the trailer route I'll have to choose which one to bring. If the blazer's done then I'll probably trailer it. Not sure driving that far down the interstate in a "convertible" is that much fun. I don't mind the wind blowing or I wouldn't be doing this to the blazer, but not at interstate speed.

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-28-2007, 05:39 PM

It was a blast driving mine over to Ron's, I'm just a lil concerend with 6 hours
vs. 1 hour on the highways. Wasn't any wind to speak of really, just semi's

**Palf70Step** · 09-03-2007, 08:13 PM

The blazer is coming along nicely. Hopefully I'll get to MV and it'll be there to see.

5150 · 09-03-2007, 08:20 PM

thanks Bill, hopefully I'll have it done before MV. I'll be going by there on Wed, so I'll get some more shots of it.

5150 · 09-07-2007, 08:24 AM

well, didn't get more pics. Forgot he went to the Shades of the Past this week in Gatlinburg. Have to wait two more weeks till I go up that way.

tvblazer78 · 09-12-2007, 09:37 PM

So this is it. You have a good start. any new pic's?

5150 · 09-17-2007, 11:52 PM

Not lately, I'm going out that way on Wednesday. I'll try to get some updated pics then.

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-18-2007, 03:02 PM

5150 · 09-20-2007, 07:40 PM

Well, I didn't get there till today. Had the camera and was ready to rock and roll. One thing though, camera doesn't work to well when my wife took the memory card out.

I actually learned about a show up there on Sat. Gave me a good reason to bring the truck up there and come back with the camera.

tvblazer78 · 09-20-2007, 09:11 PM

sweet pic's!!!!!!

5150 · 09-23-2007, 09:19 AM

Okay, I took my truck back up that way to a show on Sat and went and got some pics of the blazer. Westmoreland is about 45 minutes from me and out in the middle of nowhere. They got the firewall almost done and the sidemarkers covered. A few other things also. Here's the pics

5150 · 09-23-2007, 09:21 AM

and a few more

**Palf70Step** · 09-23-2007, 09:29 AM

It's moving along!

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-23-2007, 10:02 AM

You can sell it back to me, for the same price, when they are done

5150 · 09-23-2007, 02:31 PM

I'll think about it.....okay I'm done thinking NO!

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-26-2007, 05:45 PM

5150 · 10-01-2007, 10:50 PM

What do you guys think of me taking my wheels and having them powdercoated black for the blazer?

LUV2XCLR8 · 10-01-2007, 11:04 PM

Centers? or Outer lip and all? (I vote to leave the lip if you do it)
