In the front yes. The rear still needs a notch. If I had gone with the regular Dropmember that is what I would have done.

**67cheby** · 01-29-2013, 11:54 AM

well me , chip and my son worked on stretching the frame table out last night getting a little closer to starting on this frame every day !

DrppdBlazr · 01-29-2013, 12:20 PM

Nice mike nice mike....Cant wait untill im to this point... Frame tabel extension looks good

**67cheby** · 01-31-2013, 10:40 AM

here is a little more mock up of the Scott's IFS and a little more work getting the frame set on the table

**oldman3** · 01-31-2013, 12:57 PM

Mike, looks good. Based on what I see I take it for granted that you are sticking with the
orginal frame and making you mods as needed?....Jim

**67cheby** · 01-31-2013, 01:04 PM

nope building a whole new frame !

DrppdBlazr · 01-31-2013, 01:58 PM

not trying to thread jack or anything just curious to know if anyone knows...Is the 2wd blazer frame the same as your 4wd blazer frame?

Frame table extension seems to be turning out good man.

**67cheby** · 01-31-2013, 02:32 PM

I think they are...i will have this original frame for sale in a few weeks if anyone is looking for one to modifu, as soon as i am done mocking everything up off of it !

watahyahknow · 01-31-2013, 03:14 PM

i believe the front part of the frame is shaped differently to leave room for the solid frontaxle on a 4wheel drive , if it is raised higher the kick up in the frame might be good to get the truck to lay frame using a stock crossmember without z-ing the frame in the front or the need to pancake the crosmember

Zoomin · 01-31-2013, 06:31 PM

Very cool! What the heck is next?

**67cheby** · 01-31-2013, 06:37 PM

finish squaring up the frame on the table , weld all the frame mount braces in place ....yank the old frame off the table and build a new one !

I like the way the custom frame ideas are going and the scotts suspension is awesome. So if you are friends with Charles Armstrong this should have some wicked graphics right? I like his time machine yota a lot, one of my favorite mini trucks ever. I actually met him once in the mid '90s in Oklahoma when he had the black toyota that he airbrushed murals from some dracula? movie all over it and the hood was hinged at one corner. He had some huge custom made 17s and chrome leaf springs. Man the good ol mini truckin days, ha ha. He does some awesome paint jobs, there used to be a bunch of them around in Oklahoma.

Has Sarah read this comment? just sayin'

We were leaning towards having Charles air brush wood trim on it but i think we have decided to just go classic two tone, keep it simple and classy !
LOL

Dinos63 · 02-03-2013, 11:13 AM

wow!! building a new frame nice

watahyahknow · 02-01-2013, 12:47 PM

the fake wood thing isnt done with an airbrush , its a basecoat and a coat over wich they distress with brooms and paintbrushes and a little tool while its still wet to get the look of the grain the might put in a few black spots but thats about it

**67cheby** · 02-01-2013, 12:49 PM

Charles is an amazing air brush artist , he was going to air brush the wood

longbed67 · 02-03-2013, 11:30 PM

Wow! Looks like the build is making some progress since I last checked in! I'm excited to see how this frame turns out! Whats next a change to a totally tubular setup!?

As always keep up the good work!

67ctener · 02-04-2013, 12:59 AM

i made a side profile pattern of the complete frame and then made a new pattern with all the right angles so i can lay out the 2x4 Tubing and get it all cut, i am also making fish plates that will be mounted on the inside of the tubing and be plug welded at every joint.

and did a little welding on the floor panel patches
