Re: New member with barn find
Almost ready for paint. I have some work to finish on the inside and maybe tweak a fender or door but it's ready to go. I have a body guy all lined up but he wants to finish up a 66 nova before he take the blazer.

Re: New member with barn find
Well, after two years of picking away at this think its off to the painters. I feel like I lost an old friend but it will be back and I have the top and drivetrain to get started on.

Re: New member with barn find
I have these 9.75 steelies. I'm going to paint them white with the hub caps. I'm thinking BFG 16'5-35's. I know the BFG's run small + my axles have 456 gears, I hope they will fit with the 1 tons and the 2 1/2 lift. the 35's should help keep the engine rpm down a bit more than 33's.

Re: New member with barn find
That will look slick, always like that look. Beauty rings or not? Dont know if they make them for 16.5 wheels...i thick the 35s and 4 1/2s should be perfect
Had the bike out today for four hours, had a walk in inspection on fri. and sat. at my shop i use, so i just decided to keep it out and ride. Hows yours running?

Re: New member with barn find
Progress pics, I stopped by the body shop today to test fit some moldings and get some pics. I'm happy with it so far, he really dialed the doors in far better that I had them. The pass side door is a repop and it was giving me a hard time. He also pulled and did a rough coat on some dents. He's mainly working on the quarters right now but soon he wants to pull the frontend off and get it ready to cut it in. I forgot to ask about the windshield, with the frontend off I think it would be a good time to install it.

Re: New member with barn find
That is going to look sweet with the white top and the white 16.5's with the caps. Can hardly wait to see it.

Re: New member with barn find
Thanks guys. I'll get some better pics when it's in the driveway, the paint booth was kind of small. I just got done spraying tint able raptor bed liner on most of the top, I'm trying to get it done before the blazer comes home so I can get it out of the garage but I ran out of color. I got the inside and outside top done but still need to finish the sides and hatch. Now how do I get bed liner out of my hair?
