No idea, found them on E-Gay, took out the Blueish H4 bulbs
that came with them and then put in 6K Slim Ballast HID's

**SOON2BLAZE** · 07-19-2011, 08:31 PM

**jaros44sr** · 07-21-2011, 10:05 PM

el3m3nt3l · 08-01-2011, 08:14 PM

build looks great.

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-05-2011, 05:55 PM

Removed the PS Pump today so I can put a new shaft seal in it
before trailering Her down to CTC in October. Brand New pump,
but was shelved for almost 2 years, = leaks like me after having
several Margaritas.

Mailed my registration off today so the 72
& the 00 will both be headed south just 2 months from today!

Where did ya find a place to buy parts for rebuilding the pump...thought that source dried up long ago

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-07-2011, 08:54 PM

Napa, turns out the shaft was installed crooked. (Defect from factory)

I'm getting a New pump Mon. (This is a 95ish Serp Set-up, not OEM)

ColoradoK5 · 08-15-2011, 05:04 AM

I guy in Cali made it, I was excited to get it even though
I think it was overpriced. I'm probably going to chalk it up
as a loss because it fits like crap at the ends and I'm not
sure that a fiberglass guy can fix it like it is. Live & Learn

ColoradoK5 · 08-18-2011, 06:13 PM

well that sux! Life's lessons tend to hurt the wallet.
off the subject a little a bought a 2wd blazer but needs the front floor replaced are truck replacements the same as the blazers?? any differances?? thanks

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-30-2011, 03:22 AM

Not sure on the pans, but I think so. I didn't have to replace mine
since they are OE. I know "Ron 586" is putting a whole floor pan in
his 2wd using that replacement Goodmark truck floor 1 piece unit.

PS - Drove it to dragstrip last Friday night, gotta do something on
those Cool headlights to mod them a lil, they suck ass at night, lol.

ColoradoK5 · 02-10-2012, 06:44 PM

any updates??

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-26-2012, 03:44 PM

No updates. Life has happened and it's just sitting in the
shop covered on skates. In a 3 month period I had three
vehicle breakdowns, (Only afford to fix 2 out of 3 = $700)
garage spring & garage opener, ($400) pet wireless died,
($300) hot tub breaker blew, ($50) $15K in Hail damage,
& Wife's needed tires. ($1250) so savings is emptied now.

Hoping to have it down at CTC in October, but not 4 sure
cause "Gas Hog" is still broke down and it's my Tow Rig. It
needs around $1500 in repairs. (Cam, so lifters and P rods)

**jaros44sr** · 03-26-2012, 04:48 PM

Craig, life really sucks sometimes, shame we arent all rich to play with our toys. Hope things get better for you....

My power just went out in the house, but at least i got the oil burner working, gotta charge my tablet by my car

ColoradoK5 · 03-26-2012, 05:32 PM

Sorry to hear hopefully u are past the rough times and cruising into some good times soon.

LUV2XCLR8 · 10-06-2012, 06:35 AM

Not finished, but She's going to CTC next week

I still have a ton to do, but going anyways

Pic was taken at the Exhaust Shop

**Palf70Step** · 10-06-2012, 07:07 AM

**jaros44sr** · 10-06-2012, 10:37 AM

Nice! Got any more pics....

**Nobby** · 10-06-2012, 10:42 AM

Looks Great Man!!

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-08-2013, 06:54 PM

Well "Life" keeps happening & I refuse to borrow $ to get this thing
any further than it is. At best, she makes a few events this year in
her underwear. (Primer) I still need my Doors and the Nose aligned.
I have the interior, but I also need that all covered. I need the 1/2
Top reworked so that it is usable, and of course the biggie. (Paint)

I have stuff on Craigslist and Ebay trying to raise the $ for all the
minor stuff and was hoping by Spring to just need Paint. Going to
try and have a planned "Shop" day sometime in May. (I'm hoping)

hgs_notes · 02-08-2013, 07:01 PM

Good luck with all that.
