Coming together really well John. That Hickey roof rack sets it off.

Re: New member with barn find

Got it inspected Today, now I can drive it around and work out the bugs.
I got the rugs in but I still need to recover the front buckets and finish the rest of the interior. Eventually I'll get the sidewinder winch installed.

Beautiful John. She sure is pretty. Did you go with steel or stainless exhaust? Custom or kit?

Re: New member with barn find

Thanks guys, Hey Dusty I got the blazer exhaust system from summit and made it fit. I was surprised how well the tail pipes fit around the tank and over the axle.

Re: New member with barn find

Update pics, I took the blazer out for it first highway ride and it did very well. It handled very nice at 60-65 and with the converter locked up it was happy at 70.
I'm almost done with the interior and I even got a chance to take my sidewinder winch apart. I just got all the seals and bearing in so it will be going back together soon.

Re: New member with barn find

I finally got my sidewinder winch installed. The winch came with the front angle iron but I had to make my own frame mounts. Also had to make the cross bar in the rear. I still need to mount the solenoids, run the wires and get the brush guard installed.

Re: New member with barn find

Got my jerry can mounted and put some more miles on it before the rain and ice.
What do you think, repaint the can red or dark military green ?
