Thanks to all, yes he is a big boy for sure. The wife is a little sore to say the least but she was only in labor for 8 hours and only pushed for 2 hours.

On another note, have you got that top painted yet? Shot me some pics when you get it done...
Thanks, Kade

Check back with us after she's experienced a few weeks on end with getting 3 or 4 hours of sleep every night! They tend to renege on ya! Luckily, mine are FINALLY past that stage!

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"

I bought a few parts in the last week or two. I bought 2 more c5 calipers for the front and I still need one more for the rear. I am going to run the front dual piston c5 corvette calipers on all 4 corners with the 13 1/4" cobra rotors. I also purchased a ididit tilt column with the ignition switch built into the column that I should have Friday, I will get some pics this weekend. I hope to start on installing the truck top this weekend or next.

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"

No turning back now It definatelly needs a hair cut to make it look right. We are going to take 1 1/2" out of the front and 1" out of the back. Still a ton of work to be done, it is just sitting there in the final pics.

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"

I been watching you build for a while now and have been wondering why your welding a metal roof to your blazer? why not just build a truck? just wondering once again.

Anyone can have a "truck", not everyone can have what I am building and it is what I wanted to do with the blazer. How many of these have you seen @ the shows?????? How many trucks have you seen @ shows????? That is why I am doing this, and I want to stand out in the crowd not blend in
Why would you want to spend this kind of money and have something that anyone can build and be just like the guy parked next to you??? I just believe in doing things different and not trying to follow the leader.

I fully agree and that is why I am selling Low Buck and starting to plan out my Blazer project, and yes it will stand out but still blend in if you know what I mean.

Trazer is looking good! How are the sleepless nights going? My son is now 15 months and loves car and trucks and spending time with Dad at the shows. So keep plugging along on the Trazer but don't stay away from him too long because you will miss allot!
