Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
Nice addition to the house, it really fits with pitch matching the house. Would make a nice snowboard hill...enjoy your new space.Almost back to the build?

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
Getting ever closer.
Have a bench I want to build and still have lots of 'arranging' to do but yeah...I'm considering bringing the blazer home if not today, very soon. Priced out the roll up doors last week too... ![]() Blazer update: Received the 4spd tilt column this week. ![]() |

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
The auto shifter you have (3-speed) only needs the shift plate replaced, give Summit a call and they can send it out, it was like $15, the shifter and everything else is the same, the pattern is on the plate, so don't sell it!!

Okay, I'll end this hi-jacking interim with a few "finished for now" pics.
Siding, insulation & sheet-rock are being scheduled for next years money explosion event. (having two exterior walls STILL not insulated in the kitchen, I'm thinking I've done good to get this far. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
That miniature rollup door is SO cute!
Could that dark sillouette in the background possibly be the wife slowly shaking her head in disbelief that you're photographing a garage to post on the Interweb?? LOL.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
And here I thought the mini roll up door was your access to the Bat Cave. Guess I was wrong.
