can't belive I'm building a 4x4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

oilyrag80 · 11-30-2006, 03:25 PM

This is the first out of 5 blazers I'm leaving a 4x4

I think I might like it!
Let me know what you think!

Sweet, do you live kinda downtownish towards the East side? I went to Rincon early on then moved out to the Nowest side! Now I live where the snow fies in the 4 corners. I have a 4X4 and have contemplated going 2wd, but I like the way they look 4X4 so I haven't had the heart!!

Looks like it is going to be too nice to take off-road...

I think you've opened a can of worms, so to speak.

I remember when my frame was like that...

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-30-2006, 07:09 PM

Hey Kurt, what Blazer is that in the background? (White)

I think your right, it was white when he got it wasn't it?

ecameron87 · 11-30-2006, 08:13 PM

Nice looking frame. What kind of shape is the body in? What do you plan on doing with it? I am in Tucson as well. Good to see another one get started.

msgross · 11-30-2006, 08:16 PM

did you powder coat eveything or just paint, looks nice BTW.

Wow, I'm impressed.

It was before alot of body work/rust repair in truth, I wish it had only needed paint.

I missed that thread the first time... thanks. Both your projects look great. I have a hard time finishing anything when I start more than one huge project. Good luck.

RustyParts · 12-01-2006, 09:30 AM

Must be nice to live where you can leave things outside when they're finished.
Really looks nice, can't wait to see the finished product.

**Yukon Jack** · 12-01-2006, 01:41 PM

Frame looks great!

Pop's72 · 12-01-2006, 09:10 PM

Looks like a nice start to your project... keep it up!
