got my update today.......blazer will be done monday afternoon.......just as i feared the price of the bill will kill the completion of the 4wd project.......they found the comp, the esc, and the dizzy bad.....this explains why i was having that wierd sparking problem.....any way i had them do the alignment (it needed new lower ball joints), and fix the a/c while they had it (this is the most expensive part of the bill).......then i still gotaa get it to the exhaust shop.....be looking for the 4wd project hitting the parts board soon....i will try to sell it complete first

**N2TRUX** · 10-21-2005, 07:55 PM

Sorry to hear it's taken an expensive turn for the worse. Your going to appreciate that a/c working though. Keep us posted when you get it from the shop....

Jebb1978 · 10-21-2005, 08:45 PM

DOH! I am sorry to hear that buddy. Sounds like the Blazer is going to be sweet though!

sixty8c10 · 10-21-2005, 09:19 PM

i'll be sure to get pics as soon as i get it back.....so you can see how the transformation turned out.........will that be all?.....i doubt it....i really like how it turned out...look for it to get lowered, maybe some 96 impala 17" wheels...oh the possibilties.....

sixty8c10 · 10-22-2005, 08:52 PM

i couldn't wait..i went down to the shop and took a pic:

what do you think?....it will be making a trip to kansas for thanksgiving.

Jebb1978 · 10-22-2005, 10:32 PM

Looks Awesome! Congratulations on a job well done!

sixty8c10 · 10-24-2005, 09:34 PM

i drove the blazer today, not far, just from the repair shop to the exhaust shop.............but i was grinning ear to ear!......maybe the open headers had something to do with it.

Ric83 · 10-25-2005, 08:29 AM

Very sweet. Congrats!!

hotrodhomi · 10-25-2005, 01:15 PM

Awwh, the sweet sound of open headers in the morning. I love it!

sixty8c10 · 10-25-2005, 07:52 PM

picked the blaze up from the exhaust shop today......drove it home......i promise to put upsome pics as soon as i get it cleaned up......the saga continues

sixty8c10 · 10-26-2005, 10:03 PM

i got a guy willing to trade a paint job on the blazer for what is left of the 4wd project... he will do all body work(its not much), and painting, plus pay for half of the supplies.....what do you think?

1974gmc · 10-28-2005, 01:53 AM

i guess it would be a good deal if you dont need the cash

Jebb1978 · 11-01-2005, 03:31 AM

.....what do you think?[/QUOTE]
I thought that you needed to drive it as soon as possible so you could tear down your current driver?? Do I have this thread confused with another one?

If you can part with it for a while and this guy knows what he is doing, I would say go for it.

sixty8c10 · 11-01-2005, 06:07 PM

i fixed my major problem with my current driver while i had the blazer for a few days (it needed brakes, real bad), the rest of what i got to do to it cosmetic and other upgrades.......yes, i have seen some of the guy's work it is good quality and he says he can get it back to me in about 10 days.

Jebb1978 · 11-01-2005, 06:46 PM

Go for it I say! Before he takes it, can we get those pics? Then we can have a reference when it comes back from paint.

**N2TRUX** · 11-01-2005, 11:47 PM

First off congrats on getting the Blazer on the road. I have to say I admire your persistance. If you can get your buddy to paint it, I say go for it. Just get the paint job before you give him the parts truck....

sixty8c10 · 11-03-2005, 10:54 PM

with this new daylight savings time i have not been able to get off work early enough to get pics of the blaze after i washed it.....i dropped it off for paint today...he said to come by sat for some pics in the rough.....says it should be ready for its first coat sun afternoon, but i gotta work sun so i can't get pics of that.

Wow, I did get ahead of myself!

sixty8c10 · 11-04-2005, 01:33 PM

he called me this morning.....said he couldn't wait to get to work on it....he went out and started sanding it last night...his only request with the parts truck was that i assemble it, just to ensure i still had all the hardware...personally i think its just to reassure he's getting a complete truck, but whatever....i'm just so happy....this is my first build that i ever managed to keep around long enough to make it to paint (i have always sold them while they were still in primer)

sixty8c10 · 11-11-2005, 09:54 PM

finally got some progress pics here's one of the blazer's body work progress, pulled it out of the shop just for a pic then right back in it went.

here's one of the assembly progress of the pick-up, it sure made it nice when somebody else started to pay for its assembly

phantom dually · 11-11-2005, 10:17 PM

Great thread man!! You really motivate me!!

sixty8c10 · 11-15-2005, 12:15 AM

you guys have ot to be getting tired of checking this post, but its time for another update:i finally got the pick-up put together and running (pics wednesday) except it was too dark to get pics when i fininshed it up tonight. I did manage to get a couple of pics of the blazer prior to putting the trim back on, here they are:

bad_burb · 11-15-2005, 02:07 AM

I don't think you have to worry about people getting tired of checking this thread. I only can speak for myself by saying I love to see the progress projects are making. Like many others have said before me, it inspires me. The blazer has changed so much in so little time, it's amazing. I look forward to seeing it when you lower it (if you still decide to) and what ever else is on the plate. Keep the updates coming.

bad_burb · 11-15-2005, 02:08 AM

I forgot to add that it looks great with the paint.

Ric83 · 11-15-2005, 12:31 PM

Wow!! That is coming along sooo nicely. It's looking really good.

I deffinately don't get tired of checking back. I actually look forward to it.
