Lots to do, line-x the floor, seats mounted, exhaust, wiring, stereo, vintage air, roll cage, rear bumper...

I'm working to have it done by fall. Hopefully test drive it in a few weeks.

http://www.offroaddesign.com/ made the bumper, doesn't fit just right on the lower side, had to weld it on. Fits great everywhere else (I think they specialize in 73 + up) I'm happy with it, they have great products.

HvyChevy · 06-23-2009, 11:23 PM

Yeah, suburban rear seat...
Not sure if the fronts are going to mount. Need a passenger seat bracket that will tip and slide forward

very nice!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 06-24-2009, 08:33 AM

Beautiful color..

teamradrz1 · 06-24-2009, 12:15 PM

Looks awesome that color is getting very popular around here but that doesn't take anything away from it because you just don't see nice Blazers anymore I only see the daily drivers that need restored (not that there is anything wrong with that I'm just sayin)

I was at a cruise in this last weekend and a father was telling his son what a good custom job I did cutting the roof off my truck, I set him straight. Even though the 67 Camaro next to me got more looks mine was way more unique.

red71cheyenne · 06-24-2009, 10:35 PM

That color is awesome! Great progress and hope you make it by your deadline. Wish I could make some headway!

**Yukon Jack** · 06-25-2009, 10:01 AM

Very nice, I like the bumper also!

HvyChevy · 07-10-2009, 01:08 PM

Line-X did a great job of matching the color (no metalic though) kevlar top coat. Pricey, but should last forever.

HvyChevy · 07-10-2009, 01:11 PM

still need to mount the gas line cover and make a bumper

teamradrz1 · 07-10-2009, 01:36 PM

that last picture is that a standard rear roll pan or something custom you did? I really like it!

VA72C10 · 07-10-2009, 01:59 PM

Looks slick, I really like the colormatched Line-X

tdkosta · 07-10-2009, 02:20 PM

Very nice work. I love that you relocated the tailgate latch to the inside. I'm wanting to do the same eventually.

CTENTA1 · 07-10-2009, 02:49 PM

That's a Bad looking Blazer. Paint came out really good. What size lift do you have on it? What about rims and tire's, what do you have in mind? The rims make the truck you Know! Keep the pic's coming

Just a standard roll pan, I didn't go with a license plate notch cause I figured I'd mount it on the bumper or spare tire.
Thanks

6" lift (shackle flip in the rear) 1" body lift

Wheels & tires will be last. Going for 37's. Undecided on wheels still. I have some one ton axles to mount, just trying to keep it as low to the ground as I can, while still working on it.

Hope to get a bunch done this weekend (if I don't pass out), only forcasting 98 degrees this weekend.....lol
