looking good.

vtblazer · 08-15-2005, 05:27 AM

Oh, how sweet it is!

Nice that you get a longer 'blazer season' than we do up here, I'm already planning for winter hibernation.

Fantastic work, restored nothin', it's NEW!

BigRand · 08-15-2005, 08:04 AM

Very Nice.

Huck · 08-15-2005, 08:13 AM

Just a suggestion, you might want to pull that front bumper before you attempt to put the new grill on. Will make installation a whole lot easier. Looks fantastic!!!

Planned on it, just checking the fit and wanted to see how it looked.

**Tom Vogel** · 08-15-2005, 10:24 AM

That IS beutiful! Now you need to start looking for one for her. Thats how I got started building these trucks. First I built a shortbed for my daughter; and then I got a two wheel drive for my son. The wife is a whole lot more understanding about procurments when its for the kids... you know ;.)

Hey Orangeuavol,
Great looking ride. I'm impressed. I didn't think I would ever say it, but that Blazer looks good in Orange. You know you're getting props when you hear that from a Dawg.

You might find some intereset in my site: http://www.clayharrison.com/truck/

You'll be espeically interested in the "GaRed Paint" and "Everything Else" sections of the site.

Best of luck finishing up that K5... see you on 10/8.

Cheers, clay
Go Dawgs! Sic 'Em...

MikeS · 08-15-2005, 03:51 PM

You mean you ain't done yet!? What's taking you so long!

Oh yeah...Looks great!

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-15-2005, 05:15 PM

Simply Wicked, someday I hope mine looks half as nice as that

Sweet blazer! That's one serious tailgatin' rig you got. GaRed looks much better than Crimson any day
