I really like those rims and the color is great too!

bouncytruck · 09-17-2008, 12:24 PM

Looks great, but I thought it looked great before. What else are you planning to do?

jmuck · 09-17-2008, 01:54 PM

I am going to redo the interior in black. I rewired the entire blazer and put in a new fuse block. Repainted the entire thing, smoothed up firewall and added fender wells.

72BlckButy · 09-17-2008, 02:06 PM

That was, is and will be one sick Blazer!!!

What color interior did you have in it?

How can you not know where Nacogdoches is? It's about 100 miles southeast of Dallas. Close to the Louisiana border.

I don't get around much.

**Nobby** · 09-17-2008, 09:07 PM

Hey Jmuck,I sure would like to park our blazers side by side and get a pic at CTC.Last year we passed each other and I never saw you again.

hotrodhomi · 09-17-2008, 09:50 PM

All black interior is going to get HOT. But it will also look hot, just watch your as$ when you sit down.

**lolife99** · 09-17-2008, 10:03 PM

Stunning!!! I love the new wheels. I know everyone has them,... but it looks perfect.

918733 · 09-22-2008, 03:27 PM

Thats the Chevy dealership in Nac! I used to work next door at Tipton

jmuck · 09-24-2008, 08:47 AM

How long ago did you work at Tipton? I have lots of friends over there.

918733 · 09-24-2008, 09:13 AM

Its been about 5 years now. I probly know a few of the same people.

NTR72GMC · 10-14-2008, 02:42 PM

Any more updated pics??????????????

Rokcrln · 10-14-2008, 06:07 PM

That looks great!!
A few questions for you, did you go with suicide doors? What are the little Grey box's on the back side of the B pillars? Will it roll when it is all the way down or are you dragging? Last one is on the rear wheel wells they look flat on the top, is that for any particular reason? I am asking this because I think your turned out great (both times) and I am just getting ready to start on my 70 2WD so it is in the planning stages right now.

Thanks,
Kevin

Man, I wish I would have known the Blazer was a board member's, I would have run over faster to see you folks before you headed off into the mall area (I guess). Saw you at Edgewater on Saturday for Cruising. Beautiful job on the Blazer.

Well maybe we'll get to hook up at next years Cruising the Coast.

gringoloco · 10-15-2008, 09:00 AM

What did you end up doing for hood hinges? I see you were forward tilt, but now it looks like they are cowl mounted...

That grey box behind the B pillar is a foam cushin to hold the side panel tight. the front cross member and the rear hangers drag when you let it all the way down but thats cool for throwing sparks. The back wheel wells are trailer fenders. Single trailer fenders were to smal so I have to get trailer fenders for 2 axles and cut them down. The interior is finished now and I will post pics as soon as I can take some.
