77 2wd Blazer build

It has been a long process that started over 2 years ago now in my garage. I have had very very little help with it along the way. I know I should have had this listed in the builds section, but always had it in the general forum question asking location. Either way, here is a link to my progress.

I am getting very close to the engine making some noise in a good way and being able to start the interior and turn this project into something I can enjoy while driving.

Spent about 12 or so hours on it over the last week or so and all you can see is a carburetor and air cleaner. Been cleaning up the wiring and tying up loose ends...

Re: 77 2wd Blazer build

As always, thanks for the comments guys. Been hard at it still. If you have ever done a full reconstruction where the type of bolt actually mattered and not that you were lucky enought to find one laying around that will work, you can appreciate where I am right now. Time, time and more time making sure it is right...

Had a bit of a setback with the wiring because I tried to loom and route it before I made sure it worked. Bad idea. I decided to pull it all out and make sure it works first, then clean it up. I am now wired - ugly, but functional. The lights even came on when I pulled the switch!

Should fire the motor this weekend. I made a long list of things to do and keep crossing them off as I go.
