1990 K5 Build ( Ol' Blue ) : Rocker rust...

[tRustyK5]

I've been once, in 2003.

I won't make it this year either. I have money issues, and passport/citizenship paper issues. Plus I'd have to work on my Blazer and actually get it road and trail worthy.

purple tube doors!?

 

[tRustyK5]

dark metallic red. I should have kept those doors...

 

[bix]

They look badass

We should make some before i move,,,,. but first finish both blazers, the pontiac, the current garage project, LS swap on mine, both tailpans, out of province yours, and then go to BB together and break it all!

 

[bix]

Oh.. and the tahoe seats i almost bought for the blazer... i think i need help..

 

[tRustyK5]

lol!

DIY sells tube doors that are killer. Why re-invent the wheel?

The current garage project is my #1 priority for the foreseeable future. I gotta make a list of material and other crap I need for that.

Just sas brackets and a drag link was all.

The $ was .79 last week, highest it's been since last July. Figured id order while it was good, heard it's only sposed to get worse.

Don't jinx it

 

[bix]

Don't jinx it

If i didnt jinx it, you sure did

 

[Bent77]

Go weld something, eh?

 

[bix]

I have nothing to weld... except a tailpan. But i don't have time for that project before i move i don't think. Im in my last year of trade school right now for crane operating, and its super condensed and homework filled... maybe i will tackle it.. i could also relocate my rear shocks, and put on the f250 shock towers i got out of the junk yard on.. and get bilsteins also... or.... LOOK! squirrel!

 

[Bent77]

Well having a future job is kinda important

 

[bix]

This is true.. I will hopefully be able to tackle the doors this weekend and get those mirrors shipped off, and the old doors on craigs list for someone to pick up.
