76 K5: Megasquirt EFI, Electric Fan, and ICON Coilovers

Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures... We were having way too much fun mobbing the hell out of it to stop for pictures. And I mobbed it straight into the side of a hill, destroying my track bar mount on the chassis side, and started the dreaded steering box rip... Got lucky enough to have a bump stop mount right next to my track bar that we were able to bolt it to so we could get limped out of there at least.

Track bar mount is repaired, steering, not so much... Time to spend more money I guess.

Pics of the carnage?
 
If @sreidmx or @bergerking have them, go ahead and put em up. Incriminating evidence... It failed at the weld. That was the first weld i did on this truck, using a crappy 120v wire feed. Didn't get anywhere near enough heat into it. Funny thing is I realized after that first weld it wasn't gonna work, so went and borrowed a bigger welder, but forgot about going over the with an extra pass afterwards...
 
Kinda disappeared for a while there... Nothing really to update yet, but some big things are coming for the blazer, hopefully by the end of this month... Just got back home from being out of town for school for 3 weeks, now going on vacation out of state in a week. Hoping to start ordering pieces while I'm on vacation, and have them starting to arrive around the time I'll be getting back from vacation... Will update when the pieces start coming in.
