is fuse good ?
Haha
Oh that’s easy. Wait for it to blow up. Seems to be an every time I drive it occurrence.
The paint job on this thing is just hideous. Swirls throughout the panels. Lots of drips. They just rattle caned and didn’t mask anything off. I hate it. Also, it’s black which is the worst color out here. When that summer sun comes down on it it’ll be too hot to work on/lean on haha
doesn't matter what color it is, then any metal will be to hot to touch. even in the shade

Found me a good hood.
Engineered vintage about to cause a divorce.
Did you tell her how much you appreciate good hood?
POV: me in a couple months
Fify
Just kidding, I’m showing her these memes. She’s 100% on board with whatever I want on the truck as long as I keep lying about how much the parts actually are.
75miles trip to the Desert Bar where I ran sound for a band out of L.A. good times in the K5
Didn’t miss a beat.

After taking that beating down that rocky trail of a road. A few things became apparent.
1. These seats are not going to work.
I want to keep the original seat brackets so the passenger side folds forward. I really don’t want to lose that function. I could barely stay in the driver seat for a lot of that trail. Kept slipping about and the back of the driver seat must be busted as it keep leaning further and further back
Ended up using two jackets behind my back to sit far enough forward to actually drive.
2. I need to get the exhaust routed out the back of the truck or at the minimum turned down towards the ground. I had the rear window down because I was worried it would break having it up and I got fumed out pretty good. Massive headache last night from it.
3. A noise appeared and it sounds like brakes to me. So I’ll have to track that down. Definitely coming from the rear passenger side.
On the highway it was smooth as butter and I am happy to be behind the wheel of a K5 again.
Some of my plans have changed as far as paint. I’ve decided to definitely paint it back to the original factory color. This will save me tons of prep and work as the firewall and door jambs/interior are already the correct color.

Didn't take the good road from Desert Bar? Standard Wash ?
PRP should have something in a suspension seat that will work with factory brackets.has been in my back burner ideas for a while.
I really like them in the dune buggy, would be super sweet in the burb.

So cool to see a little payoff with the Blazer hitting the road and trail. Congrats.
There’s only one rd to the desert bar out in Parker. The way in I was the only one on the trail. But on the way out tons of people and RZR’s made me speed up through it.
I definitely need new leaf springs bushings as well haha
