Blazer is really done. Last pictures while she is still mine.

I need clearance at the top to so its more than just ground clearance to be gained.

That reminds me of some friends from Bozeman. They stripped down a 14ff and shaved it then upon re-assemble discovered they shaved the top, not bottom. :doah:

Got a big weekend comin' up on Veronica(blazer).

Haven't had much time to work on it since blazer bash so I've been looking forward to this weekend all week long! Not sure how much photo worthy stuff will be done but if there is any, i'll snap some for sure.

Hopefully by Sunday night i'll be left with rear suspension work and nothing else.

Haven't been this pumped up to work on it for a while!!!:woot:
 
Bada$$! Even if its not photo worthy work you can always snap a few pics of the rig so we remember what it looks like :D
 
to done list,

Second tube door painted.
First tube door installed.
Fuel pump vaccum line replaced with steel line.
205/203 fill with gear lub 465 topped off.
Vent tubes for the afore mentioned rerouted to the rear of the truck.
Shift linkages reconnected and the floor pan set back in to place
Passenger submarine belt reattached

Tomorrows to do list,

Install second tube door
Finish bolting down the floor pan (need washers)

Quick shot of the tube doors. Kinda hard to get a good side shot of the rig where its currently siting. Fairly narrow area.

Nah, no cupholders for me. At some point I'd like the camel back setup on the back of the seat.

Dust is gettin' pretty bad huh. Need to two it 20 miles before I drive it.
 
two it????

I say, lets wear goggles and a dust mask and go for it!
 
Got one of my Bilsteins installed last night, Gona try and get the seond front one on today as well as a stubborn radiator hose issue.

Upper hose is close enough to the rear bulkhead its impossible to install without a kink. Couple options to fix the situation. First one would be altering the fitting that goes in the rad. Turning it into a 60* fitting.

Seond one involves scooping a clearance out of the rear bulkhead to come up with the room needed. Then it'd need to be skinned back closed with a sort of box.

If you find yourself cussing at it, you can blame it on me if you want...I'll take the fall for it!:thumb:
 
Which one keeps a easy to find replaceable hose?

Either way doesn't make much difference for the hose itself. I'm gona try the 60* fitting first, if that don't work, I can replace the fitting and then go to the work of cutting the notch.
 
Got home tonight at 12:45 a.m. Worked on production most of the day. Spent a couple hours on a stubborn furnace that didn't want to cooperate. Got it going in the end.

After that, got the second bilstein on, finished up my oil filter adapter and oil lines. Machined the piece to alter the fitting for the 60* elbow. Hope to have that put back together tomorow night.



Windshield wiper motors, The high/low is two seperate ground wires if memory serves. Where does the Power come in at?
 
A couple quick shots of the new shocks up front.
