Thats what I figured, and for the price of there "Bonzai Landing Gear" shocks to add to the coil over ones.... I could get a set of kings or somehting. And yah I know jumping will be included, Just let me tell myself it wont :D Makes me feel better about not ruining my blazer.

Consider boxing your frame and or bracing before jumping/ going crazy in the dunes. Ask heath :deal:
 
Yah i know :doah: id much rather just run on the drags and have some fun drivin around than actually tryin to launch it. And im pretty sure i know the whoops down by the lake that heath was hittin and thats nuts, i cant even go fast with my quad on em. Dirt bikes are the only thing ive ever seen succesfully go fast over those
 
Well it looks like im gettin a new tail gate, new doors, weatherstripping, and core support... $500:eek1: Damm im a sucker for a good deal :haha:. Went to the guys shop after work, little did I know he owns his own body shop. Had some cool old cars he was workin on in there. Tailgate and core support looked nice! Some scratches from sitting around but no dents or anything, they are still all black primer from when he bought them :D Hes gonna bring the doors and such in sometime soon. But he mentioned that he doesnt have anyone workin for him and that hes real backed up, and I said I wouldnt mind learning how to do some body work from someone with experiance (he said its been his bread and butter for 30 years). He said yah for sure!:thumb: I didnt think about it till I left but I think ill see if I could work off the stuff and/or pay part and work part. I did give him some cash I had on hand so he doesnt sell it to someone and he wrote me up and reciept and all. Pretty cool day I must say:D

It will be nice not having to fix the ugly doors (got some rust here and there and the door jams are pretty ugly) and my tailgate has some cancer in spots so new sheet metal will be AWESOME!!!:thumb::woot::woot:Then all I need is the cowl hood (when I find an insane deal of course) and the sheet metal will be all sorts of flossy:pimp:. And maybe I could work off a nice paint job too:whistle:
 
Just out of curiousity, where was the guy's shop? Reminds me of a guy I used to deliver GM parts to about ten years ago out your way.

Not the guy I was thinking about. He was down toward Fruitport a bit. Had a couple muscle cars tucked in the corner of his shop.

Can't say the place you're talking about rings a bell. Has been ten years though.

Maybe Tops is the place? I dont know of many but hes always got old muscle cars at his shop over by fruitport
 
Ugh, I don't remember honestly. You went down 31 a way toward that big mall then over into the country to the east a few minutes. He was near one of the big commercial body shops but I don't remember his name. Grumpy middle aged guy then. Think the muscle cars were his own because they had covers on them, dust, and parts stacked on them.
 
nicely done Adam, hope the bodywork schooling works out for ya.

Yah would be cool to learn some tips from somebody that really knows what they are doing :D. If he lets me work some of it off bada$$, if not I can at least learn something so thats cool.
 
Yah and the plan will be to gut my doors and tailgate and put everything in the new stuff, then blast all the old stuff, repair any bad spots and either keep as spares or sell em to a ck5er in need :D
 
Yeah, but the half doors are free, and you get to use that Argon bottle you've been tormenting me about :deal:
 
For those that didnt see on fb....

Heres my brand spanky new grill my buddy had at his house that he gave me fo FREE:D Hes also got a front bumper too all chrome and shiny any new...

Looks like Ima need to get some GMC emblems, but I think ill wait to switch everything when I paint the truck.

BTW, ive always been a GMC fan over bowtie.

Ill Paint the headlight bezels to match the gray on the grill
