Thanks! The gears are what I really noticed over everything else. Man did that make a killer difference.

I've been saying this I can't believe what 4.10 did for my stock 350

I did lose the passenger front hub cap, I dont think i actually had it pounded on. I looked all over and cannot find where it fell off

This is why we can't have nice things.

Is it sitting a little squat in the rear or is it camera perspective? Guess I am asking is did all that new tube weight drop it a little?

 

[76zimmer]

Just needs bigger tars

 

[Deuling]

No it sits high in the rear if anything.

 

[skunked]

are the rear shocks not on?

Nice to see it moving again.

and I run the same AGM battery in the 911.

 

[Deuling]

They are in. This one gives a better shot of the level its sitting. Pretty even IMO.

 

[skunked]

maybe those are your old brackets I see hanging down

Correct. In case the new ones do not work out

Me and nate spent 30 hours in the shop. Then finally went home last night and slept, and finished all the wiring and got the dash back in today after another 6 hours. Im beat, I didnt even stop to take many pics of the real progress (I know right, even from the pic whore himself....)

So all I really have is some lame grinding shots and some poser shots. But We got a $hit load of stuff done between the two blazers this weekend. And I am exhausted.



Upgraded nates radius arms and added bumpstops and relocated shocks.






I got all of these things done...





Only pics I got of the other 3 frame tie ins...



Sent some bars from the a pillar tie ins up to the shock mounts, and a little kicker to the frame..





And now for the shiny and or poser pictures....


2 new rear tires




Fuel pressure reg

 

[Deuling]

Tomorrow I will get ins on it and stop at SOS and get registration. But other than securing the jack and tool box. Its good to go


And on that note. I am completely and utterly worn out. But this picture makes it all worth it....

I posted the pics of those a few pages back.

Looking good Adam. I guess you aren't going to go back and add that big dimpled gusset or back to the future deal inside the upside down arrowhead?

 

[Babaganoosh]

Good job dudes.

 

[Chevy305]

My slow work internet is crying trying to load your last post.

Impressive wrench rally though. I just wonder how many beers were consumed in the process...

I will later. I want to make it cool, but don't want to spend the time right now and have to rush it. Paint grinds off pretty quick. I had to grind lots of paint off to add extra bars and such anyways.

1 thirty rack to be precise.
