Okay I am pretty new to the forum. I thought I would start a thread so I could ask all of my stupid questions in one place, instead of making a lot of different post with stupid questions. I have posted a few threads over the last year. I haven't contributed much mainly because I am still learning myself. I have read a lot of post though. I like working on things and I have a lot of broken stuff to prove it. As it stands now I have 4 blazers, 3 work and drive and one is a parts truck (has saved me a lot). I also am working on a formula 233, which occupies most of my time and I have to get it done before I really start on the trucks. Do mostly moderate driving, nor really a trail freak. Anyhow here is the start of my line-up.
This one here a one that I picked up for $400, Had to pull it from the woods, where it had been sitting for god knows how long. Came complete with snakes skins and rat nest. I was told it hadn't run in years because of a faulty starter. Turns out it was the lock cylinder, actually the plastic gear behind the cylinder. I put a push button switch on it and with some pre-start precautions, it started right up. I have since put it back to how it is suppose to be.
I will have to put the t-case from my parts tuck on it, and the dust covers are on order. I was going to sell it for my other projects but once I started it up my girlfriend laid claim to it. So it will probably be around for a while. It has a 350 with 2 barrel carb, PO said it was a motor from a boat he had. But it runs well.
See how happy she is
Oh yeah I thought this was pretty cool. It looks either factory or dealer installed, I found a guy making a model on youtube and it has a sunroof but again it was a model.

Vid of it rolling, not to bad
I also got my 60 and 14ff for my blazer. I have been wanting to put them in but I am waiting to get my lift so I can do pinion angle and driveshaft once. I have been trying to sell the motor, hood and doors, but it is a tough market.
And here is my girlfriends camaro, she is like cars and truck as much as I do. Huge chevy fan, we bought this one wrecked drove it home and swapped the front clip from a donor car.
Were also nascar fans and got to go to our first race at Darlington this year.
Hope the post hasn't been to long, I will post the other 2 blazers as sonn as I get some pics of them.
