Project: POS!!!!

[Esteban86K5]

The wife named it.

I'll be cleaning it up before I weld it. It's not as bad as it looks. It just surface rust fom sitting under my motorhome for the last few months.

At least it's a start!!!

New frame for the blazer?

More details Esteban!

 

[dodgedude99]

custom rectangular exhaust pipes?

 

[Esteban86K5]

I guess I should ad some more details.

2x5 .188 wall tubing.

It's going to be the frame rails for my 73 Project. It follows the same lines as the stock frame only it doesn't come back down in the front or rear and it doesn't pinch in the front. I'll be cutting the front and back after I get the the springs mounted so I won't have any extra overhang.

he's not actually working on the blazer....they were probably in the way and he had to move them. So now because he's touched them it's "working on the blazer"

Your , I made those today. So yes I am actually working on it.

Surprisingly, with only four temp crossmembers tacked in place, this frame has less flex then the stock frame.

Cause the stock frame needs the body.

This thread is funny, I am very interested in this build up though. Nothing like starting from scratch, I wish I had instead of buying my Blazer and fixing everthing once a week since then

Needs a hell of a lot more than just a body. My frame on the 86 flexed so much it would twist the body enough to pop the half top. You could hear the sheetmetal pop back and forth as I went threw any twisted sections.

Yeah it's a damn Furd. That is the REAL project POS!!!! I have had a lot of problems with that thing but since it's paid off, I need to keep it for a couple more years. Next one will definately be a Chevy.

I got tired of doing that after every run on my old truck so I figured I'd start from scratch and make it like I want it from the get go. I'm sure I'll be modifing it later since I can't seem to leave anything alone, but this will work for me for a long time.
