Well, I've been removing panels so we have access to hard to reach places for when I take the body in for blasting.
Trying to put this pig on a diet, so I got out the hole-saw and dimple die set.
So how much weight did I cut? Well, I have some more hole not shown, but from both sides, I lost over ONE POUND. Not one pound for each side but ONE POUND FOR BOTH FREAKING SIDES.
Oh well, it looks cool till we install the fenders.

Me too! I'm ready for another ride, I've just about recovered from the last pass.
Yeah, I miss driving the thing.
It just a lot work is being done the tub that motor news have been nonexistent. Block work is done. I need to clean up my engine stand and mount the block.
Have new pistons for more compression. I had flat tops before, but the skirts were starting to deform and measured undersize. So the new pistons are made out better material.
Upgrading the rod bolts ARP 2000.
My engine builder informed me some work on the rods and rebalancing the crank is what is left on the short block.

It is going to be awhile. I'm out of money, so I have the tub back. I currently working on another project. Hopefully I'll be done with the project at the end of the month and start doing my own work on the blazer.
