Congats! What does it look like now? Did you get rid of the other car?

hotrodhomi · 01-31-2009, 04:19 PM

Need pics or it didn't happen

LUV2XCLR8 · 01-31-2009, 04:27 PM

**lks dcvn** · 01-31-2009, 04:51 PM

Also Congrats - and we need to see some pix...

Blaz-air · 01-31-2009, 07:55 PM

Check out the blazer that Rockcrln had in the for sale section here.
It is headed straight to Porterbuilt to get the chassis and Nate's touch done to it. Big, cool things planned.

bouncytruck · 01-31-2009, 08:12 PM

That's a heck of a deal!

Blaz-air · 01-31-2009, 08:14 PM

Bouncy I still have the 47 convertible but it is now bagged, well at least the front is. I still need to do the rear.

Carter --

That is my dream car. I love the 46-48 Ford Coupes and the convertibles are the berries. How long have you had it. Post some more pics if you can.

Good luck on the Blazer.

Congrats Carter!
You know I'm jealous now. A Porterbuilt chassis will be sweet.
Will I see you at the Kansas Goodguys in it?

hotrodhomi · 01-31-2009, 11:53 PM

sweet. What are your plans for it? Are you getting any sheet metal with it, ie. bedsides?

Blaz-air · 02-01-2009, 12:00 AM

Yes, I am getting the replacement stuff. I plan a 67 front but from there..... who knows!

Carter

Rokcrln · 02-01-2009, 02:11 AM

I am glad it went to a good home and now I can say when it is done "ya that old thing, it used to be mine!"

Hey Carter for your 47 how about this set up that I just did today! Low and it will handle like it was on rails.

Also here is a link to the How-To for it.

**Yukon Jack** · 02-01-2009, 10:43 AM

Congrats on the purchase - I'm sure you will make a wicked Blazer!

You might try this guy

http://www.carterhickmandesigns.com/wordpress/
He might even get it done faster if he was interested in that type of blazer, but who knows.

Musclerodz · 02-01-2009, 04:52 PM

That is cool Carter you finally got a Blazer. Don't forget to look my way when looking for parts for it.

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-01-2009, 10:56 AM

Nope, done e-mailed a few guys about doing one for me with no luck

**lolife99** · 02-01-2009, 11:09 AM

Carter,... if you need a 67-68 grill give me a shout. I have a couple. I've been collecting parts to make a complete front clip,... but I'd rather see it on your blazer. I also know where a hood is,... but I haven't looked at it.

FuelCellGuy · 02-01-2009, 11:24 AM

I am sure it will be awesome when finished.

Blaz-air · 02-01-2009, 04:57 PM

Mike, I will be spreading the love out all over the place. I will be in contact with you for sure on some stuff. I know its not the PT type, but I will post it over on our "OTHER" boards as well.

Carter

72BlckButy · 02-02-2009, 09:33 AM

Definitely can't wait for some build pics on this one. Best of luck with the build up Carter!
