Re: 79' 2wd blazer

Got some work done today, was able to pull the front end pretty much apart. Gonna pick up another engine stand and pull it outta there soon. Also gotta order up some black paint so I can start sraying stuff that im reusing like the core support and such.

Re: 79' 2wd blazer

Nice job! That looks like a lot of greasy work. I know I have it ahead of me too. Love seeing the progress. It helps keep the motivation high.

Re: 79' 2wd blazer

What's the plan for the frame?
Paint or powdercoat?
You are going to have a super nice blazer, when you are done!
