Blazer progress pics
My digital is broken- so I borrowed my sisters camera. I am going insane without being able to post pics of all the progress we are making. A few weeks ago we:
put on emblems (CST and K/5 Blazer) Set on the front inner and outer fenders Undercoated the inners and all the chrome bumpers Put together the front inner and outer grill Got a few pieces powder coated (Pics to follow) |

That is going to be nicer than when it first came out of the factory! Great pics...I like the idea of coating the inside of the bumpers, always fighting rust around here.

Your Blazer looks GREAT! I hope mine looks 1/2 as good when it's complete.

Thanks for all the compliments!
Paul72- That is what I am afraid of...too nice to drive! Here in Washington it rains 9 months out of the year too! We have pretty much decieded that the top is probably going to be staying on all the time. Progress has slowed a little because we had to replace the core support. The old one was a little bent and rusty, so we welded in a patch panel under the battery and fixed it up, but now that we have all the new straight panels on it isn't fitting up right. Luckily we had a nice straight one from a parts blazer, so we had it sand blasted and are welding in a patch and repainting it now.  We will get there soon!

Looks awesome! I've powder coated all of the metal components around my rear seat and my roll bar.
Keep up the great work!

15x10 Eagle Alloys- I got them for $385 shipped on ebay. Rimzonewheels. They were sold "as is with some blemishes" But I can't find a single scratch much less a blemish! They make the blazer if you ask me! I love them!!!!

mknmiller1- I am getting a vent window from Randy (teeitup) I just need to send out the check.
Cethern- That is the original blue color- Dark Blue Poly PPG 508 - The poly means metallic I guess- looks nice eh?? I love it too! Too many hours and dollars in this one, but we CAN'T stop now!!!
