Once I get this thing started, its strait to the Tranny Shop, then the Exhaust shop then the alignment shop. Then its going to be all about driving the bugs out of it. How much more do you have to do to have your blazer back on the road?

Really just final alignment of panels, and the interior...then throw the grille and bumpers on as soon as I get the grille. Will be putting in a lot of time in the next week to hopefully get it done. It's a running driving truck now...less than 500 miles on a fully rebuilt tranny, new torque converter, fully rebuilt engine, hot tanked orginal rad, new brakes, new wiring, new suspension, new mounts, etc etc etc....

After a week of sitting you push the gas pedal; and touch the key and it starts right up
