Re: A 2WD Blazer FINALLY!
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. 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. Marc |

Re: A 2WD Blazer FINALLY!
Congrats Carter!
You know I'm jealous now. A Porterbuilt chassis will be sweet. Will I see you at the Kansas Goodguys in it?

Re: A 2WD Blazer FINALLY!
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. http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/81...ll-how-to.html Yes it is drivable at this height!! Kevin LFD Inc. |

He might even get it done faster if he was interested in that type of blazer, but who knows.

Re: A 2WD Blazer FINALLY!
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.
