Re: New life for an old 2wd, farm Blazer

More misc. pics of painted stuff.
I guess to save time, and get to end of the thread, I could just post a handfull of build pics, and skip all the minute details. LOL!

Re: New life for an old 2wd, farm Blazer

Having a little fun with Joel. I think GM got it wrong when they used sandlewood for the dash color, on the parchment interiors. Tried to talk him in to black. I was wasting my breath!

More engine stuff. I found a couple of really nice vacuum balls at the local yard. The blazer sat without a hood for some time, so the original was pretty sun baked.

I knew when I typed it, that there MUST be someone out there with my dry, twisted, sense of humor, that would appreciate it!
Here are some more misc. pieces that needed some black paint.

More shiny stuff. And having a little more fun with Joel. If it was my blazer, I'd probably have to have the extra hundred cubes!

Man, nothing looks sweeter on these old blazers, than fresh lower mouldings. (except WOODGRAIN mouldings! LOL!)

Re: New life for an old 2wd, farm Blazer

Need to replace u-joints in the driveshaft, and get another load of misc. parts ready to paint. Also need to tear apart the vent windows for some fresh paint and parts.

Re: New life for an old 2wd, farm Blazer

Tri-plus inner fenders are excellent pieces. I didn't so much as die grind a single hole. For $100 apiece, I don't think I could bring myself to patch an original ever again!
