Re: Project Swagger
Awesome build! Loving the interior color change as well. So how come it's in a garage now and not the body shop awaiting the paint?

Re: Project Swagger
Really sorry to hear about all the body shop issues. I paid a guy $600 to buy materials and while it was at his house he stole my gas tank and an $80 carb bracket setup that he put on (bought the truck from him) Never saw the money...he supposedly bought the supplies then one day came to work and it was closed down and he couldn't get in to get even his tools.....RIGHT......
I thought of suing him, but I can't stand the litigious society as is....

Re: Project Swagger
Matt, I'm really sorry to hear about the bad body shop deal and him thieving all your parts. I wish you the best of luck and hope you can get your investment back at least. But, your blazer is looking great now!

Re: Project Swagger
I'm sorry to hear about your lost money, parts, and time. That sucks! I wish you the best in litigation, although it's a shame it has to come to that. It's too bad there are so many dishonest people in the world. But atleast your buddy can make it right, and maybe show you the ropes along the way.

Re: Project Swagger
Thanks for the support and kind words, everyone!!
Hey Brian! I'll have some great progress pics in about a week. The serpentine kit and all the accessories should be mounted up. I got my seatbelts restored with Python Restoration so here's a pic of those! Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Project Swagger
Matthew,
This is Owen, the guy you bought the seats from. Is the guy that ripped you off named Martin by any chance? Posted via Mobile Device |

Over the next 2-3 weeks the wiring and exhaust will be completed. I got a new Painless kit for a great price! I'm going with a mandrel bent exhaust, x-pipe, and flowmaster mufflers.. |

Re: Project Swagger
What pulley set up is that? I've been wondering how I could fit another compressor on my drives for a/c, and it looks like this would be the ticket! Looks darn good too!
