Well it''s here and i finally have my new motor running like a clock... i have some minor body repair that needs done, minor door work, leveling out a few imperfections in the aftermarket hood and fenders, a little fine reworking a cab corner, shaving the gas door on the bed, etc... and some much needed work to the top of the cab...my question come in the form of do i ride it and begin the body work, park it and do all of the body work, or just ride and worry about the body work this winter???
im leaning towards working on the body and ridiing it becoz i ddnt get to ride it much at all last summer.......... just curious on what you guys would do

I agree. Cruise all summer and fall. Save the work for winter. Mario.

- if you do it now - you will only want to be out driving it...

Projects can very often lead into the "might as well" stage and then the next thing you know, the truck is off the road entirely.

If you want to drive it, drive it and save the work for winter.

Definetly ride now, work in the winter! If nothing else, you can use the excuse that you don't want to get burnt out in it & give up. Enjoying the wind in your hair some now will help you remember why you took on the project!

Drive it with the top off!!!

Oops! Did't notice the signature (but this is in the Blazer section

)

Well then, roll down the windows & hang your head out

This guy's right...

The closest I'll get to enjoying my Blazer this summer is rolling it backwards out of the garage, and sitting in the driveway holding a loose steering wheel in my hands and making Vrooom, Vrooom noises...

I guess you're right. It is posted in the Jimmy/Blazer section?
