I got wheels yesterday - lookin good! I can't believe I finally am to the point where I can roll a complete body around (to bad I'm not driving a complete blazer, but soon enough)! Hopefully I can start wiring soon. I'm building a new garage for her right now, and when that's done I can make some serious progress.

Looking really nice. Great progress. That scoop sticking out of the hood looks fantastic!

Pretty dang sweet! Your wheel stop is scaring me though - don't let that beauty go rolling down the drive!

You'll be driving it before you know it!

I will admit that I usually prefer rides that fly at a lower altitude......

But that's freakin awesome looking

ColoradoK5 · 08-13-2008, 01:29 PM

those rims look really good! Keep up the good work!

Pop's72 · 08-13-2008, 09:09 PM

That rig is looking sweeeeeet!!

Big J · 08-13-2008, 09:15 PM

Lookin' good, I dig the roll bar, all that chrome really pops with your paint scheme.

haus · 08-14-2008, 06:43 AM

man, that's a beautiful combo!

1LoC10 · 08-14-2008, 10:15 AM

awesome ride..... looks great so far

jays454 · 08-15-2008, 10:11 PM

I have 37 x 12.5 x 20 tires and a 6" lift. The sledge hammer doesn't make the best stop, but we had about six people standing there gawking hopefully ready to catch her. We pushed it out to see if it would fit through the garage opening without airing down the tires. We made it by maybe 1" without the roll bar. I'm trying to get her done for a car show in November so we will see if I make it (I may be taking her in a trailer)!
