Actualy that is the before pic the paint wasn't sticking. The rear qtrs in front of the tires, someone had cut off the corners for wheeling and on the front fenders as well. Also the doors were not in the best of shape either. But I have 2K5 Super Chevy Red paint and Clear coat for it when the doors are finished.

Holy crap batman, I hope they weren't using that 10" converter? I'd bet a stall of around 3-4k with it?! Looks sweet, I just got my Urethane Bushings and put the 67 clip on mine, but I am aways from paint. I hope mine looks as good as yours in few years!! I am thinking Flat Black for my Blazer and the 67 CST. I got hooked on Flat Black and flames, not sure why. Anyways not Jacking the thread (if I did sorry!)

I'm not sure I don't know much about Trannys and Diffs, but I woulld say it is not stock cause it'll chirp those 35's when it hits second gear if I'm pushing it.
As you can see I still need to replace my brake booster too it's all rusty.

That motor is gorgeous. Very tasteful. Is that a new door that you put on the passenger side? Just curious if it is because I want to chop my door even with the sides but do not want to cut up my original rust free doors.

Yes both sides are aftermarket doors and that is what is holding up the paint process is getting them lined up properly.

yes I have done all the body and paint work myself, just learning still, I'm debating if I want to have a professional finish it or not. I got a lot of time and effort into it and I want it done right, meaning perfect, so I my outsource the final paint.

13lazer - Most 1st gen owners wouldnt dream of putting the hammer down on their blazer....

The last time i found some one with a blazer who actually wanted to go, was some spoiled girly girl whose dad and brother built the entire thing up for her. Too bad it was all show no go, the thing was gutless. Blew her doors off...

ofcorse my blazer was much more quick before my lift and tires...

It's just a 4 bolt 350 w/ larger valve corvette heads ( a machine shop ****ed my old heads up, and the shop owner had these nice corvetter ones he was holding on to for one of his rigs and gave them to me so he didnt have to buy me new ones.


teamradrz1 - i'm in college and only wish i had so much cash to throw at my blazer! :(
I think i may be one of the youngest Blazer owners on this forum... but i've been here for a while heh

I know how you feel this is my second Blazer as my 1st a 72 needed lots of work but had no money to invest so I ended up selling it. But the 2nd time around I'm doing it right with this one and yes I am throwing alot of money at it but it has been a process ofr about 3 or 4 years doing so. Little by little I've been collecting parts and storing them for my rebuild and only now am I finally seeing the light at the other side of the tunnel.

My problem now is lack of time!
