Finally, another update. This is a mix of some older pictures that I just got and 2 new pictures.

First with the older pictures.
These are when the inside of the tub was being prepped and painted.

I really like that orange!

Re: I think I've decided on a build "theme"
 

You might consider cutting holes in that crossmember for the exhaust. Reinforce with some 4" pipe. It will help to keep the exhaust system for that 502 up so it wont be draggin. I just did a 502 install and ran 3" full length.

Got any pictures or a link?

I did it on a 4x4 blazer so no crossmember to deal with. However, its been done lots of times on here when people lower their trucks and blazers to gain extra ground clearance for the exhaust. I think CPP sells one with holes already in it. Here is a link to a thread on the subject.

I got a few more pictures today. It has been moved up into the assembly section of their building. The tub braces have been cut out and the paint fixed where they were welded in. The pictures are a little better than the last group.
They've ordered the Dakota Digital dash cluster, a pully/serpentine system for the engine and a wiring harness. I will post pics of those if/when I get them.

She is looking Awsome!!!:metal: what the wheel and tire package? specs?

Re: I think I've decided on a build "theme"
 

Looking extremely Sharp! I'd be interested in knowing what steering column and where they got it.. I've got to get one here in the next month.

Re: I think I've decided on a build "theme"
 

Thanks. The wheels are Coys C5's, 18x8 and 18x9.5 and the tires are Nitto NT555's, 265/50ZR18 and 295/45ZR18.


I got the steering column from LMC but the box says it was CCP steering wheel. Here is the page that I got it from on the LMC site.

Re: I think I've decided on a build "theme"
 

I have another update. The pulley system, Vintage Air, headers and wiring harness have arrived. Some of the new stuff has already been put on the Blazer. The assembly is in full motion...and I'm very anxious to get this thing done and driving. I know I'm worrying the mess out of the shop but, I'm excited.

Well, here are a few pictures as of this morning.

Re: I think I've decided on a build "theme"
 

They sure seem to be doing nice work in a timely fashion. Who is the shop?

Re: I think I've decided on a build "theme"
 

Thanks! The accessory setup came from here


Yeah, I think they are working at a good pace. The bills can vouch for that. The shop is http://keithsrestoration.com/ in Mocksville, NC. He's a standup guy and his guys turn out quality work. He isn't cheap though.

You get what you pay for! And from what I can see, you must be paying a lot. She's coming along nicely. Gonna be wicked when she's done.

Re: I think I've decided on a build "theme"
 

Went and checked on the Blazer today. Since they aren't as good at taking pictures as I want them to be I snapped a few. The picture quality isn't too great because they were taken with my phone but, you get the idea. They've installed the AC and they're currently wiring the transmission. They are going to wire everything in the dash and work out from there.

Awesome. Perfect color!

Lol... My color. Love to see it parked next to my Jimmy. Wouldn't it be cool if everyone on this board lived on the same block?

Re: I think I've decided on a build "theme"
 

No really good ones yet. Still in the wiring stage.

Re: I think I've decided on a build "theme"
 

Tom, what vents are those in your hood? I've been looking for something like that to use as a heat extractor for mine.

Re: I think I've decided on a build "theme"
 

That looks good!
