Actually waiting on new motor mount plates to slide the engine back 1-1/2". Then ill start on the exhaust. Still gotta drop the tank and change the pump as well.

You guys painting at home are killing me. Jealous! From reading threads on it I think I could do this (or at least would try) if I had a garage.

So clean. Even in primer. Everyone gives me ****for converting mine to 2wd but I think there's not much sweeter than a lowered blazer with the top off

Got it 70% wet sanded and buffed and my buffer died, had to run to work this morning and grab another one. Also picked up my new rear seat this morning, 3rd row tahoe seat in black leather to match the fronts!! Got the inside of the roof sprayed as well, interior is going 2 toned in chocolate brown with black carpet and seats

crazy to think if you combine the ls in the blazer and the lt in my c10 the horsepower would be pretty close to what the Hellcat is bringing to the table!

what did you use to paint bumpers ?

aboesec10 03-23-2017 09:26 PM

Re: My first blazer!!
 
i stripped the chrome after narrowing them and shaving the bolts, Then a metal etch primer. Finally painted them base/clear in what our wheel shop calls hyper silver.
