I'm gonna be in Calgary in August wouldn't mind checking out the blazer if that would be cool.

PHAT TONY · 07-15-2009, 12:21 AM

From one Canajun to another; 4500 BUCKS!!!!????!! #%@&*$....... how much fer the "Blimmy"?

classicchev · 07-15-2009, 08:49 PM

how much fer the "Blimmy"?[/QUOTE]

I m really not sure what Im going to do with it yet. Tossing the idea around about putting it together without a engine or trans, but with all the extra parts that I will have from the new one. How much do you want to give me for it?????????????????

classicchev · 07-16-2009, 12:38 AM

Took "Louise" to her first show in Canada. After a few hours of polishing we loaded her back on the trailer and off to a 3 day show. Lots of people looked in awe at the suspension, even the hardcore Dropsicle guys liked how things where done, and again I will thank Chris for all the fine work that he put things together. I did put some of my parts on, upper and lower tublular arms and my 14" Willwood brakes. I can almost tuck the brakes

.

The Blazer still has not made it to Calgary, but I will be seeing it again tomorrow. I will post some pics later.

You're really making me wish my plate wasn't soo full; I look at my discombooberated Blazer every day with that foggy dream sequence vision!

classicchev · 09-03-2010, 12:31 AM

Now that Im done my Crew Cab, I think this may be the next one.

List of parts I have on the shelf for it,

502 Ramjet
Magnum 6 Speed
14" Wilwood brakes all around
Some funky electric brake booster
ART tubular fronts, and ART rear tubular trailing arms
Accuair air management
Escalade leather interior
and a ton of other stuff that I have stashed in the attic for the last 6 years.

NO PAINTING this one. The yellow paint is in very nice shape.

Hopefully I can get on this one before the end of the year.

PHAT TONY · 09-03-2010, 12:56 AM

You need a bigger pad for that c-cab lol, get to work on that Blazer!
I'm hoping to shoot color before 8 mos. of snow then final assy in spring.
Need to come to cow-town for a Blazer cruise to Peters Drive In!

The accelerated program!!

mcbassin · 07-11-2011, 07:43 PM

Nice looking crew cab and the Blazer is awesome. Any updates since the trek up to the great white north?

classicchev · 07-11-2011, 07:54 PM

No, but it is next......

Tons of cool stuff to put on, should happen quick..

Darren

oldtinrods · 11-03-2011, 10:20 AM

What a great read... That new owner should be proud!

PHAT TONY · 11-03-2011, 01:47 PM

Hopefully he's proud enough to huck some wrenches at it and get it driving.

Collecting parts, lots of cool ideas, and yes it will be terrorizing the streets in the spring....

Cool.. Keeping an eye on this

oldtinrods · 11-03-2011, 09:40 PM

Make sure you put a link to the new thread here so we are sure to find you. I would hate to see the beginning of a build and not get to finish it.

y5mgisi · 11-03-2011, 09:56 PM

Cool story!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-04-2011, 03:21 PM

Cant wait to see ya get busy on it..

classicchev · 11-19-2011, 04:33 PM

I quess all I can do is keep buying stuff .. Orders in at Porterbuilt, just cant decide on the wheels yet, Intro Gcubes with a 12" deep dish back wheels?? If I had a full side shot of it I would get someone to photoshop it. I should be on it in January, just got to get some of the money making things out of the shop.

PHAT TONY · 11-19-2011, 04:50 PM

Ain't priorities a beeoch?

gringoloco · 11-19-2011, 05:47 PM

I like the idea of some DISH. What's coming from PB- tube arms? Hood hinges? I think a set of SloshTubz would work nicely, too. Ready to see this one moving

No to the hood hinges, Im keeping the tilt. From PB, just some various sizes of tubular pipe and stuff.. Thats all Im saying for now. Will be ordering a set of Tubz, I hate the thought of running 2 trucks with no inners.

Im actually working next door to where I have is stored, and get to look at it everyday, so that is a little motivation for me..

What you think of the wheels?

gringoloco · 11-19-2011, 09:57 PM

Intrigued- I'll be watching for updates... As for the wheels, I've never really shopped billets, but my tastes run a little more classically styled. They would definitely bring it to the next level- more of a high-end look. Would have to finish the rest of the build to the same degree...

I think Im kind of heading that way, except for the fancy builder name tagged on it.

If I dont hurry up, some of my cool parts will become way old school.

gringoloco · 11-20-2011, 11:56 AM

Sweet! This thing will be cooler than I ever intended. Get to work

npauto · 12-06-2011, 11:32 PM

Was reading this thread right from the start, very interesting story. And in the end I realize the new owner is a fellow Albertan!!
Looking forward to seeing how this Blazer turns out.
