No spy shots but I did drop by today and check the progress and basically distracted him for a couple of hours.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
A nice HOT Texas weekend has passed
 and it didn't stop me from playin in the shop! I am at the stage of determining which way to go on my project and I have made a few decisions, now to draw it out on paper and plan some of the details. Progress was good, doesn't look like much but these things take time as we all know. And now the announcement, I had a phone conversation with a powder-coating company and tonight we will have a meeting at the shop so they can look at the project, they are looking to sponsor the powder-coating of the frame and suspension. I hope we come to a happy agreement that is best for both of us!!! Now for some pics!!!I got the bottom of the posts cleaned up and rattled some primer on em. Took the next step and closed the hole at the top and drilled my holes for the turn signal lights..........yes turn signal lights!!  This is a mock-up of what I am looking to do with the dash, old Corvette style humps and deleting the defrost vents. Cleaned up the shop and the inside of the truck so I can get started with console and c-notch cover mock up.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
I wish I had more to update on, but time just didn't allow it. Ordered a bead roller and it should be delivered today, you can see my review on it and check out the product.
I have been wanting to do custom fabrication and I suppose this is a start. Borrowed a flange kit from a buddy and tried my hand at making these nifty little holes. Works pretty good, not sure what I would apply it to on my build. My plasma cutter blew up this weekend, literally. It shook the shop!! LOL! Northern Tool took it back and refunded my $$ so I bought this one, it works great! The rest of my weekend was spent trying to get this to look right. I know I have at least 60 hours in this stupid thing, but it didn't look right to me and now it does. And another shot of the time hog.

Get to practicing on that metal working, I might need you to make some stuff.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Bummer about the plasma cutter. Sounds like you have already replaced it. I would like to get a plasma and bead roller for my shop too. They are valuable tools when it comes to metal work. Your blazer just keeps getting nicer! Are you going to do all the bodywork / paint too?
