OARNGESI · 04-20-2009, 05:31 AM

Wow thats nice

teamradrz1 · 04-20-2009, 02:33 PM

Just got back from seeing it again today it looks even better! the red has darkened and is more glossy than when I snapped the pictures not even 5 mins after he sprayed the final coat. We pulled one piece out into the sun light and DAMN it is AWESOME I love it!

teamradrz1 · 05-01-2009, 08:08 PM

Blazer now has dash together (except head unit) dynamat floor and carpet kit layed out not glued down yet.

teamradrz1 · 05-31-2009, 01:23 PM

Getting close cut and buff is now done and reassembly is almost complete hoping to take it to the 1st PIR cruise in this Wedensday. Camera was a little dusty being in the shop so picture quality isn't the best.

BLUE THUNDER · 05-31-2009, 04:30 PM

Nice!!!! You'll be back on the road in no time.

vtblazer · 06-01-2009, 05:49 AM

swyfor5 · 06-01-2009, 08:06 AM

WOW! That is one sweet looking K5!

**Yukon Jack** · 06-01-2009, 09:46 AM

My K5 only wishes it could ever be that nice!

teamradrz1 · 06-01-2009, 10:37 AM

Thanks guys, I can't wait to actualy enjoy my Blazer again it has been a long time.

JayDubBlazer · 06-01-2009, 10:47 AM

WOW, that red and black really pops, good looking truck.

teamradrz1 · 06-01-2009, 01:07 PM

all the pictures have a "pink" look to them and in person this is not the case it is a very strong red that stands out. I'm hoping to pull it out of the shop today and get some pictures in natural lighting hopefully that makes a difference.

teamradrz1 · 06-01-2009, 09:54 PM

Another day another step closer should have it done tomorrow just have the Rear bumper, windshield, cowl and hood left.

VA72C10 · 06-01-2009, 10:00 PM

Looks fantastic!!!

teamradrz1 · 06-02-2009, 09:26 PM

got the windshield in, bumpers on, cowl on just need the hood on and bolt in the seats and she will be ready to come home.

packers05 · 06-02-2009, 09:51 PM

started with after markets then switched to truck doors and cut them down the Forum has been a great tool to get stuff like that done and I did the tailgate mod too(no more rattling brackets) oh and don't worry there is plenty of fine tuning to do have all billets bracketss to put on the engine still need a PB booster and the correct master cylinder, after summer I'll get all the suspension powder coated, still needs new exhause and the custom console and stereo installed lots of fun jobs left but just being able to drive it down the road again (leagally too) will be nice.

A friend of mine picked this up from a different forum basically you cut the T off the tailgate drill and tap it with 8mm X 1.25MM then buy 94 Ford Ranger left and right cables. I'll take some pictures since I don't have permission to share the ones I have of the step for step. Anyone else interested in me posting a FAQ on how to do this mod?

losangelesk5 · 06-03-2009, 01:36 AM

Yeah, do a post of the step by step. When you close the gate do the cables stick out at all, or do they go where their supposed to.

teamradrz1 · 07-14-2009, 11:35 AM

Ok here she is now still not quite finished but driving it around now.

**lks dcvn** · 07-14-2009, 01:53 PM

looks really sharp!
