Hmm might have to mess around in Photoshop and see what that would look like. And yes, remove the headlight, and carefully pop the 4 tabs that hold the bezels on. They just pop right off.

Also, did some researching and thinking about my keys for the TB's... I'm going to try a ball joint press to get the keys unloaded. It's almost the exact same tool as the GM Torsion Bar Unloader... My local auto mechanic tells me that's what he uses to unload TB's when he's working on 4x4s. So I think i'm going to make another attempt at my keys here and see if I can't get the front to match the rear in height.

 

So I bought 235/60R16s for the Firebird rims. They are on the truck now and damn they look good. I'll post pics tomorrow since its dark out now.

Decided since I have this week off from work and school to do some more stuff to the truck. I spent spent Monday and Tuesday stripping down to bare metal, fixing rust spots, bondoing, priming, painting, and clear coating. I plan to wet sand the final clear coat and hit it with Meguiars Ultimate Compound on Friday after everything has cured and dried more.

Spent today replacing the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor... Also got my drop shocks for the front end, so put those in.

Changed plans and ordered 3 inch drop blocks for the rear, which should be here tomorrow. Also going to install new powder coated black rear brake dust shields (the ones behind the caliper and hub) since they rusted off and also installing a CAI.

Here's a couple of pics showing the last couple days progress.

 

Been so busy with my school starting back up that I haven't gotten to update this properly.

So, I got the new 3 inch drop blocks in and now the Blazer now sits nice and level instead of running Cali style like the 4's did. Finished the paint job, but still haven't had time to wetsand it down nice and smooth; i'll probably do that this Friday since I don't have classes.

In the mean time, I was itching to do something quick and simple to the truck again, so I bought a can of white Plasti-Dip and coated the rear black vent cover things. First time ever using this stuff, and I must say, it's pretty impressive.

I'll post some pics hopefully tomorrow, it's been pouring rain out the last couple of days and haven't been able to get any good shots of it.

 

I don't know how well plastidip will hold up on the door handles, but if it worked, it would be a cheap way to make it look like they're shaved.
Also, have you considered removing the mud guards?
Looks great with those rear trim pieces white though!

 

Hmm, never thought of doing the door handles, might have to look into that. And yeah, I hate the mud flaps, however, winter is coming and they help keep all the road salt and crap off the sides. I'll probably take them off in the spring.

Also, had a little hic-up with the truck this weekend. The 4wd quit working... When I put it into Auto 4wd or 4-Hi, the light would just blink at me and nothing would happen. Long story short, the 4wd Accuator Switch that's mounted on the firewall quit working. I went to the U-pick yard to find one, and oh, come to find out 01 was the first year they used this part, and all the Blazers and Jimmy's at the yard were pre-01s... So yay RockAuto...!! $46 from the autoparts stores, $28 from RockAuto...

 

Looks good! I think you should lose the black door trim, it'll give her a cleaner look!

 

Noticed my battery tray was toast the other day when I was diagnosing a 4-hi issue. Stopped by the U-pic in my area and found a tray. It was covered in surface rust, but after sand-blasting it, the metal was in really good shape. Primed and painted it, and now it's in the truck.

Ah the silly little things that nobody will ever notice...

 

So now that winter is just about over here in Minnesota, it's time to start working on the truck again. Over the last couple of months, I replaced upper and lower ball joints, idler arm, and inner and outer tie rods. Fun Fun!

I also picked up a 9006 12000k HID conversion kit and installed that last weekend. HOLY SMOKES what a difference driving at night now! It was really easy to install as everything was plug and play. I'll get pictures up later this week if the weather holds.

Oh and the plasti-dip held up AMAZING on the rear vents. Granted they don't really take road abuse, but between the freezing cold, road salt, and everything else, it still looks brand new.
