She is sitting on her own tires again finally! I was able to get my suspension bolted in yesterday and it is all within 1 mil so should take an alignment no problem. Tomorrow hoping to get the quarter panels cut out so I can get my desired ride height and start on my wide body again and was going to start today but the shop needed a good cleaning so got side tracked. I still have some cage and frame supports to finish but need a break from chassis fab and really excited to start on the bodywork.

Agreed! I worked on it all day today but didn't take any pictures. Quarters are cut off and working on some brake and wheel well vents. I should have some more pictures to put up tomorrow evening hopefully.

Got a lot done yesterday and today. Fabing up the brake vents ended up being a lot more time consuming than I thought they would but they are almost done. The rear quarters are ending up being a lot more work than I originally planned because basically rebuilding the whole rear of the Blazer but it will all function as planned hopefully. Here is where I left off today. Ran out of steam...

Hey Jaymzz ,
It's looking very good ! You are quite obviously considering all the details in the execution of this build .
This build shows how much you care about the details ! I'm looking forward to seeing more posts of the progress you continue to make in spite of any setbacks 😎

This build is freekin cool! I've been jumping around the thread and haven't read everything yet but what are your plans for the truck once it's complete? With the handling prowess this thing should have do you plan to track it or autocross it or anything?

I will be hill climbing it and road racing it. I also plan on doing the Silver State challenge at least once but hopefully more!
