Re: 1989 Blazer build (2wd)
Thank you! Sorry to hear about your mom but glad to hear that the suffering is over. Most of Oregon is shut down also or weird rules. I would give almost anything for a proper haircut and afterwords a good beer and hamburger at my favorite local brewery.
I hear you on that. Got kinda lucky on hair cut. Spring seemed so early I went for something akin to a Military buzz cut and few weeks later, virus hit so this clip lasting me a good while
even if a bit messy on the ears now. Making do with the Weber and drive thru liquor stores for now on beer/burger front but if they keep closing up meat plants due to virus spread that might stop too and veggie burger not my thing. Thought about stocking up some but can't get a chest freezer around here either right now but.. yea, I do live by a big lake so setting my sights on some fine spring crappie and bass. (no luck yet on jigs, need some crickets/live bait)

Just realized I have not updated my thread. Work is starting to pick up again so only been able to work on the Blazer here and there but that's a good thing!
Low and wide! Not anytime soon but trying to figure out something for the back besides the usual rollpan.
Cage is almost done and starting on the floor supports. I do have a few more bars to add to the cage still but getting close to done!

Sorry it has been so long for an update. Work has picked up some and now that I am done remodeling my bedroom I can start working on the Blazer more hopefully.
Front hoop done. Goal is to be able to drop all the running gear out of the bottom for easier maintenance.
Back is almost done. Excited on how it is turning out.
Taking a break from chassis and starting on the rear sheetmetal. I did get the gussets welded in and the rear end completely bolted in a couple weeks ago.

I know what you mean, we live in an old.farm house turned apartments...
I'm almost tempted to sleep in the blazer as I rather be outdoors these days
the cleaness of the work on the blazer can only put images of the craftsmanship you'll be putting in at home! Good luck on the home front!

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, life has been a little rough again....
I have done a few little things to my Blazer the last month but nothing worth pictures. I have been trying to keep on it a little here and there but it has been tough. I learned today I am being layed off at the end of the week and that's a good thing because I haven't made a paycheck in almost three months. So here she is on the trailer again on her way home and boy did I get some funny looks on the way home. lol My shop is full of work stuff and no room to work but hoping to get it sorted out and start working on it again by next week in between looking for a job.
