Sorry guys havnt had a chance to work on the blazer in awhile. The front suspension is pretty much done. Just need to throw on the tie rod ends which I'm doing with heims. Then I have to do the spring over in the rear.

I got the Rugged Trail control arms back in the early 90's when they were still making them. They came with a cross member drop that dropped it an inch.

I got side tracked with a 66 Corvette project. Was a highly modified ISCA show car that was retired in the late 80's then has been setting ever since. They spent $180,000 to build it.
A few pics. The last pic was in its hay day.

 

Some pictures.

 

Not a fan of that corvette (never really liked them period) but its an interesting car for sure, may I ask how much you picked it up for? plans?

 

The guy I got it from was asking $35000. We made a trade deal.
I'm basically going through it and modernizing it. All new wiring brakes adding 1 5/8 tubing all through the car to stiffen it up. Its getting a supercharged BBC making 1023 HP.
I've already done a bunch of stuff to it. I could post pics if anybody is interested.

 

should be fun with over 1000 hp

 

I remember that car from back in the late 70's and nice to see that its going to get some new love given to it. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd LOVE to see what all you do with this on "modernizing" it.

 

Where did you see the car? Its amazing I've already ran across a couple of people who remembered it. One in which had a pic he took at a show and he had a magazine it was in which he sent to me.
I was going to restore it back to what it was but it will be much more fun with some modern touches.

 

Back to work on the Blazer. Want to get it done so I can drive it this summer. The front suspension is pretty much done just have to build the tie rod ends and brake lines.
Then on to the rear.

 

Got the exhaust finished up. Made a new pipe to get around the driveshaft.
Front tie rod parts should be here this week.
I'm planning to replace all the front break lines.

 

Looks great! Do you have those fender flares still? I know someone who'd give you 200 bucks for em.
