Thanks, Make me an offer ya never know. Everything I own is for sale for the right price.
I pulled the grill tonight and painted it to match the bumper. Looks much better now.
I also got to polish the wheels.

Started on the next phase of work. Replacing the hidden rust you couldn't see. And doing the upgrade to the newer style grill and headlights.
I ordered a new radiator support, two fenders and inner fender wells. I already have the headlights and grill.
I also sold the cowl hood and got a ram air style one.
Also doing a complete color change.

Update I got allot more accomplished. All the new parts came in. The radiator support and inner fenders are painted and installed. I got the new headlights wired up. I used a dual relay module and ran direct off the battery. I bout all the 9005 and 9006 plugs so everything is plug and play.
I got the fender fitted and I was amazed at how nice they fit. All the body lines are perfect and no dents. I just have to get them edged out so I can get them on. I got the door jambs all sanded. Just have to sand around the rear hatch then I can jamb the whole Blazer.
Then it gets painted.

I just ran across this thread for the first time. First off, great job. I really like it. Very unique and it looks like you've done it right. I have a question about your rear suspension. And forgive me if its already been covered... One is, why do you not have any spring wraps on the packs? In my experience, not having any on an off road rig will lead to over arching with down travel. Second question is, do you have plans for anti wrap bars to keep those soft leafs from S'ing out?
Ive had to deal with both issues on several rigs of mine. Just curious what your plans are for those things. I really like what you have done with the front suspension. Because of how and where I wheel, I went with an SAS etc on mine. Cool to see someone do something beyond a box lift for one of these.

Roger that. Are you sticking with the 10 bolt? Or you going to upgrade to something a bit stronger? I found that a 14BSF is a nice upgrade. You can get it in 6 lug out of the back of the HD 1500's. Just a thought. Or maybe even a 9"? I personally wheel hard and have the HP and TQ and wheel/tire weight to stick with a 14BFF. But, I think it might be a bit heavy and too low of GC for your rig. Could even do a D60 with a 6 lug conversion though.

I'm talking to somebody now about a Supercharger. I was going to do an LS swap but now I'm thinking the supercharger will be easier and have the same power output and be just as cool to look at.
Plus allot cheaper.
