DIY ideas?
 

I'm looking for a summer project (or projects) since I'm out of school for good, I'll have lots of free time (of course, I gotta look for a job). Anyone got ideas for my blaz?

I'm gonna paint the wheels/front bumper/trim black and finish up adding red trim to the doors. Anyone got ideas?

follow me on this...
hole saw, $30, Home Depot snorkel...

go junkyard cruising and find some: brush guards/light guards/roof rails/tow hooks/skid plates/overhead console upgrades/camaro rims/tow hitch reciever <-- refinish them and slap them on.

x2 on junkyard specials

Ya that should keep me busy xD

I wish, but I dunno if that's legal in NY (no orange on the corners, but I probably could since I have the bumper lights)


i'll prob be getting junk yard parts for the rear bumper (upgrade to 08 bumper) if only I could find a junk yard lol

I don't see the "off road" look being applicable to Craigs Blazer though. Not with the running boards and other accessories he has. His Blazer does not have an off road look to it in the least bit. I wouldn't recommend getting a brush guard or roof baskets or anything like that. I just think it would look out of place on a "grampa blazer" (no offense to you Craig...your Blazer does look nice, it's just a Grampa vehicle with the running boards). I could see doing roof lights though, but they're not usually cheap.

How about devoting all your time to finding a job first, then start planning projects once you have income? There's not much you can do without a job and no money...just my :icon_twocents:. Get your priorities in order dude. Your 17 right? That's a year thats gone by that you could have been working and saving for your truck. Hell, even if it's @ rotten ronny's flipping burgers, it's still income.

an 08 bumper....

as in grade 8 bumper hardware or an '08 trail blazer's bumper

or someother thing along those lines?

also when should i expect you in for the DIY my truck projects?
and i can help on the job hunt too... i've got like 150 or some crap that i could point you too :icon_goofygrin:

lol...thansk for the ROFL copter Curtis. I wasn't trying to be a douche...so sorry if I came accross as one. I was just saying you should really think about getting a job first. Once you do that the possibilities are endless since 90% (if not more) of that income is expendable cash when you're that age. Hell, I wish I was 16 again with no bills lol. I had soo much money I didn't know what to do with. Set me up to buy my own home at 19 though, and have my own vehicle too.

damn man, i got the wrong job as a kid then....

i washed dishes/ran a drive through at a rotten ronny's *lol btw* for enough cash to cover my insurance and fuel for the Nova.....

I guess i could have lived in the back seat and had my own home and vehicle too..... :icon_doh:

wtf high school job did you have? plastic surgeon? :icon_eek:

I worked at the local nursery hauling rocks for ponds... and then for the gas dept. I got like up to 100 hours every two weeks with an average of 88.... that was blown in the first year of college though...
