If it's done right, this can look awesome when it's done! Mine are all pitted and ruined...someday I might get around to re finishing them lol.
I agree with Craig though...post up pics when your done.

I got my blue gauge lights installed today...I'm just waiting for night to see how they look...



Also washed the truck and cleaned inside...







And also discovered this MASSIVE scratch on my passenger side that almost runs the entire length of the truck...no idea where it came from...



But with the magic of scratch doctor...I got rid of most of it. It's just barely noticeable now. I'll post up pics of my gauges once it gets dark enough

Well damn that just sucks lol. I'm hoping you atleast went back for it, I know I would have. Even if I was a person driving down the road I would stop and grab it just since its laying there lol.

I've been tempted to just drive my blazer around open header for awhile just to see the reactions of people but with the colder weather creeping in I'd rather not run the chance of bending a valve. Not to mention my parents would bitch up a storm when I pull up and the truck is louder then the barracuda lol.

Been having a pretty bad bucking problem as of late, been a real downer. So went out today and did new cap, rotor, ignition coil(that was fun with it being riveted on its rail, dremel ftw) and idle air control valve. after 3 hours or so of work/messing around, got it all done and shes running like a champ. ECU is a little out of wack because we had the IACV unplugged for 2 weeks, but hopefully it sorts itself out soon enough.

on a side note, also helped with a 2001 grand am brake job and my brothers 71 lemans carb rebuild.
