Seems like forever....
 

I bought a '90 Blazer in March this year and I've only put 20 miles on it since then!
I figured I'd restore it before I drove it but I didn't expect it to take this long. The bodywork ( rust removal ) is almost complete and the paint should begin next week. I figure that after it's painted it will still take another month to put it all together.
Here are a few progress pics...it was originally red and black and will be solid black when it's finished.

looks sweet. I wish I could have the money for a full size

RE: Seems like forever....
 

Keep up on the progress!!

I haven't been down to work on my Chevelle in over 2 months now...:(

RE: Seems like forever....
 

Dunno, think I might want it all red. That would surely be a grabber!:)

RE: Seems like forever....
 

Nice truck man. I've always been kind of a fan of the big blazers.

RE: Seems like forever....
 

Another progress update.
Eventually I'll have to put all the pics in an album of some sort.

Wish I had a nice clean shop like that to work in! Looks good!! Keep up the good work!!!

RE: Seems like forever....
 

Awesome truck, keep it up. I'd keep it red and black if I were you, but that's your call.

RE: Seems like forever....
 

Lookin' good Chevy, I gotta agree with everyone else though I would leave it two tone. As a matter of fact I would do a kandi red and kandi black pearl!

RE: Seems like forever....
 

LOL, does Chevy Lover even remotely resemble someone who would paint their truck a candy color? He's like Chuck Norris' bigger, badder, cooler uncle who taught him everything he knows.:D

RE: Seems like forever....
 

Looks great, I agree with a few members keeping it two tone, now that would be sick, but then again I think like rabbit0102030 on paint either a candy or mayber a pearl, nothing heavy but a nice sparkle to it would look nice, either way the truck will be sweet when your done.

RE: Seems like forever....
 

Ahh man, you said it bro, the kandi green on my blaze is my first kandi paint ever, and I will always ride kandi now! I'm a believer!

RE: Seems like forever....
 

Now that's funny! You must have seen the old pictures of me with my '70 Jimmy in the bush.

I figure the colour red attracts speeding tickets, so black it is.
Here's what the '90 looks like today.

Here's what it looks like with the first coat of paint. It's getting close now.

That is a really nice black on there, looking sharp chevylover real sharp!!! [sm=bling.gif]

Here's another update on the '90 Blazer. Today was a sunny day, so it was a good day to take the truck outdoors for some pics.
It's getting really close now. It just needs mirrors, door handles, door glass, tailgate glass, wipers, some interior trim and a really good clean-up.
The toughest part is trying not to scratch the new paint.

Very nice, now how about some full size hi-res shots? 576x432 just isn't cuttin' it. Greedy?

RE: Seems like forever....
 

I think I can see myself in the paint.

RE: Seems like forever....
 

Wow now that is a sharp lookin blazer there chevylover!!! [sm=bling.gif] <--- said it before and will say it again!!!

RE: Seems like forever....
 

I haven't washed it yet, just rinsed off some of the dust. I'll clean and detail it when it's all together...hopefully within a couple of weeks.

RE: Seems like forever....
 

is that single stage or base coat/clear coat?

RE: Seems like forever....
 

That looks great! Glad you went with all black...of course Im biased though ;)

RE: Seems like forever....
 

Base coat / clear coat, with 3 coats of clear.
