It's the final countdown! http://s1045.photobucket.com/albums/b455/mills530/Chevy%20454%20Vol%2011%20-%20The%20Finale/

All tested and passed!!

Few niggles to sort out that I found driving it home, bit of a miss fire under and a few bits of trim to finish off. Door drip rails to fit and under starters orders!

Enjoy the photo's, after all the aggro it didn't turn out too bad!

Watch out for the Blazer build coming to a screen near you soon ha ha

Final update on the crew and an update on me!

The crew is finished barring a few little bits and bobs. Had a couple of shakedown drives totalling appx 25 miles. Awesome sounds through the 4 1/2" stainless, people were turning round before I got to them (a real head turner!). Cruising the main roads at 20-25mph sucking in every burble  ;D taking up two lanes when aproaching junctions etc. Managed to upset a few boy racers in their cars with fart exhausts and leaving them standing at the lights.
Even young ladies are giving it the grin - oh yes, I love my truck.

My update is: It looks like I may be made redundant from work.  :-\ I have set up a training company to train truck drivers, all insurances in place and viewed offices today to work from. I work hard and play hard so fingers crossed it works out.

As for the Blazer I posted pictures of a few weeks back. I've done a 300 mile round trip to get some doors, a 200 mile round trip to get an engine and box. All I need now is a hood and outer fenders. Oh and lots of sheet metal to repair the floor etc. The clip has been removed and disposed of, it was absolutely rotten. The front end has been degreased and it'll be under reconstruction very soon. I may have more time on my hands than previously planned!

happy reading guys/gals

Hey Bitz good to hear from you again! I kind of lost touch with the sight for a while. The truck turned out awesome! Great job!

Sorry this is old and dated but I couldn't remember if I gave you all the final update on the crew.

The back has been turn into a coffin carrier. If you're on facebook you may have seen it.

Cheers Vile & Bob, the comments make it that little bit more special knowing other people understand how much time/effort went into it.
