my 82 blazer build thread

[Dragon]

I'd know I had to sell my 75 when I got divorced 

Dang that's a sucky outcome Sorry bout the loss Bro! I feel your pain, my Ex took Great Pride driving my '87 Lesabre 2dr into the ground, cause she knew how much I enjoyed it

Nice ride, not really a big fan of ginormous wheels, but those looks nice. I’ve always heard that big rims make the ride of the vehicle rough, is that true?

here it is the first day i got it  i put the wheels on before i could take a pic

This belongs here in the "rides" section since it is all about your rides.  Projects would be LS install or how to drop, etc.

thats what i was doing( i thought) i was starting a build thread with the motor swap you have to start somehere lol

[Captkaos]

you put it in the members project section.  If you are planning on detailing a LS install only, I will move it back, but you indicated that it would be a complete truck build based on the post.

Wow, beauty Blazer! Two tone paint jobs with a silver bottom and dark upper are one of my favorite schemes. And it being a 2wd brings back fond memories for me. First vehicle I ever owned was an 81 Jimmy 2wd Sierra Classic in 1992. Red bottom and white upper. I had it repainted metallic black with a GM Slate Grey top. It was sharp.

You're going to have a real slick cruiser there. Enjoy! I even still have the factory console from my 81 that my brother built a bandpass subwoofer enclosure in holding an 8" sub complete with plexi window.

[ca180]

nice interior!

Did you make those lower door panels?

Also did you glass that dash yourself?

I like the way it looks!

[leprcon]

well still plumbing  the air suspension and got some different wheels  still kinda on the fence with them  but we will see once its bagged, still waiting on the harness from speartech

[leprcon]

[Captkaos]

Nice interior.  BTW I fixed your avatar.

[leprcon]

thanks,  that was a cool suprise

Very nice ride

[SUX2BU99]

Again, very nice. That painted dash is brave. Did you lay fiberglass mat over top of the factory vinyl to make it paintable? And I see you have power windows and door speakers. I take it that the door mids do not protrude into the door metal at all? On my truck with power windows, the motor mechanism is directly behind the metal.
