Damn I want to see this thing when you get it home, but I won't be headed back this weekend. Next time I'm in town I gotta hit you up and see this thing in person.

Hope this weather gives up also so you can get it home.

Re: So I finally started...

no problem Joe, just give me a call. I am shooting to take it to dereks ASAP, so that we can get my dads truck off the road, the cab may still be on next weekend and it may not. I have a bunch of stuff coming up for school, so you might get a chance. Just call me!

oh how I wish you were accurate with your statements! I am not balling, I was lucky enough to get offered a job making 22 dollars an hour, and I sold my Trans Am. SO, thats where all the money came from. Now I am losing the job, the money gradually decline, actually, rapidly decline. Hopefully I can get brought back after the slow months and theyll offer me permanent status, then there will be zero worries for getting this done 100 Percent as planned.

Re: So I finally started...

so its sitting in my garage, this thing is bad ass! i cannot wait to get working on it. definitely going to have to completely gut the inner fenders on the front, didnt know for sure if i was going to have too. Actually, probably wont be putting a back seat in it, as the tidal wave can serve as an excellent mounting spot for my amplifier(s). After a bunch of black carpet, some black suede, and blue paint. Maybe a little fiberglass, the interior of this thing will be bitchin! I will be posting pictures, but now I must quite drooling over the blazer, and go to work. Everybody have a wonderful day!

Re: So I finally started...

thanks for the kind words guys, found out today that my father is putting the trailer away for good this winter, which means, Ill have no way of getting the cab to the body guy, unless I can find another trailer... kind of a downer, but we'll see, might not be done in time for shows... I cannot do MUCH until after I get the cab back. On a side note, when installing a roll pan, do you have to do any modifications to the frame?

Re: So I finally started...

ok so disregard my post stating the trailer issue. i've got a trailer, and plan on taking the cab to the body guy (bigblock10) in about two or three weeks. Forgot to mention that my BRAND new fuel cell broke on the ride home, the up and down motion broke one of the mounting tabs, well i called Jegs, and they are shipping out a new one today, should be here tomorrow, then on friday, the Fedex man will be coming to pick up my old one! so thats a plus, things are still looking good, going to be a stretch with the job going bye bye but we'll get there!
