[Project] Finish The Blazer (Part II)

purplepassion · 01-23-2009, 06:23 PM

it started with this:
http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f30/pr...blazer-331242/

then plans changed, and i decided to stockfloor it. first i took the kit off:
http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f3/ski...chicks-381270/

after talking to the guy that's gonna do it, we figured up everything we were gonna do, and set a date. it's going in the shop next friday for a SFBD. for right now, im gonna stick with the 20's i have all around. it's gonna be setup for 22's in the back, incase i decide to upgrade in the future. im gonna stick with 20's in the front though bc i wanna be able to drive it everywhere.....and i dont wanna cut the shit out of my hood/fenders to make it not rub.

i've been gathering up all new parts over the past couple months, and i basically have everything im gonna need. it's gonna be all 3/8 valves, 2 3gal aluminum tanks, 3 viair 380's, 3/8 line, dominator 2600 bags all around, SD arms, 4-link, AVS 9-switch, dakota digital gauges, hydroboost, and more i can't think of off the top of my head.

i was off today, so i decided to strip it down as much as i could:

its ready to go in:

wagonproject · 01-23-2009, 06:26 PM

...poor blazer

Can't wait to see it done man. Lets finally see a blazer finished!

purplepassion · 01-23-2009, 06:27 PM

ill update this as much as i can, but dont expect stuff daily.

once it's out of the shop, and the BD is done, im gonna take it to have a full exhaust redone, and i've already talked to a guy about doing my carpet & seats. after i get it back, im planning on covering/painting everything inside, and setting up all my audio stuff i have laying in my room

e3mcgrath · 01-23-2009, 06:28 PM

hey, i've been in that garage. looks good man, wish i could get mine done

cpolaris502 · 01-23-2009, 06:45 PM

Wow, this is awesome. How far away is the shop from where you are and how often do you think you'll be stopping in for pics? Can't wait to see this.

The carpet is heavy, isnt it?

purplepassion · 01-23-2009, 06:47 PM

the shop is prolly about 20 minutes away, and i'll be there at least once a week. i've been goin every thursday since the gf has college classes that night, and doesn't get home until like 10.

and yea, the carpet is alot heavier than i thought it would be. it's in the trash now

***orangesonoma*** · 01-23-2009, 07:07 PM

its a shame to tear up that fancy bridge notch cover

purplepassion · 01-23-2009, 07:17 PM

im gonna try to get it out as one big piece, then hang it on the wall or somethin

blazerxtreme18 · 01-23-2009, 07:40 PM

thats exactly whatim doing right now lol just got done guttin mine today...not for bd though..looks good man..cant wait to see it layin rocker..

lowNslo · 01-23-2009, 08:31 PM

right on man, did u set a date on when its gotta be done for? or just going day by day

blazerida88 · 01-23-2009, 08:36 PM

nice progress, i need that carpet

David12460 · 01-23-2009, 08:38 PM

cool man! always liked the blazer. subscribes to see how it turnes out.

SlamBlackSdime · 01-23-2009, 09:31 PM

Cant wait to see this..Defiantly subscribing... I just converted over 3/8" line with my 3/8" valves and its not bad at all. Just wondering why 2-3 gallons? I run an 8 gallon with Dom 2500's up front and re'8s out back, but the front I can only fill them to full lock up once and the second time, barely get the truck off the ground. Figured it be the same for you but maybe its just me.

Slammed83Mazda · 01-23-2009, 10:43 PM

If you could swing it money wise, now would be a good time to try to get your seats wrapped and other misc items painted or wrapped. Since all of it's outta the blazer.

i decided on 2 3 gallons bc of how small they are. you'll see why when i get all the stuff mounted

im just gonna wait until i get it back, and do the carpet/seats at the same time. im gonna be workin on the rest of the interior in the meantime though

Woody22 · 01-24-2009, 06:43 PM

blazed00 · 01-24-2009, 06:51 PM

i am thinking about runnin 2 3 gallons too and try and find some slim ones to put on the sides of my gastank underneith.

Kovz · 01-24-2009, 07:03 PM

Can't wait to see it done! What was the approximate time he gave you to finish the BD?

purplepassion · 01-25-2009, 01:25 AM

he said 2 months, but im expecting it to be a little longer..........like another month

blazerxtreme18 · 01-25-2009, 01:27 AM

SaltyOnionBalls · 01-25-2009, 01:40 AM

Ehh mine could have been done already and back on the ground.We have maybe a good 25 hours into the frame...you can knock it out if you guys work hard.

Have fun stuffing that 2600 dom in the front haha.I had to cut alot out of Al's s10 when we stuff them in there.

Goodluck buddy

blazed00 · 01-25-2009, 01:46 PM

yea i put some dom 2600s in the front before, its a shitload of cutting. had to cut the spring pocket all the way to the back of the frame and weld the seam back up were the LCA's are.
