Sounds like a very cool ride. Must scare lots of folks off the road (assuming most vehciles are smaller). _____________________________ Bocomo - 1999 Blazer LT 4x4 4dr - 91,800miles - 4.3L - 4L60E - K&N Air Filter (in reply to Fontal) Post #: 2

RE: New guy from far far away - 1/16/2006 7:20:18 AM    swartlkk Posts: 15276 Joined: 5/1/2005 From: Waterloo, NY Status: offline Wow, nice ride man! Really makes me want to go pick one up! I miss having a nice thumping v8 under the hood (although my SSEi thinks it has one!). Looks very clean (ie. no rust) for an '83 as well. Nice job of taking care of that thing! BTW, I fixed your image links for you. If you want to learn more about how I did it, just PM me and I'll give a detailed explaination. _____________________________ Kyle- 04 Rainier My Restoration Projects Please Do Not PM for Tech Help (in reply to Fontal) Post #: 9
