      OK guys I cracked into grasshopper's pictures and this is what I found that he hasn't posted. I knew more had been done but the pictures havn't shown it. No disrespect, but the story has to be told...

    The building of the custom guage cluster has begun. We made some good progress tonight and here are a few pics of the results.

    Decided on using a black plexi panel as the mounting surface for the guages.

    Cutting plexi is a slow process, but it went fairly well.

    Holes cut for the outer gauges.

    All the mounting holes cut and the plate attatched to the backing bracket that will mount the guage cluster in the original location in the truck.

    Cluster ready for some wiring and we have decided to incorporate some LEDS into the face of the cluster for turn signals, high beams, and parking brake.

    Lots of wiring for us to do over the next few days and awaiting the LEDs to show. Stay tuned for more...

    Thanks for the post and the kind words!!!! We had our doubts about the correct motor mounts to start with but that is way behind us at this point. Audio, I'm lookin' forward to that phase of this project! I've got a big shoehorn to help with that Blazer. :drink40:

    Here is a quick vid to go with the progress of the gauges. Gives an idea of what we did with the LEDs...

    Grasshopper seems to like the use of LEDs.

    More to come!

    We cranked the motor this evening and it sounds great!! Had a little trouble with the fuel pressure regulator, but other than that everything went perfect. Grasshopper was amazed that it fired up so well. He was a little funny about cranking it, the closer we got to firing it up the more nervous he got. (quite a large investment) He reminded me of a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, as you will tell in the video. We still have a number of things to do before we give it the first test drive but hopefully we will be road worthy by the end of the week.

    Thanks!! Lot of tuning and checking of all the systems: Fans, A/C, fuel regulator still needs a little adjustment, shifter, then drive and make sure we are a go!! Then on to next "phase".

    Oh my gosh that engine looks and sounds so good/pretty. If an engine can sound that good I only hope the sound system can keep up ;)
