More pics of the rebuild (update)

[jlsparky7]

Well we struggled a bit putting a few things on because the powdercoated put 2 coats on which made some parts fit really tight. Heres an update with some pics of how hte rebuild is going.
Heres what we have got done since the last update.
1. Motor is in the frame
2. Carrier/axle/swingarm are mounted
3. Front shocks are on
4. Rarz's are now installed on stock rims painted black

Let me know what you think or if you have any questions.

Nice man, coming along great a few months ago i was in the same boat as you putting together my newly painted an powder coated parts, what size front tires an how much did you pay for them?

 

[jlsparky7]

21x7x10 I think they were like $46. Got them from RMATV, they almost always have the best price.

I told him to go for the hydraulic brakes but he said "these work why switch them?". It was kinda like arguing with a brick wall.

 

[01blaster_freak]

Hahaha i switched mine to disk brakes, arguing with a brick wall that's funny how old is he?

His dad works at a body shop and used car paint.

He used a rattle can on the shocks and hubs though.

He already dropped 1k into the motor and the looks so he didnt want to pay all the money for a new front end.

hmm, i like it that my blaster is a sleeper, i'm wondering if i should paint my frame.

 

[rr97guy]

I am going to do the same thing to my 04 Blaster soon now that I have found aframe to replace the tweaked on on it. It is an older frame with the drum brakes on front Will it be hard to put on the disc brake parts on the older frame or should I use the drum brake set up? I have all the parts to do it either way.

 

[dirtyblaster]

i have a tweak in my frame too, its in front of the airbox near the rear shock on the left side theres a good bend, not sure what happened, my frame is straight though.
