Re: Left for dead: 72 2wd blazer build

I was able to get the outer section of the old floor out today and cut the reproduction outer floor section down to size. I would have been able to get it tacked in today if it weren't for my dads bad back and a rotten hat channel.



Since I couldn't tack any new metal in I continued cutting out rotten metal. I tore down to the 1/4 panel brace. I was hoping it would be in good shape but it was rotten as well. So I cut it out to use as a template on making a new one.



I was thinking I might be able to keep the original rocker box in place and just patch it but it is pretty pitted so now I am thinking it will be replaced. I know this doesn't sound like alot but that was a days work! Hoping to make more progress soon. Here is a parting shot of the way she looked when I left her today.
