OK I didn't hook up with my buddy with the paint so I worked on the ride Sat and Sunday! I filled in the holes left by the mirrors on the doors with JB Quick. Its good stuff. Mix it togh=ether and its pliable til you put it in place. Strong as steel but still sandable. I still need a bit of Bondo to smooth it out.
My welding buddy was able to help me out today. We took the rear crossmember out of the 80's Blazer frame and "Southern Engineered" it to fit. We had to cut off part of the crossmember to fit within the framerail and welded tabs on the bottom to lengthen the crossmember within the framerails. Looks like it'll work! Thats all for now. Here's a couple of pics of what we were able to do... Later, J
