Re: My winter project

I rounded up some straight down exhaust manifolds. I could use some help from you guys with stock AC. I have the brackets, compressor and some bolts but not sure of right placement.
Thanks

Re: My winter project

I may have to rename the thread to (My many winters project) I'm getting things done slowly and a lot of boring stuff but I've found out that the phrase rebuilt means....do-over.

Re: My winter project

I now have the needed puzzle pieces to start floor and body repair stuff. This will be a challenge for me.

Re: My winter project

Go slow, take pictures, ask questions, etc. Many have been down this road before and have made pretty good progress.

It can all be fixed.

Re: My winter project

Just a little progress but no welding. I have trimmed and fitted, trimmed and fitted again, put the door on and then take the door off. This takes a lot of time. I plan to start welding soon.

Re: My winter project

I'm working on the outer B panel patches and I have some questions if anyone has replaced these, should there be a flang or tab on the bottom panel to attach the panel to the end of the rocker box.
Thanks

Re: My winter project

Here's a couple of pictures of how it should be. The b pillar area on this Blazer is original & unrestored . They are just a tab that is spot welded on.

Re: My winter project

Thank you for the response that will help me a lot. I had no reference of how it should have be attached since mine and had rusted away.

Re: My winter project

Small update. I have the outer rockers and B pillar patches alined with the fenders and doors and ready to weld. My doors need work, do you think door patch panels or complete door skin?

Re: My winter project

I decided to repair my doors with lower skins and made some inside B Piller repairs. oh, make sure you have your door seals on before adjusting door gaps.
it will save time. I should have know that I read it here.

Re: My winter project

The B pillars are welded in and the outer rockers are tacked for panel alinement. I did run into this problem after I got things alined, the top of both doors leaning out. I'm wondering about these welds, should I grind them off and reweld them in the right position?

Re: My winter project

The Exhaust manifold on the driver side I think is for a 2 WD ,4WD goes straight down.

Great Build

Yes, you are correct on the manifolds, the straight down on that side turned out to be cracked and had to use the other one to get the motor brake-in done.

Thanks
