Re: My winter project
Looks good , I like the white ,Black combo.

Re: My winter project
Thanks, I like the color combo also, I thought it was a repaint when I looked it over. I didn't think that was a color option for blazers.

Well the interior is all out, seats, carpet, sides panels and I have a little rust....
Windshield head is gone, has anyone tried to modify one from a truck cab? Thanks 7D2N |
Re: My winter project
I've never seen a truck header used but they do reproduce it now. Check out gmc Paul's. I didn't know they had a white black combo either. I would love to have that top.

I know now why some blazers don't get finished or put back together the right way. I'm looking at replacement panels and parts well over 2k and no labor. humm.. my bean counter might put a slow down on things. but I have one!!!!

Re: My winter project
Your best bet is to keep it running and driving for now. Then you can slowly pick at needed repairs and enjoy it, they are still fun even if they are not perfect.

I love the rally's! I am in the middle of a complete restore with LS-1 and I am going with Rally's and stock look!!!

Re: My winter project
Thanks guys. I have tons of things the blazer needs before rally wheels but it helps me see through the ugly.

I dropped the gas tank to empty the bad fuel. inside the tank looks real good so no more bottle feeding. one step closer.

I separated the top form the body and looks to be the first time in 40 plus years. doors, hood, and tailgate close great. lucky me I think.

Again I'm putting the cart in front of the horse and no way ready to mount a roll bar but couldn't pass for the price. I like the way this type of bar fits top on and off.

I plan to use the original interior door panels that had fabric glued to them. The fabric came off pretty easy but the old upholstery glue not so. I scraped with the stuff you can get at the hardware store and plastic putty knife and it's kinda working. Wish I had the picture of the black stuff glued over the wood grain.

Re: My winter project
You know, get yourself a lawn chair and you have a driver there... :uhmk:
It looks like a good project. I'm curious how the rust gets going in the center of the header. That seems like an odd place. |
Re: My winter project
Have you tried 3M adhesive remover on that glue?

I sprayed the door panels with a plastic coating. What do you think just trim or wood insert.
|
Re: My winter project

Re: My winter project

I'm almost ready for the new body mounts, the old ones don't give up easy.

Re: My winter project
I'll be doing body mounts soon as well, feel free to offer any worthwhile advice. Also, do you have any details on the roll bar or if that same model can be bought somewhere? It looked like you were able to find yours used.
thanks |

If your mounts have never been replaced cut the bolt heads off spray WD or something and drive them out and you will save yourself a bunch of time. |

Not sure what to do next. The doors shut nice but rub at the header. Should I shim at A pillar or loosen up the front cowl a bit to see if it will relax some.
Thanks 7D2N |

Re: My winter project
:agree: - consider this before digging into this process - it takes awhile to get the panels back where they need to be.

Re: My winter project

Re: My winter project
Where did you find the rally wheels? I've been looking for some just like those but all I seem to find is beat up bent ones.

Re: My winter project
highjack...
wheelsvintique will sell you new ones, just sold a set that I got from my local you pull it, paid 5.00 a wheel and 5.00 for tires that held air for shop rollers. Keep an eye on the for sale forum, they pop up shipping is the deal buster, like 30- 35 bucks a wheel, depending on where they are located |
