Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

Vacation tomorrow, and an extended lunch, plus zero miles commute, and starting work at 06.00 meant we have this tonight.

Two hours of CAD, cutting, fitting, heating, melting, fitting, cutting, shaping, swearing, swearing, and a bit more forcing, grinding, swearing.

@nickwheeler would just have stood and laughed at my frustration.

But it gave me this.

CAD



Directed



Marked



Cut



Trial fit in hole



Then the wheel arch intake.

Awkward, very awkward.



Reshaped.



Upside down

Not a fit.



Reshaped with heat.



Looks like a better fit.



Getting there.



Trumpet needs to be refitted, with super adhesive.

As will the tab to attach it to the inside of the inner wheel arch need to be drilled and fine tuned.



Another small, but time consuming job mostly wrapped up, final fit once the body is bolted down.
