Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Bought a jimmy to go along with my blazer. The orange blazer is mine the white one was my cousins but he sold it recently.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

AWesome jimmy. Looks to be in great shape.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

So this happened today...

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Very nice, what size are the wheels?

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

35" tires 18x9 wheels.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Finished blasting and shot a coat of primer on the floor.... Was in the zone and didn't think to snap a shot in bare metal... Also received a set of 4" skyjacker lift springs to eliminate the lift blocks.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

I wash it and polised it

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Trimmed and fit a windshield frame. Hopefully get it welded in tomorrow. I had been dreading this, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Wow -good work RG! Coming together nicely.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Thanks, I have a long way to go... hows your's going?

The bad news is I didn't have time to weld it in today, the good news is I was able to use the shorter frame I had so I still have another windshield frame I can sell to help someone else get theirs done! Silver linings all around.

Whats up with that color change from green to tan, lighting make that big of a difference?

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Fabbed a bracket to hold my airride stuff and had it powdercoated. Didn't do it in one day but got it installed!!

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Finished painting the dash and tomorrow I will spray the frame.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Probably the old sony camera I use! I think it flashed on the last pic but not the first (later in the day) It is green, not tan.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Nice work on this, Rg

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Thank you, this is my first attempt at doing all the work myself.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Well, it certainly looks like you know what you are doing. I'm trying to do everything myself also, and it shows!

Do you have a build thread for this Blazer?

Good luck, Rg

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

I have not started one yet, I guess I should get one going.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Removed my transfer case to get it rebuilt for my 6.0 LS / 4L60 swap.:metal:

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Got a little more painting done.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Blasted and primed the frame... Trying to choose what to top coat it with. I might try some thinned down bed liner sprayed on with an hvlp gun with 2.0 tip for the top coat.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

I got tired of the Blazer Hedman's scraping the ground, ended up with exhaust leak so I got some Chevelle Hedman headers. They're thicker and pretty nice looking. Didn't use the gaskets that came with though. Also swapped out both cross members with cut-out cross members from CPP. Plenty of clearance now.

Not super exciting but I added a light to my center console

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

There was an old 70s era roll bar in the parts Blazer I bought....in the process of modifying it for a better fit.....
need to finish welding it....sandblast..... and go to powder coat.

I bought a nice new set of 3 point retractable seat belts from MCB Matt one of our vendors...
gonna mount the top link to the roll bar......

rear supports were too short to fit on top of the wheel hubs

added 9" to them

view from the back..the pic makes it look taller than the windshield....
it's actually shorter

final fitting before welding the supports in

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
 

Broda, you need to show more pics of this blazer, it's really nice. Did you buy the 67-68 trim from Mar-K? How did you install it? I have it but I'm far from paint so it will be 1 to 13 years before I get it on...
