I found out that truck bed liner will come off the the hatch with a little heat, prying and pulling but fairly easy to remove. I was also surprised the hatch was in pretty good shape.

Well after rolling around on my back scraping, grinding, and sanding the underside of the tub and frame it's time to paint. I used a roll-on satin black on the underside of the tub and can spray the frame. Trans and transfer case ready to go back in.

Re: My winter project
Yes it does thanks and very nice, any reason you didn't paint the under side of the hood white?

Re: My winter project
Thank you, and glad it helped. No particular reason that I recall, but I think would look nice as well.

Re: My winter project
Wow... you’ve made a lot of progress since I saw you last!

Re: My winter project
Looks good like the process.

Re: My winter project
So you decided on the white firewall; looks good!

Re: My winter project
Thanks guys, I know it's a yawning build and nothing like some of the members have done but I'll keep playing.

Starting to put these back where they go. I'll clean the outside engine for some paint and I'll be ready for the next move.

I've started some motor assembly and have a question, the exhaust manifold is very close to the starter and previous exhaust shop made it work by sizing the pipe to fit around the starter, should I change to different manifold before I break in.
Thanks 7D2N |

Thanks Jack B, the engine is not original to the blazer but 1970 block. I'll look for some straight down type.

Engine is painted and on the run stand, cleaning up misc brackets and stuff. I'll need a few little things then I can start it up.
|
Re: My winter project
I could use some help or info if I may. I have my motor on the run stand and plan to start soon, question is should I fill the trans and transfer case with fluids until I put the engine in?
Thanks 7D2N |
