Re: My winter project
The engine compartment looks great!

Re: My winter project
I get that.

Re: My winter project
I just looked at you build, and i'm concerned about the way you applied the panel bond. It looks like you only have 1/2" TO 3/4" overlap. This will be prone to fail.

I'm starting bucket seat repair, the seat part will need to be replaced with some metal repair and new springs. I would like to save the backrest part do you think it's possible or complete new seat foam.

Re: My winter project
I'm not aware of anyone selling just the bottom buns, it comes in a set. Also, a couple of months ago, no one had any in stock, they were all on backorder.

I got on the backorder list for seat foam and covers no turning back now. I have a couple of areas that need some metal work addressed but for the most part pretty happy with the condition.

Re: My winter project
Looks pretty good, actually.

I'm fixing some of the seat frames problems. Does anyone know the gauge of the bottom springs?

I cleaned the seat track and supports. Too cold to paint just yet.
|
Re: My winter project
Pretty sure its 9 guage zigzag spring, you should be able to find it on ebay.

I'm going to try to save both hatches, they need a fair amount of work. Here are a few pictures.

A few more, I had to make the inside handle support it was rusted away. My bucket seat foam showed up!!
|
Re: My winter project
Was it common on the Blazer/Jimmy for the frame of the seat get all rusty like that? Do trucks with buckets have the same problem, seems odd to me.

Finished the hatch handle support part and will work great. I started some fiberglass repairs.

Re: My winter project
Great work on your project. I’m not sure I saw you mention what brand seat covers you went with. Do you mind sharing?

Re: My winter project
Thanks for the info. I bought the same set for my blazer from a board member a while back but no telling when I’ll get around to installing it so interested to see how it works out for you.

I'm finished with my fiberglass work. Now some filler, texture, and paint. I did repair a couple of rounded corners.

Small update on the hatch repair. I'm doing the body filler over the fiberglass repairs and going to use this top, has some issues but is better in the long run.

I finished the repairs on my top and had it Raptor Lined. I planned to try the raptor coating myself but if you add the cost of the product, misc things, and clean up sometimes it's better left in the pro's hands.

Re: My winter project
Terrific work,as usual. Always enjoy your updates
|
Re: My winter project
Incredible going through start to now and watching the progress. I am in the chassis/fuel & brake line phase of mine.
I noticed that you said those seats weren't factory to your Blazer-what were they out of? I am still looking for something low-backed that I can get that are as close to the original as possible. Original buckets would be ideal but ya know how that goes... |

Hatches repaired. I used the NAPA stone guard for the texture and the 521GM paint. Thanks to Deadman for sharing what he used on his top.

Top and hatch seals showed up and they seem to fit well. How do you guys get them to stick in place? hope not to use messy weather strip glue.
