Cut down some truck doors today. Also bought a new welder for my b-day to do this myself!

Not sure I am going to be able to finish this project. Going to have back surgery and may have to sell all of it. Will wait till I talk to doctor to decide. Hopefully can keep and finish.

You are an inspiration. I need to find a frame and get going on it like this. Hopefully you won't have to sell, but I'm sure you wouldn't have any issues if you had to. You'll be in my thoughts, good luck at the doctor.

I just found this. I'm subbing to watch. I'm sending good thoughts and prayers for you.

You'll need something to work on once the back heals...

Ok so I decided to keep going on this and bought some new doors and hinges but the new hinges do not fit very good so I used the new bottom ones and the original ones on top and made a world of difference. Will post pics later. Also still working on sheet metal and learning a lot by doing this myself(Not saying it is perfect but getting the concept).

What brand of hinges did you buy that did not work so well? Looks like it all lines up pretty good now from that last pic!

I got the Hinges from SKC. The top one was the only one that fit different but with a little work I think it will be ok. I have started to line up the panels and so far everything is looking good.

That looks awesome! Glad to see you pushing forward.

Bought a aftermarket tailgate and did not fit at all. Looking for a good tailgate if you have one let me know.

Re: 1972 Blazer undecided!!
 
Hmmm - makes me wonder about the tailgate I have waiting to be installed.

Any updates to share on this project?

twp1 07-22-2019 07:47 AM

Re: 1972 Blazer undecided!!
 
ok. So I bought another tailgate(Woodall) and it fits perfect! Must be something wrong with the other manufacture. Found out not my back but going to have complete hip replacement. I will post some more pictures in the next couple of days.

Re: 1972 Blazer undecided!!
 
Ok. Had total hip replacement and in process of recovery! Was doing a swap on a friends blazer and almost done. As soon as I can get moving going to finish and start back on mine.

Re: 1972 Blazer undecided!!
 
Rest up! Glad to hear you are healing up so you can get back after this Blazer.

I'm hoping for quick and full recovery
