Re: Project: 40/Yr old makeover.

Look at the wonderful mess I have here. The floor is welded up solid and a good portion of my tools are in various places everywhere.

Another thing I will mention is that the body mount bolt hole does not bottom out on the big heavy plate under it. I drilled the hole in the floor replacment panel and dropped the bolt in. But I had to WD40 the threads and sucked the floor down only after all of it was welded. That way it streaches the metal down into the pocket and don't screw up everything else I spent so much time on.

Next step is the outer rocker panel. Yup it needs some tweeking too. I had hoped for alot better But what can ya do.. It is what it is. The surface that gets seen on the body looks spot on so I'll do my mods and be happy.

That is of course if I can get my back section to line up rite. The piece is wider than the Blazer B pillar. so I have to figure out how to shorten that and keep the channel for the seal at the correct width.

I made some cuts to slim it down and I used some screws to hold it in place too. So far there are a bunch of things with this pannel that aren't adding up But i will get it done eventually. More coming....
