Re: 71 Blazer "Finishing Touches"

well, that last pic doesn't actually do justice to how clean the underside is...it's a little dusty right now but amazing shape...

the big project for the evening was getting the paint booth together...the first attempt was 1" and just not sturdy enough...



Ended up getting 2" PVC. Used 11 pieces and cut three in half at 5' tall. Combined with the 45 degree fittings the peak is at 11 1/2 feet. It's a little over 20' long and about 15' wide.
Here is the assembly process....ended up gluing the main joints....can always cut and use couplings later to re-use this.


One end


Center fitting


Used old cat litter containers filled with sand for the base for stability....put the lids on and cut the holes slightly smaller for a tight fit. Has worked great so far.


This thing is BIG
