Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

Another of those fine tuning, redesigning as you go along jobs.

I had a full sheet of 6mm ply from when I built the teardrop trailer 12 years ago.

And was loathe to cut it up…… Nick insisted that it was what I had saved it for… to be used.

Transferring the layout from the original cheap n nasty ply to the final version took a lot longer than planned.

But we know these jobs take just as long as they should.

It went in and out no less than 10 times to make the basic shape fit, and also for the steering column shroud to fit around and leave room for the vinyl and foam covering.



In Out In Out In Out……..

In Out In…….

Drivers side is slightly lower to cover fuse boxes, pedal boxes and various bits of low hardware.



Next up.

Fitting the instrument cluster.

That took forever.



Eventually happy, very happy.

Switch gear and side panels next.



At some point John the lodger came back home and as always, came to look, advise, help, poke fun.

And took some pics neither @nickwheeler nor I knew he was taking.



No, I have no clue either, but obviously busy with something that consumes time and necessitated being on my knees.

Still not done.
