I have a cat and a kitten living in/around my K5 now

Manbearpig · 10-04-2009, 11:49 PM

Made me a big fiberglass square of the rear floor last night to fill these rot spots up

Pictures are from last November.

They are big black holes now

tvblazer78 · 10-05-2009, 09:04 AM

So they are bigger now?

Just make sure you put some kind of rust fix on it, the best way is to brush it on. If not it will just come back..

I'm going to use glass to fill up the holes until I get a wire welder and some new panels to replace them.

Haven't been working on the Blazer much lately since I've gotten myself into another project

But to update this
Since my last post I've upgraded the headlights to 5000k HID's and what a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEE difference that made.

Before I could barely see at night with my lowbeams. Now I don't even have the need for my lower halogen high beams

Also picked up another set of Vortec heads for it.

Also, here is my other project.

It's a 1977 Firebird that currently has a locked up Pontiac 350 in it
Going to be building up a LS1 for it. Although I'm thinking about trying to trade my LS1 block for a 6.0 block to stroke it out to a 402
