Out in the yard untill I get the bronze one 'at least' into primer but assembly will continue over the winter.

That's the intent, for Greg & I to drive em out there.

AJ, you should hook up with us on the way!

vtblazer · 09-12-2009, 05:37 PM

AJ - you in?

AJs72K5 · 09-12-2009, 05:48 PM

I could be....and I may be drivable by then.

I think bigblock72 over on CK5 lives in Utah...

EDIT: Perhaps a roadtrip thread needs to be started on one or both sites. Wouldn't wanna muck up your build thread

Perhaps...

Have four on the list already.

Hey Kurt, how much for the orange Blazer???? Just teasin'. I'm glad you decided to keep it. I really wanna see it completed. Its a tough rig.

Hey...don't you have some sanding to be doin'?

J/K - Nice progress on yours, I wish I were at the stage already.

vtblazer · 09-20-2009, 11:24 AM

Waiting for sheet metal for the other blazer body that's taking up space in the shop, so I figured I could at least paint something.

Core support for both blazers got the gun last night with POR and today with shiny gloss black.

It's sitting 1/2 in and 1/2 out of the sun, so this is the best pic I was able to get.

Tough getting a decent picture of something SO black.

TonyJohnson · 09-20-2009, 12:28 PM

Do you have a dedicated gun for the POR?

No, I just change the settings on the gun a bit and deal with it being thicker.

**I think the next step with this one should be getting the sound deadener sprayed into the interior.

Then if I can get a good 'productive' weekend, spray color on the firewall & the interior at the same time.

Not looking forward to plumbing the frame, just don't care for doing that part.

vtblazer · 10-12-2009, 06:35 PM

Small change in plans...

Potentially have this unmolested, rust free 69 tub sold, the sale is pending but I'm confident it'll go through.

Stay tuned...might be time to start another build thread.

Sacramento70 · 10-13-2009, 03:24 PM

your blazer rocks dude, i wish my was that clean

msgross · 10-13-2009, 05:37 PM

what black paint do you use? I am thinking powdercoat on mine but want the core support and inner fenders to match...
