Aint that the truth man! I have really surprised myself at how quickly I have adapted to body work, as you well know. But the others, this truck is my first attempt at body welding and filler (except for small dings). I am VERY happy with way she is turning out. This is just making me want to tackle larger projects. This one is an easy build by all means except for the few custom fabrication ideas i have on it. We will see what the final look turns out to be.

[98GMCSierraGuy]

Yeah its making me feel like my slide hammer idea wont work and Ill have to cut and weld that panel

[bulldog2513]

Been a little sick this week (pink eye) so didnt get to work on Blue till yesterday. Have gotten a lot accomplished though. Shes coming right along. About to get to the point where the custom fab starts. Looking forward to that.

[bulldog2513]

Got the dents on the b pillars fixed and primered.

[bulldog2513]

Well my hood is 99 percent finished. Got the damage repairs finished and got it in primer. All that is left is to dress up the welds on the underside and hide em with mud.

[bulldog2513]

That rust coated roof is no more. Sanded it all down and got a fresh coat of primer on it.

[bulldog2513]

Gettin ready for the roll pan. Took that junky ol bumper off (she looks like she has a wider stance without it lol). Thanks to the idiot PO welding the bumper brackets on, I played hell. Also started on the tail gate, getting the emblems and factory metal trim off and started sanding. Tomorrow I will get the holes welded up and may start my fab on it relocating the handle to the inside. MAYBE lol

What did you do with the old chrome rear bumper? Looking good by the way.

its still sittin out here by the shed with the tag on it lol its not in that good of shape. prob end up scrapping it. and thanks, its a lot of work but i sure am happy with the results so far.

[98GMCSierraGuy]

Cool I need to go find some all we have is painted ones lol thats what the two trucks come with and my bro swapped the chrome one of my dads green truck and put it on his 88.

[bulldog2513]

if yall have a pull-a-part (or equivalent) over there that would be the best place to look. you do the work but it sure does cost a lot less

[98GMCSierraGuy]

Yeah we got LKQ its a parts place that you can take parts for cheap so I'll look their and see if not I'll just paint my bumpers silver of with spray chrome, though I doubt it looks like chrome.

I know where you can get a pristine bumper for your dads truck but its here in Ga. Hit dragonwrecker up and he can get the price for you. It may be worth a trip to pick it up. Its in new condition. Same truck I got my doors from today.

[bulldog2513]

WOW! Fathers Day was GREAT for Blue! Got the tailgate mostly finished today and many many thanks to my brother, Dragonwrecker, she is sporting a set of updated doors from a 94 Blazer. Also got her a new grill and all new door rubbers. Blue is coming together ahead of schedule!

[bulldog2513]

Heres a few before and after shots of the doors. Its so nice to be able to roll the windows down, lock the doors and have the body lines match up. Thanks brother! Oh and a pic of the broken grill we took off.

[dragonwrecker]

no problem brother anytime.its nice to use the shop when you need it now isnt it? now to get the seats from that truck and get them in :

[dragonwrecker]

[98GMCSierraGuy]

[dragonwrecker]
