Nice work, I think I have put on and taken the doors off of my jimmy 10 times each. I'm getting pretty good at it!

Good luck, Rg

Nice build. Frame and underside look great. Subscribed. What size tip does the spray gun have that you sprayed the liner with and how much air pressure did you use?

I used one of the cheap $30 guns with a 2.5 tip. I believe I had the pressure set at 40psi

As the title of this thread indicates this blazer has a bit of parts from a blazer, Jimmy, and 67-68 C10. It's got the 67-78 front clip but the PO kept the Jimmy bumper for some reason. Nothin a hammer won't fix.

Spent almost a full day turning large round holes into smaller square holes... A small detail that will be lost to everyone but me.

How did you make the Jig for the body? I am about to pull the body off mine soon and that looks like a good idea.

Did four years at Eustis, did not care for all the I-64 mess....

Jig was pretty simple. Just 2 2x6s some leftover plywood and a hand full of carriage bolts.

Discussed it a little more in the link below but I pretty much just threw it together using leftovers stuff I had laying around.

I live about 15 minutes from eustis and work at the shipyard.... Don't care much for the area myself. Would like to head out west to get away from this horrible humidity.

[71meangreenc10]

Out west is where it is at...I love Sierra Vista, not oven hot like Tucson or Phoenix, just got to drive a little to get what I need.

Im going to shoot some skin or raptor on my under carriage.

That jig is just the ticket I needed...

I like the raptor liner for the undercarriage. Easy to get different textures with it so you can dial it in to fit your preference. I don't think I'd ever use it for it's intended purpose as a bed liner though. Seems to hard and slick for that.

Awesome info.

This thing is slick!

Finally got a warm enough weekend to shoot some liner on the inside of the top. Came out pretty nice.

Tried to upload a few pics but getting an error message.

[71meangreenc10]

Nice work on the top. You said you shot raptor through HVLP. What was the needle size?

[stangtjk]

Finally able to upload pictures... Deleted browsing history and cookies and it started working again.....

I only used the hvlp to shoot the raptor liner on the frame using a 2.5 tip. Everything else I've done using the schutz gun.

[SeventyOne]

This is an awesome build! More please.

Started mounting the winch. I plan on clocking the clutch 180 so it sicks out the top of the mounting plate. With the 67-78 front clip I should be able to just reach into the bottom slot of the grill to access it.

Nice build & a testament to talent & perseverance !

Sweet project! Look forward to progress

I installed another 220v circuit in the garage this evening for a plasma cutter. I've been looking to buy a plasma cutter for a while now. I had planned to get the hypertherm powermax45 xp but I happened to stumble across an ebay deal on one of those chinese cut50 machines. Brand new for $125 which is about the cost of a consumable kit for the powermax45. Normally the cut50 is about $200 which is still really cheap. For $125 I expected to receive a paper weight but the damn thing actually works. I'm sure it doesn't cut as nice as the powermax45 but for now it does the job.. I'd like to set up a small cnc plasma sometime. When that day comes I may look at the powermax again but the cut50 will do fine cutting the rust out of the scout ii.

[stangtjk]

Almost ready to reassemble the doors.

[stangtjk]

Started fabricating the exhaust.... I need some more practice with tig. I can join two pieces of metal but doesn't come out near as pretty as I'd like so I'm going to sand and polish out the welds.

[stangtjk]

Ignore the tie wire.... Still need to add exhaust hangers.

[K5 MAX]

Awesome work, your progress and K5 is looking great. All the rust repair pics will help me in the future. Thank you sir. Subscribed

Thanks for the support...

I installed some sound deadening inside the rear quarters today. Going to try to do the same for the inner bedside and get the put back in today.

Its crazy how much a difference it makes. Stops that ting and ring sound when you tap on the panels, makes more of a thud. Went around tapping all the panels in my other vehicles and you could easily tell where the factory used sound dampening. On my Sierra the doors were dampened but nothing in the fenders. My girlfriends kia seemed to have nothing anywhere and the old scout rang like a wind chime when you tapped anywhere on it.

Nice work
