What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?

What was your process for install? Did you make paper templates?

I think the trim was purchased from Classic Parts. I put the studded clips on the trim piece and a little wax on the end of the stud. Line up and press. Wax tells me where to drill. Use 1/8” bit then increase in size 2-3 time until 1/4” bit. Measure at edges of the doors, rear of fenders and front of tub pieces. Also trim the front door trim stud so it doesn’t hit the back of the lower door hung with the door fully open. Cut off before installing or if you are working on a lift you can access by pulling the bottom fender bolt and cut with an air saw or carbide bit.

The trim looks really good. Sone of the aftermarket trim I’ve seen, the woodgrain looks really light. That is going to be a nice Blazer.

Thanks. Been going together pretty well so far. Not clean but outside before the snow started.
