Blazer hatch. Can you fix it? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

One question: Was that used as an offensive or defensive weapon?

And then, after cleaning, reinforcement, fiberglass, finishing sanding.. and painting...will it be strong enough to put the glass and gasket back in it .

I do have a blazer the hatch belongs to. So it would return to the top if I am able to piece humpty dumpty back together again. The blazer was from Kentucky and is rotted pretty bad! Idk if the truck will be back on the road. Infact, I will have to post some pictures for input on that subject next.

Yeah no kidding! Thats the condition how I received it. The truck was from Kentucky, Melbourne I believe at one point. Someone painted that on the rear. I wonder if there is any pictures of the Blazer when it was alive. Kinda get the feeling it was used in the mud jamborees out there!

After looking at it on a computer instead of my phone I would not waste my time the glass is badly deteriorated you just don’t have any thing to work with

Yeah I know people make molds and build crazy things from fiberglass. Maybe better to seperate the seams and make a new one from the molds.

That looks pretty rough. I'm about to have mine repaired but it's only a few spots. Anyone have any idea where to find the latch hardware?
