Re: New member with barn find
Well, after two years of picking away at this think its off to the painters. I feel like I lost an old friend but it will be back and I have the top and drivetrain to get started on.

Re: New member with barn find
Well at least you know he is slow, maybe that means excellent work and low price, one can hope right.

Re: New member with barn find
John, that is one of my fav. camera angles (3/4 view) . Truck looks great, nice job on all the gaps. What wheels are you going to use, or is that something your keeping to yourself till the build is complete
|
Re: New member with barn find
Awesome news John! Can't wait to see her in paint.

Re: New member with barn find
I have these 9.75 steelies. I'm going to paint them white with the hub caps. I'm thinking BFG 16'5-35's. I know the BFG's run small + my axles have 456 gears, I hope they will fit with the 1 tons and the 2 1/2 lift. the 35's should help keep the engine rpm down a bit more than 33's.

Re: New member with barn find
That will look slick, always like that look. Beauty rings or not? Dont know if they make them for 16.5 wheels...i thick the 35s and 4 1/2s should be perfect
Had the bike out today for four hours, had a walk in inspection on fri. and sat. at my shop i use, so i just decided to keep it out and ride. Hows yours running? |
Re: New member with barn find
Progress pics, I stopped by the body shop today to test fit some moldings and get some pics. I'm happy with it so far, he really dialed the doors in far better that I had them. The pass side door is a repop and it was giving me a hard time. He also pulled and did a rough coat on some dents. He's mainly working on the quarters right now but soon he wants to pull the frontend off and get it ready to cut it in. I forgot to ask about the windshield, with the frontend off I think it would be a good time to install it.

Re: New member with barn find
Coming along nicely, the door gaps are spot on. Your to be a cool ride.

Re: New member with barn find
I got a couple more pics from the body shop Today, It doesn't look like it's getting any farther but he has the doors, fenders and tailgate ready for paint and he is working on the door jams and firewall. I can't wait till it's all in one color primer.

Re: New member with barn find
It is hard to wait, but the thing is that it is yours and coming along a step at a time, going to rock I tell you, sits so nice already.

Re: New member with barn find
Looks like it's almost done at the body shop, I better finish up the hard top before the blazer comes home. I got the top sander down to remove the texture and fix all the chips. I'm going to use tintible Raptor bed liner, I just got the white paint and thiner today.

Re: New member with barn find
Is the truck going the inside body color for the exterior, prob right, what about the top, white? Just trying to get a vision.
|
Re: New member with barn find
Yes, I'm going to stick with the orignal medium olive green with the white top and some 9.75 x 16.5 steelies painted white.
|
Re: New member with barn find
Looking damn nice John
|
Re: New member with barn find
John, you have to be happy that you changed out that 73 bed for the correct one now, cause it looks amazing....alot of hard work went into that old truck. Good job
|
Re: New member with barn find
That is going to look sweet with the white top and the white 16.5's with the caps. Can hardly wait to see it.
|

Re: New member with barn find
Congrats, now the reassembly fun begins....that was almost painless
|
Re: New member with barn find
Thanks guys. I'll get some better pics when it's in the driveway, the paint booth was kind of small. I just got done spraying tint able raptor bed liner on most of the top, I'm trying to get it done before the blazer comes home so I can get it out of the garage but I ran out of color. I got the inside and outside top done but still need to finish the sides and hatch. Now how do I get bed liner out of my hair?

Re: New member with barn find

Re: New member with barn find
wow that looks great.

Re: New member with barn find
That turned out sooo nice, nicer than the color of money, can't wait to see it come together.
|
Re: New member with barn find
I been working on installing trim on the blazer and got the top sprayed with tintable raptor bed liner. I came out nice, even had enough to do the inside. the texture is very similar to the factory, a little lumpy but close enough for me. I did end up spraying it with color to even it out.

Re: New member with barn find
Heres some pics of the progress I've made so far. It's very time consuming cleaning every nut and bolt. I'm glad I took lots of pics before taking it apart.
