Looks like she has a little rust. Why did you pull the outter skins off? Is it easier to work the inner structure or do you have som other plans?

Re: Porterbuilt Blazer Project
 

I will be replacing the quarters with SWB bed-sides... I did a lot of thinking (I know... look out!) and figured this would be the best way to get the new panels to line up best. There are a couple spots on the inner panels that need to be replaced as well. One other advantage is that I will be able to shave and metal finish the 'new' replacement quarter skins to near perfection before they go back on, as well as undercoat the inside of both panels, and it will be easier to do the new wheel tubs this way, and... and... and...

GET OUT OF MY HEAD! And leave those thoughts were you found them!:lol: I just got a very nice set of blazer sides for mine and I will be doing the exact same thing.
Looking good as always! You are so right about it being much easier to work those things off the rig. It almost makes it fun:crazy:

hey Kevin,those Blazer bed sides look like the one's form Fairfield. i was looking at the windsheild frame but it had real heavy surface rust ,so i can only imagine what was going on in the inside of that thing. Tony

Re: Porterbuilt Blazer Project

:metal: This build is gonna be sweet! Luv the pro touring Camaro ;)

:phat: AND :bling:

Re: Porterbuilt Blazer Project
 

Well I am glad you passed because they are in great shape. I took about 30sec with a da anf the shinny metal was all you saw. That windshield frame is also in great shape. The surface rust is just that on the surface and the inside is clean with zero rust other than surface.

Re: Porterbuilt Blazer Project
 

Yeah... it's a rollbar... sort of.

Re: Porterbuilt Blazer Project
 

I found two really nice bed sides give me a call.

Re: Porterbuilt Blazer Project
 

Bedsides are in the near future??

Re: Porterbuilt Blazer Project
 

Some progress has been made... I will post up some more detailed pics once the "rust repair" is done. The truck bedside skins are mocked up and the pass. side floor/rocker/A and B pillar patches/rocker box etc. are just about finished up.

Nathan,
Looking good. Keep us posted. I haven't seen you much lurking on here but I guess I see why. You have been busy.

Re: Porterbuilt Blazer Project
 

Carter...stop looking at the Blazer pics; I know it's killing you

Re: Porterbuilt Blazer Project
 

Jon, I know... Its some kinda sick obsession. Look at my join date-june of 2000. 7 years on this board and of that time I have had a blazer for less that a year of that time. And the was 6 years ago that I owned the blazer.

Carter at least your blazer was featured....

Re: Porterbuilt Blazer Project
 

You makig any headway on this one, Nathan? I'm wanting to see how far into the bed area everything has to go to get that corvette rear planted on the ground. I'm contemplating the C4 rear to minimize the amount that I need to raise the back seat. And if I go with C4 rear, I kind of "have" to have a C4 front right?

I know when I visited you told me that I probably didn't need the C4 dropmember for what I wanted to do, but I can't help it. I don't "need" a convertible Blazer either, I just want it.

Re: Porterbuilt Blazer Project
 

Dude, that last pic. gave me flashbacks. Had to walk out to the shop to make sure it was dun.

What tool did you use to cut the rocker box flange, my angle grinder/cutoff wheel ain't getting very far?? J.

Nice work so far...

Re: Porterbuilt Blazer Project
 

Any progress?
