Looks great Dude!

Getting closer!

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

A question, why aren't you using the Blazer doors?

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

Already had these sitting in the shop and their gutted, which as you know means 'WAY LIGHTER' to work with along with the fact that when I was ready to hang doors, the blazer doors where buried in the snow bank.

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

Nice work, nice gap...those strap tie downs work great at pulling things together, just wish you could rachet them out like a comealong. See ya soon

Don't tell me you still have a snowbank

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

Hopefully the gaps work out with the K5 ones.

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

K5 doors and truck doors have the EXACT same dimensions.
In fact, all K5 doors began life as truck doors, then modified at the factory.

Aside from that to address your concerns, the door openings in the blazer are within factory spec's.

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

Cool

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

Heh, it's not your work I had concerns about... it's the doors in the snowbank.

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

Pass floor patch is in but not finished yet due to time constraints of the day.
Spot welded the nines outta this install, I almost feel bad for the next guy. :lol:

In an effort to avoid having a welded seam in a tough to get at area, I decided to go around the 'pre-shaped' floor area.

Everything got sprayed with weldable primer prior to the final install.

Friday should produce finished floor and rocker areas.

K5 DOORS: :(
Knew there was another reason I hadn't used the K5 doors that came with the tub but didn't remember until I went out and looked at em again.

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

Drivers door has the imfamous 'shoulder check' opening method dent.

Fairly bad, not only bent but it also has a tear.

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

Floor is looking good...doors, not so good.

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

How about the other two? (I think I gave you three... getting senile?)

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

Those pics are showing both of the blue doors, the third door is usable I believe.

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

What kinda spot welder do you have, I've only seen the one with arms, and they may not reach what I want to do

Never mind, looked at the pics again and seee what ya did

Clever solution to that problem area, woulda bin tough to do it the other way

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

Pass floor installed.

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

Pics of the rest of the sheet metal I picked up from you:

*White passengers door is not good either, you can see the bow it has and those holes in the bottom of the door are there because someone once pushed out a dent in the lower portion.
That area of the door is full of bondo too.
Lastly, that inner corner showing rust will for the most part disappear when sand blasted, I'd bet.

*Of the tailgates, only the Ochra one will be worth trying to use.

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

*Passenger fender looks good aside from the lower cup area that has been cut off.

* Drivers fender needs a lot of work tough.
See the area where the bondo is coming through the holes?
Another previous repair, that whole area is still full of bumps and ripples.

Your choice but IMO, you'll be money ahead using a set of repro fenders.

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

Did you have sheet metal that will work?

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

I do have a set of repro fenders as well as one set of good factory ones but need to figure out which set I'm using for my on going blazer build.

I have hoods, no good inner fenders tough.

I have a couple rad. supports but none that wouldn't need at least 'some' attention/rust repair/painting.

No doors either, sorry.

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

How tough would it be to cut a set of truck doors down? I have a nice set here. I also have a decent radiator support and hood. Inner fenders can be repops and wait.

I don't care about the lower cups on the fenders, they will be cut off to clear the winch bumper.

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

Rocker installed:

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

Very nice! :cool:

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

I am looking forward to finishing this thing off.

Re: Project: Bolt one on
 

Nice work, is this one done VT? How much gap are you left with between the rocker and the forward lower rear quarterpanel. Jon was asking me this, and I didn't know. I just usually center the rocker on the door. Thanks for the pics, it looks sweet
