Re: New member with barn find
I like the patina it already has.

Re: New member with barn find
It's been so nice out I had to take the top off, I've been waiting to drive it topless ever since I bought it.

Re: New member with barn find
That looks fantastic John. I hope it came off smoothly without any trauma to those beautiful and fresh finishes....Don't forget, still looking forward to a pic towing the Chevelle.;)

Re: New member with barn find
Thanks Brad, It was stressful removing the top for the first time. I slid some towels in between the top and quarters then set the top on some 4x4 blocks. I have a warn x9000 from my old jeep up in the attic of the garage, I just passed the cable thru the ceiling.
Someday I'd like to tow the chevelle, that's what I set it up to do. |
Re: New member with barn find
Awesome find. Good to see another one from pa. I've only seen one other one in my area. But not in the last few years besides mine. You did great restoration on her.

Re: New member with barn find

It never dawned on me until a few minutes ago while working on the ole tub that mine must have had the spare tire carrier at one time. Irked me enough I had to come search thru your build again until I found your pics showing where the mounts actually are. If you look at my pic you can see spot painting was done after they removed the brackets. Oh well hopefully one day mine will be half as nice as your rig. Richard |
Re: New member with barn find
Thanks Richard, I wonder if the upper bracket is still in your quarter panel. You would have to remove the side marker light and see if the rod is there.
I've been taking my blazer to the local cruise nights and made friends with a guy with another green blazer. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...ps3iiwimef.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...psal7haudm.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...psy1gat4mj.jpg |

Re: New member with barn find
Got my A/C working, I was relieved when the cold air started coming out of the vents. I didn't think it work again, also went to the local cruise night and met a couple other blazer owners. We were able to get them parked side by side.

Re: New member with barn find
Finally got a soft top, I made it all last summer topless and got rained on one time. Luckily I had an umbrella with me and I wasn't too far from home and yes I drove with an umbrella up. I was worried about the door glass fitment after reading about others having problems but everything fits very well. I don't like the idea of sticking Velcro on the tailgate so I'm looking for some magnetic rod. So far I found 1/8" by 1" rod from home depot, I could join them together. Looks like I can make a small slit in the Velcro on the soft top and slide in the magnetic rod in-between the top and Velcro. I'll keep ya posted on how it works.

Re: New member with barn find
Looks great.

Re: New member with barn find
If anyone is going to the Wildwood NJ Boardwalk car show tomorrow look me up. I drove the blazer down to a friend's house in wildwood today. The blazer did great doing 70 to 75 with traffic at around 2400rpm with the top down. I'll post some pics of the show.
|
Re: New member with barn find
Definitely take pics. Mine is almost always the only first gen at car shows I've been to. Even in the parking lot and not in the shows it draws a crowd. Lol. I don't like to take my truck Over 55. 4.10 gears I Put in aren't that great for highway. I should have left it 3.73 gears but you live and learn.

Re: New member with barn find
Looks like they had some cool cars.
|
Re: New member with barn find
They had some really nice cars but Johns blazer stood out in a crowd.
It was nice to meet him and get an up close look at his blazer. |
Re: New member with barn find
Good to meet ya Jeremy, I didn't make the top 40 but that's OK, there was a lot of nice cars too see and we had a blast making some noise in wildwood.
|
Re: New member with barn find
I'll never make the top 40 in mine but it's still fun to show up. The judges won't pick Mine but it is always a crowd favorite. I enjoy just being there.

Re: New member with barn find
Sure is nice, pricey too but not really when compared to a new truck and it basically is new but with more style.

Re: New member with barn find
I hope John made out well on it. There was a lot of work put into this rig.
At the price these guys have on it you would think that you would at least get matching window cranks. |
Re: New member with barn find
HI guys, looks like there looking for the guy that's gotta have it but that's ok, can't hurt to try. I got more than half that so I'm happy. It's also been seen on snap chat, something like the history of the blazer.
