I've been getting a little done as I can and trying to get the Blazer put back together so I can drive it this winter. Here are some pics!

Paint is looking good.

Be careful with using those braces between the rollbar and winshield frame. Might seem like a good way to stabilize the frame/firewall, but it has a drawback. There is a lot of movement between the winshield and rollbar when the truck flexes and twists, and when you put a rigid brace between them, the winshield frame looses the battle every time. Those braces will fatigue the winshield metal at the bolts and eventually rip them out. Ask me how I know :)

Lookin' good, keep it up...how many coats is that, nice choice of color. The glove box and fender gives the best angle for what it will look like, neat stuff

Ya, I was seeing that already, the passenger side is pulling on that bolt already. I think once I get the top on and locked down, I'll pull them out.

I'll be excited when I'm actually driving it! I've been trying to get to this point for 7 years!

Looks awesome, I know what it's like to have a truck in builders purgatory.
I took my short box apart in 2002, and I'm not even halfway done the mock-up never mind final assembly:)
