Re: 1972 Blazer 5.3 E85/ NV4500 5spd 4x4 Build

The aftermarket cowl hood didnt fit worth a sh*t so i ended up having to cut it.

Before, the rear of the hood was too wide to fit between the fenders. here you can see my sharpie line of the material i needed to remove



i cut straight down the hoods edge and removed abt 1/8"-3/16" from each side and tacked closed



Finished edge and near perfect body gap





Had to have someone come and help install the windshield, boy what a bear to install with the stainless trim. well worth the money but i ended up having to help the whole time! oh well at least i now know another how to.



The blazer and i took a drive this morning... This is me gettin her loaded on the trailer. (hint: bodywork is completely finito)



pics tomorrow of how it turned out.
