Re: Hemi's 70 Blazer build

Here's a few items I've been working on;
I got the gas-can/sub done, and I'm quite surprised at how well it works. I line the inside of the can with 3 layers of Peel&Seal I had left over, and it really made it heavy and dense.

Another thing I wanted to do was find a better way of mounting the side bars that come with the Softopper. The little angle bracket that they send looks kinda crappy, so I machined some out of brass and use an existing mounting hole on the door opening weatherstrip. I still need to powder coat it.

I'm not sure if 71 and 72 Blazers use the plastic piece on the door just below the 1/4 window, but mine was missing one. I couldn't find replacement ones anywhere, so I also made these from brass and then powdercoated them satin black. I'm real happy with how they turned out.
