Quoted for the irony.


Hes the guy who did the quarter swap thread.
Plus that is an older pic, I believe he already replaced it

Edit: darn internet sarcasm

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

Found it, can't believe that guy couldn't salvage the old one. :sumo:

Time to change your .sig

SELLING ONE RUST FREE BLAZER TUB...

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

False advertising, ya caught me. :rolleyes:

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

Huge relief today...

After working the 4 parts trucks into one, I was fairly nervous about how the doors where going to line up, tried em last year but that was a mess due to the lack of body mounts.

Tried the doors again after welding up the 'a' pillars and was really hoping for the best.

I'm happy to report they fit pretty damn good for the initial test fit. :metal:


Party on, the hard work is now complete. :ennyd:

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

This is the tub that's up for sale, right?

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

Thought we went over that already...:rolleyes:




J/K - yeah, that's the one.

Gotta order a pass. side inner kick panel, then it's primer time.

I think I'll offer it up with an engine, tranny & t-case installed too.

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

Passenger side is all good too. :c2:

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

Blow it outta your arse:lol:

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

I sense a little hostility in those words...

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

Nah, self pity...incredible feat he just pulled off. But, he's just gonna bounce off a tree:lol:

Sorry if you thought that, nothing of the kind was intended

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

Nice work!

Man that thing is looking great!

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

dang Kurt, you're kicking ass on this one!

ya know after the copper one is gone, and the orange one is built you'll have to find another 2 or 3 to work on! :haha:

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

Naw...done building blazers for awhile after the orange one is finished.

All the recent building time that's been sunk into these two will later be used as "driving time"!!

I think you need the brown tub for making more blazer parts to sell us. :devil:



:flagw:

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

Nothing major got done over the weekend but I did get the pass. floor seam & firewall brace burnt in.

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

You know you need this. :b69:

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

Kurt, just gotta say, AWESOME WORK,dude!

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

I'm not sure if it's as much a need thing, as a want thing. :lol:

Problem is, the "play" money is still a little thin right now. :whine:

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

Ain't that the truth...

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

Passengers side inner kick panel ordered...waiting for that.

Got the drivers floor seam done along with the firewall brace and finished up the drivers side lower 'a' pillar connection.

Got tired of welding/grinding, so I goofed around with a little bit of mud wanting to see if the all the fuss was paying off. ;)

Went a few steps ahead of the 'normal progress steps' but it feels good to see at least that section in primer.

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

Great job

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

Had a customer cancel the day on me, I simply replied "thank you" knowing full well what I could do instead. :D

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

I really apreciate how much you show all of us and your work is an inspiration!!

I have got to visit some day

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

There's always a place to park here. ;)

Thanks for the words.


Picked up a fresh supply of epoxy primer yesterday. :devil:

It really feels good to have this coming together like it is, after four years I'd almost given up.

A couple before/after pics.

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub
 

VT, along the lines of the welding your doing. Are you using Gas? What flow rate do you use for the gas? CUft/HR? I just upgraded from flux wire to gas and I'm experimenting with the settings and would like to know if I'm in the ball park. I know it all depends on the type of welder, wire feed speed etc. I'm using a HF Chicago MIG. Be interesting to know what others are doing.

Just some general info on what works for you would be great, Thanks
