Re: My winter project

Thanks, I like the color combo also, I thought it was a repaint when I looked it over. I didn't think that was a color option for blazers.

Re: My winter project

Well the interior is all out, seats, carpet, sides panels and I have a little rust....
Windshield head is gone, has anyone tried to modify one from a truck cab?

Thanks

Re: My winter project

I've never seen a truck header used but they do reproduce it now. Check out gmc Paul's. I didn't know they had a white black combo either. I would love to have that top.

Re: My winter project

I know now why some blazers don't get finished or put back together the right way. I'm looking at replacement panels and parts well over 2k and no labor. humm.. my bean counter might put a slow down on things. but I have one!!!!

Re: My winter project

Your best bet is to keep it running and driving for now. Then you can slowly pick at needed repairs and enjoy it, they are still fun even if they are not perfect.

Re: My winter project

Thanks guys. I have tons of things the blazer needs before rally wheels but it helps me see through the ugly.

Re: My winter project

You know, get yourself a lawn chair and you have a driver there...

It looks like a good project. I'm curious how the rust gets going in the center of the header. That seems like an odd place.

My head hits the top with a lawn chair but a five gallon bucket and a little balance I can move it around some. As far as the rust in windshield header I think the cans of spray foam may have contributed to some that, I also had home insulation stuffed in the bedsides which helped with the rust around the wheel wells and floors.

Re: My winter project

I sprayed the door panels with a plastic coating. What do you think just trim or wood insert.

Tom, I used an exterior trim and plastic coating in satin black made for touching up on bumpers. I went this route to help with scratches and everyday use the panels get.

Re: My winter project

Where did you find the rally wheels? I've been looking for some just like those but all I seem to find is beat up bent ones.

Re: My winter project

I'll be doing body mounts soon as well, feel free to offer any worthwhile advice. Also, do you have any details on the roll bar or if that same model can be bought somewhere? It looked like you were able to find yours used.
thanks

I used the information that is here on the site for replacing the body mounts and is very useful. Worthwhile advice I would say is get a bunch of good dust/particle masks or respirator and safety glasses because you will be getting a ton of rust junk in you face.
If your mounts have never been replaced cut the bolt heads off spray WD or something and drive them out and you will save yourself a bunch of time.
