1970blazin · 12-06-2003, 06:49 PM

We finally got the hardtop back today from the painter. Had a friend who builds boats hand sand the top down smooth and fix a few cracks, ect! It looks mint!!! The hatch is smooth also! Now we just had to get this blazer put back together and maybe we can actually drive it!!!!

1970blazin · 12-06-2003, 06:50 PM

Here is the hatch...

1970blazin · 12-06-2003, 06:50 PM

WOW!!!! Your Blazer looks great. The top looks fantastic.

Paul72 · 12-07-2003, 01:33 AM

Diane -

It was a joke! I haven't had any time for mine, and now it's too cold to get much done. I'm just jelous that yours is getting done and mine is sitting there!

Keep up the good work!

BobbyK · 12-07-2003, 04:02 AM

That turned out great!
What did it cost to restore the top?

1970blazin · 12-07-2003, 01:25 PM

Bobby K- We bought the top and hatch for 450.00
We have 400.00 into the fiberglass repair and paint.
There will be about 300.00 to 350.00 in new gaskets, so about 1200.00 total. I can't believe how fast it added up, but it sure looks smooth!! Pictures almost don't do it justice! Thanks-
Diane and Ken

Dan72cst · 12-08-2003, 12:45 AM

The Blazer is looking really good Diane. No dirty face this time! HaHaHaHa

1970blazin · 12-08-2003, 03:03 AM

We got alot of progress done on the blazer today- fenders on, emblems (CST K/5 Blazer) on, door weatherstripping, mirrors, and undercoated the back of the new front and rear chrome bumpers. I am going crazy because I had to send my digital camera in to get fixed so I can't take pics!!! I am going thru withdrawls!!! I will post progress pics as soon as I can.
