I have NO idea what i'm doing (pics)

Well i've decided to start fixing up my blazer a little more like I want it.



I pulled the front end off, both fenders need work. I would of taken pics of them but there in the backyard in my shed so when I start to work on them I post some pics of them.

My doors are gonna need work as well, I took my grinder with a flapper disk to the bottom of my passenger door and this is what I found.



You can see it's eaten all the way through and the PO just slathered some bondo over it for an instant fix. So far i've come to conclude that the PO was an idiot cuz there are lots of hackjob repairs on mine.



This one is my favorite. I noticed a crack in the side of the tub so I stated to sand it off and found an old CB hole, great!



The inside of my doors seem alright, looks like some sanding and they'll clean right up. If anyone has reskinned a door, chime in and let me know how hard it was to do, otherwise i'll be looking for some more doors.

Both floors on mine are bad, the passenger is covered up with junk but the PO bondoed it up completely and the drivers side needs to be replaced as well.



I don't know what i'm gonna do with my interior, I like the factory look but I think I might make them all black, not sure yet though.



I guess i'll take a sec to talk about what I want the finished product of my blazer to be. My blazer was a pretty low optioned truck from the factory. No AC, no PS, the only things it had were 4WD, a 350, 4 speed, PB, tach, and rear seat. Tach and rear seat were missing when I got it.

The one major improvement i'm making to it is AC. Critter and I picked up a 69 C10 with AC and the dash is in great shape so i'm gonna swap that dash into my truck along with all AC components and modify my firewall. I've got all the parts to convert mine to PS.



You can see that my ashtray has been bondoed over as well, apparently the PO didn't like smoking.



I have two Auto Meter Phantom guages in the 2 1/16 size so i'll get a few more to fill my bezel so I can be cool like everyone else. I'm not too sure which guages will be used but I already have a mechanical oil pressure and water temp. Looking back on it I should have got electrical guages, oh well. For sure i'll get a fuel guage, tach, speedo, and volt meter. That's probably all i'll need unless I go with an auto then i'll also fit a trans temp in there somewhere.

I kinda want to go auto but I think i'll just chrome my 4 speed shifter and go with a hydraulic clutch
setup.

I still am not sure what I want to do with my lift or tire size, part of me wants me to stay stock then part of me wants to go 6 inch lift with 35's. I'll post pics and more progress updates as things come along.

I just got the tank filled up on my welder so i'm ready to go.
