Where'd you get that silver paint? I need some "spray-in" floors.

Very nice work. Let's see some pics of the rest of the truck.

That thing is too clean to put your feet into now! Great work..

Chevyman63 · 03-09-2007, 06:53 AM

Holy rusty floorboards!!
Excellent job! You are truly an inspiration to us rusty Blazer owners. Keep up the good work and the pics coming.

**jaros44sr** · 03-09-2007, 07:22 AM

Holy Crap Batman$%%^#* I feel like I only put a coat of wax on the Jimmy compared to the work you did...

Looking forward to coming down this summer Rusty. Did you ever find the time to fix the Olds? J.

**Shock_Me** · 03-09-2007, 07:29 AM

Awesome job Rusty! I can't wait to see that Jimmy when you're done. You've inspired me to get my butt in gear, and start my own Jimmy project.

Forgot(must have sumthin to do with age) to do the quote thing, but Jaros44 said "glad to see quality work from the old guys". Dammit, old guys invented quality work! :-)

Later---DAC

Yeah, it has somethin' to do with age, his and mine would add up to 110 or more...... haha

70rs/ss · 03-09-2007, 01:12 PM

Yaouwch, I would not even know where to begin, maybe unscew the radiator cap and drive another Blazer under it? Man, I see why you easterners, hate us western desert guys, I haven't even seen one that bad, but boy did you whip it into shape. That thing is a work of metal working art. I won't complain about the rockers I have to replace on my Blazer.

orange72blazer · 03-09-2007, 01:40 PM

Lookin good. Is there any way You could take a pic of how the bulkhead for the half top attaches to the side of the Blazer? I'm trying to figure how everything bolts up.
Thanks

Pop's72 · 03-09-2007, 05:50 PM

That is simply awesome!

The half cab uses the original full top bolts on the windshield and two bolts on top of the bulkhead.

Never did find a grille for the Olds, guess I'll have to fab one for it. If I live till summer gets here your welcome to stop and spend some time I'll let you give me some pointers, but I have to warn you there ain't no cities closeby so you'll have to stay with us.

The Artic cat is a 400 4wd, but I got rid of it. Darn thing rolled over on me and almost killed me. I'm 20 miles southwest of Owensboro in Mclean County.

Well Rusty that is one of the most gracious offers I have come across in a long long time, we'll dicuss details if it happens. How can you NOT have cities around you, I've never heard of that. You mean within a 1/2 hour of you?

As far as pointers go, I believe I'll be learn'n from you. Really enjoy looking at your work, I have a bit of the insight to it... J.

Well yeah, Owensboro is about a thirty minute drive from where we live, but ain't nobody that comes to see me from afar is going to stay in no hotel. That ain't the southern way fella.
