Not much progress over here. I got a new toy and it has been burning up my free time.. But have been having a blast.

That thing has Glamis (sp?) written all over it!!

Did this project stall out?

Rokcrln · 03-20-2008, 05:46 AM

Well here is a bit of todays progress!

I had some rocker panel problems so I am sectioning and slicing to get everything to fit right. I also patched the drivers side door inside and out and coated everything as it was going together. Drivers side is 100% done now and I hope to have the pass side finished up by Thursday and maybe ready to go back on the frame.

I also drilled the door hinges to help align them when going back on after patching.

Rokcrln · 03-20-2008, 05:50 AM

A few more.

The pass side needs to be longer and taller by about a 1/4". I tried two other rockers and they were the same. I checked the dimensions off a factory rocker and their was about a 3/16" diff so I figured why not just make it fit right.

Sorry I missed this before posting pics. I would not call it stalled out but it has been slower than I had hopped. I have a full time job 80 miles away as well as a 8month old son that I pick up on my way home and my wife does not get home untill 6pm so my time has been limited. But I have some time off work right now so I hope to get my part all finished up in the next week or so.

Even "stalled out" your projects move faster than most all I have seen.... Nice Work.

Do you sleep?

**70STOVEBOLT** · 03-20-2008, 05:36 PM

Kevin, I actually made that post after reading page 2, without realizing there were 7 pages in the thread. Sorry about that, I know from reading your threads that you are very busy, I don't know how you have time to work on anything with your schedule. Keep up the awesome work!

red71cheyenne · 03-22-2008, 03:59 AM

Kevin, what did you do to the inside of the doors to account for the rust? Blast and then coat? I pulled my door skins and did that before re-skinning them. Just wondered what you did that might have been easier. Jeff.

Well I cut out all rust before the vehical was blasted. They did blast in side the door as much as they could then scrapped down inside as well. Then they epoxy coated everything. As I did the patch repairs I cleaned all areas that I could get to and coated them with rust encapsulator prior to any welding. Then once the patches were done and the doors were back up right I sprayed a heavy coat of encapsulator down in to the doors were the patching was done.

Is this perfect, No but it sure is alot better then factory and should last a real long time. I also sugest a few times a year that you check your drip holes in the bottom of the doors to make sure they are clear.

For todays progress I finished sectioning the pass side rocker and got it all installed and coated. I then replace the rocker box covers with new hardware and anti seize before puttin the fender brace's back inplace. I have one patch left to do to the pass door and it will be re-hung using the holes I drilled in the hinges.

Thats lookin' good. I wish I'd of drilled some holes in the hinges like that. Oh well, lol.

Rokcrln · 03-23-2008, 01:40 AM

We are almost their! The body will meet the chassie for the first time in its new state in about 20min. Today I finished the pass door, spot welded part of the upper fire wall lip because the factory spot welds did not make contact. I installed a nut insert into the pass side upper fender mouint because the stock one was missing, installed the pedal asembly, sterring column, sterring box and cleaned the frame for the body drop

I also installed the tailgate hardware and gate to the new bed sides and had to slot some holes to get the gate to line up right. Once the gate was test fit I them welded the rear gate posts to the bed. My 68 tilt front end will be going on this blazer Monday and by Tuesday it should be ready to head out. This thing will be a body mans dream with it being all new and very straite almost ready for blocking and paint.

Sweet. Is that the shop across the street? Nice of them to let you use the lift. Maybe one of these days when I have a day off, I can meet you at your house after work and give you a hand.

Let me know when you start the air ride suspension work on the blazer. I would really like to help with that. I think I'm free on Monday March 31.

Yes that is the shop. Paul has given me free rain of the lift if his guys are not using it. We do alot of trade work back and forth so it really does work out nice. Plus all I had to do was roll a body down the street to his shop, walk home and roll a frame down the street and a few minutes later I was pushing a rolling blazer home. I really need to get a lift at my house but first is my frame table and rotissory so I can start my Blazer build.
I will let you know next weekend what my shedule is looking like
