Thanks...definitely hope it smells better. The body off was literally a one-man job. Eric did it completely by himself using floor jacks, cherry picker, blocking, and a patient methodical approach. Pretty impressive actually. I had to dig deep to find this pic with the lift points on the rear. ....gotta say, I'm a little nervous about hitting page #13. |
Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
You do watcha gotta do. I've donr that same method before when changing springs or bushings.

No, I mean I have my post count per page set higher, so your thread is only on page 8 for me, so you have 5 more pages to go before you get there. Just change your count and then you'll be all good lol
I am set for 40 posts per page |

A little base in the jams and on the inside of the doors.

Interior chrome got here today. I got lucky on the shipment because the packaging wasn't nearly as stout as I'd like to have seen...those guys don't seem to recognize how hard those pieces can be to come by. Also the end of one of the rear trim strips was bad...they didn't blink about fixing it when I called back. Hopefully it won't be another 10 weeks.

All the interior bits that need to be cleared are cleared. Doors hung...hopefully to never come off again. Tape and plastic had been on for a while...time for a change.

After looking at plastic for so long, I'd forgotten how much I missed this jewel.

Unfortunately, I sent it all out about a week before I fell into your bumper threads. If I had it to do again, I would have definitely sent it all there. |
Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
wow.....looking great ...I need to stop by and see it.....
do you use a shop called like Chrome Brothers in Atl? |
Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
Wow that is looking great. better than new. Should last at least another 40 years +. You are taking so much more time than the factory to get it perfect. Can't wait to see paint and all put back together.

Two things went on today with little more than a clean up that are 45 years old. Fan shroud and glove box latch...and they looked pretty darn good. Amazing so much effort goes into rehabilitating, restoring, refinishing or replacing...and they're like, "just let me keep doing what I've been doing for half a century."
...unfortunately the shroud will come back off (like everything, one step forward, two steps back). It seems when they re-cored the radiator, they made it a 1/4" wider. My return rate on parts seems way too high...and it is muy agravante. |
Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
