It's March. Quit goofing off.;)

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

I moved it from being pinned to the far wall over to the 'working' side, does that count?

Finding the time has become a factor too.

Our weather will begin to break soon, that should bring on some motivation but currently we're still in the deep freeze with temps hovering around zero's at night.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

That counts in my book. Progress is progress.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Man, it has been in the 60's-70's here all the snow is gone, but I am still waiting, we usually get 1-2 snows as late as May, so untill then it is Spring ISH here, hope it warms up back there enough for ya to get motivated?!

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

True but if I keep moving it around, I'll get nowhere. :waah:

Think I'm going to ditch the white bench up front and put the roll away there, it's already proven to be nothing but a catch-all.

I like the blazer where it is now (in the pix) but it takes up ALL the garage being there.
It does allow for great access/working space though.

Might put the other dollies under the rear tires and just move it as needed.

Gotta decide on the next step too...
It's either clean up the tub interior & spray it with sound deaden-er, clean up the firewall & get it painted or start plumbing the brakes and gas lines.
Leaning towards getting the tub interior done right now.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Talk about parallel parking.

I say do it in the order you listed them.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Do what ever it is in your head your motivated to do. You can always switch gears later on.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Finally got something to post.

Jumped on welding up the holes in the tub that needed to go away, the lower moulding holes & the drivers side quarter that once upon a time held a CB radio antenna.

Also fixed the drivers side 'a' pillar where the hinges are, the top was pulled out & the lower was pushed in & cracked.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Drivers quarter repair.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

lol i have ths same holes in mine... damn cb's

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Damn. That's some nice body work Kurt. That kinda stuff is beyond me for now...

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Yeah, seems like everybody did em, still need to fill the 'big' hole inside.


Thanks for sayin' but you have the transmission info I still need, so we're even. ;)

Lower moulding holes filled & passengers floor with some strange holes.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Those days of water in the air lines are over.

Nice color eh? :D

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Way to go Kurt, now Jim isn't the only one getting something done. :lol:

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Looking good, is that a roll up man door in the back of pictures?

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Sure is, leads to a nice private area under the deck...:lol:

Saturdays progress:

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Saturday:

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Nice work as usual...does the filter/regulator have a paper element in it or is it just a collector with a petcock. Either way, I'm sure you'll have dry air, nice addition to your compresser.

What's next on the todo list?

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Yes, it's got a changeable/replaceable filter, it's a dual purpose unit,
cleans both water & dirt from the air lines.

Still not done with the body, have a couple good 'crinkles' to pull out along with more holes to fill.

The rocker still isn't totally finished either, got tired of welding upside down...man that really sucks.

Need to pick up some more flapper discs today too.

...but then it's pull out everything from under the dash, clean & prep the firewall & spray.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Kurt
nice job....as always... I hear ya about laying on my back to weld...PITA! I got the Blazer here from Mike Friday.... my undertaking is not as involved as yours... but your posts keep me motivated...
Cant wait to drive the Blazer topless...
perhaps i might be up your way this summer. My cousins have invited me up to Northern VT for a visit.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Saw that you finally got it, that's great!

If you come up, I'm right off of I-89, feel free to drop by.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Did ya get an extra element, so one can be drying out as you put the good one in there. I store mine on top of the oilburner till it dries out

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

What a PITA dent I just spent the entire day on...:crazy:

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

They really need an "envy" smiley for me to post with. Looks great as usual :clap:
