The orange one is already posted in the sale section, if that sells as well, it's onto #3, the bronze one...whew. :lol:

Selling #'s 1 & 2 to thin the heard and finance building #3.

It's more about consolidation really, yes the orange one is amazing but so isn't the bronze one, both are as solid a blazer as I've ever been able to find.

So it boils down to a toss up, either would be great build candidates.

Don't care...
Can't stand to see it sitting in my garage and not work on it, so I did.

Started in on the firewall, got after a couple of the holes that need patching (3 more to go) and began sanding it down for paint.

Found a ton of debris in the pass. side cowl, will drill more holes on the bottom for better drainage before I paint.

Have two differant name brand drivers side rockers, will decide which one to use when I get to pulling off the existing rocker.
Yeah, it was just bad enough to convince me to replace it.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 
just curious is there a vizual diff in the rockers??? and I hope you'll speak up on which one fits better..........I bought mine at the local Napa and the fit was fare but then again I didn't care and had nothing to compair them to......they where here in the next day and the panels I didn't use made it easy to return......

No real visual differance between the two, once I pull the stock rocker I'll compare em and let ya know.

One is a Tri-Plus & the other has just enough of the tag worn off so that I can't tell.

The humidity is supposed to drop here next week after three weeks of misery, painting the firewall will be on the to-do list.

Possibly, your correct it is currently for sale on this board in the FS section.

Thing is, I have two rust free tubs and both are up for grabs, which ever one sells first decides the fate of the other.

I'm happy building either one but one does have to go.
