Finished wet sanding and buffing tonight, she's slick as glass. It was fun watching the bugs try to land on it and sliding right off

SIMPLY WICKED, WHEN YOU GOING TO PAINT MINE

Enjoy the final assembly time with the blazer, then go out and enjoy all the thumbs up's and waves you'll be getting while driving it!

Really nice job.

Thanks. You're going to have to bring your blazer down to Pigeonforge next May!

orangeuavol · 07-20-2005, 09:27 PM

The final paint is the one thing I didn't do (this time). 1) I didn't have the proper place to do it and 2) I wanted it to come out right the first time. I do however plan on painting my next project. One of our friends who was a brick mason by trade sprayed it and did the final cutting and buffing.

**Yukon Jack** · 07-20-2005, 10:57 PM

Just looking better and better!!!!!

I really like the 2 tone. looks really cool.
I just spent 2 days (trying) to line up a new fender, on a straight truck, so I'm really apreciating your body lines right now. I think I'll have to go sweade black to hide my *****en body work, after I weld up all the holes from the scrapped CST trim.
Cant wait to see it finished.
p.s. how do you get the K5 Blazer emblems back on the fenders after its all pretty and painted, you gotta loosen 'em back up again

damnit, I just got it straight ( with some blocks,and pry bars, and ovaled out holes

Later, have fun with the rest of the final build.

New mirrors,door handles, marker lights installed. Inside of doors finished. Lower trim on one side finished-one piece of upper. Tail lights and backup lights in. He checked on seats today-about 1/2 done. Tailgate trim ready to go on-rear bumper next. I will try to get him to take a photo when one side is finished
