It's done!Pic's of my Blazer's resto job - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BobbyK · 08-01-2003, 03:13 AM

It took about 6 months and about $1000.00 in materials(body work and paint) but it's all back together.
Well,there is still some wiring to do and some trim peices to go on yet but it's basically done!

If you view the link to all the pic's I hope you have a fast connection.There's 273 pic's.

Here are a couple of teasers though.

Looks good!!

*Gee_Emm* · 08-01-2003, 09:23 AM

Love the color, you wouldnt happen to have any underside shots in that collection of pics? I need to see what the area around the back door pillar is supposed to look like.

Davy · 08-01-2003, 10:05 AM

only $1000. Are you some sort of magician?

Looks great!

**Yukon Jack** · 08-01-2003, 10:08 AM

That's one awesome Blazer. I've said it before, you do awesome work!

I'm not to far from Rusty. You can do them both at the same time!

1970blazin · 08-01-2003, 12:40 PM

Where did you get this door cap? Did it come with your blazer? I need a pair and can't find one anywhere!!!!---Also I may have that trim piece you need. I took the old trim off my blazer to redo it all and it was in pretty good shape. I will send you a pic if you want.

Davy · 08-01-2003, 01:23 PM

I just looked at all 273 pics. (I work for an ISP, so speed isn't an issue) What great documentation. I am inspired.

*Gee_Emm* · 08-01-2003, 04:42 PM

You will need to find a used pair of those door caps, they arent currently being reproed

BobbyK · 08-01-2003, 07:05 PM

1970blazin,as Gee_Emm said those door caps are not being reproduced.I got them from a guy on this board,kilomanjaro is his screen name.He seems to have alot of odd stuff like that.I think he wants in the neibourhood of $40 buck for a pair if he has them.
Thanks for the trim offer but I was able to find the piece I needed from a board member on www.coloradok5.com
Best of all it was free!

The $1000.00 was for the body materials and paint.I paid a guy I work with $750.00 to pull the dents,replace the rockers and spray the truck for me.
All in all total cost would be around the 3k mark.

Gee_Emm here's a pic for you,hope it's the one you need.

Bigdog257 · 08-01-2003, 07:50 PM

Looks great. Where did you get the brown bread from?

BobbyK · 08-01-2003, 08:22 PM

Got it on E-Bay.$125.00 for 70sqft.
Do a search with "brown bread" in it and it should come up.
The stuff works great.
Here is a link to the post I made about it.

Beautiful Blazer

JayDubBlazer · 08-02-2003, 04:02 AM

Sweet looking blazer

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-02-2003, 08:48 PM

Look's good gotta love those blazer's..

1970blazin · 08-02-2003, 09:07 PM

Do you know what the door cap purpose is?? Does it stop some sort of leak? I have a plastic piece that sits on top of the door, but not as big as yours, and yours looks like it is a rubber weatherstripping sort of piece? Yes? I guess I am asking if it is something I definately need to have on there or not? I have a real original blazer I am restoring and it didn't have these...- I will try to contact Kilomanjaro for a pair. Thanks for the reply.

BobbyK · 08-03-2003, 01:18 AM

It's both a cosmetic and functional piece.It deflects water away and also hides the ugly cut that is made to the truck door to make it a Blazer door.

The vent window cap is a plastic piece,they crack easily.

1970blazin · 08-03-2003, 12:43 PM

So that piece in the picture goes on OVER the plastic piece? Or INSTEAD of the plastic piece? I am a little lost sorry!
