70 Blazer Frame Off

[IronCanine]

So I had a bit of a guilty conscience yesterday when I took her to the glass shop because I went there with repro windshield trim even though I had read all the posts about it. I stupidly was hoping to have one easy step...especially after the bill for smoothing and polishing the top to bed stainless strips. But I didn't like the way the glass guy looked at me when I gave it to him, so I got up this morning and headed to the salvage yard. I knew they had a 70 with the trim on it. 40 min drive, 10 min to cut out the windshield, $20(must be a Memorial Day Sale) for the score and the rest of the day polishing the pieces myself.

...as an aside here's the VIN plate of the truck that I robbed the trim from. I'm fairly confident it's an original paint jam. Notice the round rivet in the lower left corner. I've seen a few tags with round rivets that I think were honest originals. Just a curiosity.
