I doubt it but she probably would like it if you welded up some kind of cool pot & utensil rack to mount to it. Maybe in the shape of a bowtie

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way

Done in time for turkey day.

It's a huge mess still but all the cabinets are done/installed.
Now it's her turn...

The kitchen will not see me again until my garage is insulated!
Once insulated, on comes the heat and on goes the POR...dammit.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way

Day of testing...
- how it will hold heat now that's it's mostly insulated
- how is this POR stuff gonna work in a semi cool garage
- how much meatl clean up does the POR take
- how much smell gets into the house when I'm using it

Good news all around.
- was able to work in the garge just wearing a t-shirt
- to my surprise, I thought the POR was really decent to work with
- a good scuffing with the Scotch-Brite pad took care of it
- went inside when I had painted for around 45 minutes to ask the wife if the smell came into the house and her answer was 'what smell'

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way

Nice, now all three of you guys have shiny black frames. Cool on the teeshirt and no fumes in the house. I have problems w/fumes and can't fix it

That stuff looks like it really went on nice, does it stick to your skin

Not shiny, should dry to a satin kinda finish, almost wish I'd gone with glossy though cause it looks really nice right now.

Stick to skin? Yeah, says right on the lable that if it dries, the only way it's gonna come off is with time.

60% done, I'll let what's done dry a couple days and reinstall the body mounts and front axle, then finish up the rear section and repaint around the mounts.

That's about as taken apart as possible, all down hill from here...looks good tho. How does it fill in any pitted area
