Re: Yes another 72 build thread
These are the brackets I'm looking for:
  The body mount bracket was smashed too far down and has a lean to it when it's on the frame rail. The clutch pivot bracket was just rounded out over the years. |

Re: Yes another 72 build thread
Not much today, just cleaned up the garage, degreased and cleaned my bell housing. Painted the bell housing and the adaptor from the trany to the transfer case, I'll post some pic's tomorrow they turned out pretty nice.
Got the front axle tore apart and sanded down. Now I'm setting up my paint booth to paint my axles, frame and chassis parts. |

Re: Yes another 72 build thread
Bell housing and adaptor cleaned and painted. Degreased, wire brushed and then WGR for paint. I used Eastwoods Spray Gray, seems to hold up very well. I'll know more later when I start to reassemble the drive train but I like it.

Re: Yes another 72 build thread
I've been beating myself to death on what to do with my restore. I wanted to raise it and add the 33's and that looks good and all but I've also been looking at some really nice stock blazer's that I would love mine to look like. This is one here that's got me thinking twice about my restore.
I guess it all comes down to what I'm happy with right? I mean, it doesn't have the original SPID anymore and I am having the tub blasted and I really like the olive green. Man oh man, what to do. This is so typical I guess, when doing a frame off, lol. What say you? |

Re: Yes another 72 build thread
Got my frame painted. Got out this morning thinking I was going to get the frame and axles painted, lol, finished up the frame and 10 minutes later it started pouring down rain. Every day was beautiful while I was working but my first day off and it rains, can't win.
Should have it pulled out of the garage tomorrow so I can finish up the axles. Turned out nice though, I used Omni single stage black with 33% Flattening additive no reducer and a 1.4 tip, layed out pretty nice. Hopefully, if weather permits, I'll shoots some pictures of it tomorrow. |

Re: Yes another 72 build thread
Had a break in the weather today and got to get a couple shots of the frame painted. I'm happy with the way it turned out and the matte finish. I'm going to try and squeeze the axles in for paint before I run out of warm weather.

Re: Yes another 72 build thread
Thanks, no sun when I took the photos. I need to pull it out tomorrow to paint the axles, maybe I can get a shot in the sun, it does have a nice shine.
