Great work on your project. I’m not sure I saw you mention what brand seat covers you went with. Do you mind sharing?

Thanks Willowrun, I bought the covers from Classisparts and the manufacturer is PUI. I have got the side panels and now seat foam from them also.

Thanks for the info. I bought the same set for my blazer from a board member a while back but no telling when I’ll get around to installing it so interested to see how it works out for you.

I'm finished with my fiberglass work. Now some filler, texture, and paint. I did repair a couple of rounded corners.

Small update on the hatch repair. I'm doing the body filler over the fiberglass repairs and going to use this top, has some issues but is better in the long run.

**7D2N** · 09-20-2022, 08:08 PM

I finished the repairs on my top and had it Raptor Lined. I planned to try the raptor coating myself but if you add the cost of the product, misc things, and clean up sometimes it's better left in the pro's hands.

Terrific work,as usual. Always enjoy your updates

Incredible going through start to now and watching the progress. I am in the chassis/fuel & brake line phase of mine.

I noticed that you said those seats weren't factory to your Blazer-what were they out of? I am still looking for something low-backed that I can get that are as close to the original as possible. Original buckets would be ideal but ya know how that goes...

Korn, When I got the blazer it had some sort of swivel van seats. I was lucky enough to find some original bucket seats that needed work.

**7D2N** · 10-15-2022, 08:59 PM

Hatches repaired. I used the NAPA stone guard for the texture and the 521GM paint. Thanks to Deadman for sharing what he used on his top.

**7D2N** · 10-15-2022, 09:05 PM

**7D2N** · 10-29-2022, 05:29 PM

I have the seats covered and installed until the carpet.

**7D2N** · 11-01-2022, 09:34 PM

Top and hatch seals showed up and they seem to fit well. How do you guys get them to stick in place? hope not to use messy weather strip glue.
Thanks

You're missing a piece that bolts on with your latch, sorry, if you already knew it.

I have these but should they be the same size? also, would you know if the latch rods are in the right position to install?
Thanks

Yes, 2 different sizes on them, I have a picture somewhere that I use, I'll see if I can find it.

**7D2N** · 11-16-2022, 10:11 PM

The top is complete and ready to be checked off the list.

**1rippen6** · 11-16-2022, 10:25 PM

Sorry, just realized I forgot about you.

Glad you figured it out.

**7D2N** · 12-01-2022, 09:08 PM

I got my carpet kit in the back and seems to fit pretty well.

**7D2N** · 12-08-2022, 07:33 PM

A couple more things I can check off my list. The front carpet is in for now and not sure if I will go with a noise barrier or something like that. I cleaned up and painted the console.

**jaros44sr** · 12-08-2022, 08:17 PM

Sure is looking good, nice progress
