Almost ready for a motor
This is the last progress I made before haveing a litte out-patient surgery. I have not done much since. A friend of mine told me about useing oven cleaner to clean a frame and boy was he right!!!! The paint is just Rustoleum semi-gloss black, I hope it holds up.

Re: Almost ready for a motor
Nice D-ring type setup, Do you think the part tied to the frame is enough?

Re: Almost ready for a motor
I think so? My uncle had that put in right after he bought this blazer in74'. From what he tells me, the tube is the piston out of hydrolic cylinder(really thick walled) and the d-ring "hangers" were cut off of some kind of heavy equiptment. The tube is welded all the way around at both ends to the frame.

Re: Almost ready for a motor
Looks Good 1972CST! Some day I will get that far on mine! I also like using oven cleaner for various projects.
Just a note of caution for anyone that wants to try the oven cleaner. It eats many types of paint! It also can eat masking tape adhesive. Later---DAC

Re: Almost ready for a motor
Your frame looks really good. Did you use any type primer on the frame before you painted it?

Re: Almost ready for a motor
No primer, from what I under stand Rustoleum is compatible over bare metal or primer? We shall see! Thats a nice blazer you have.

No, I don't have a build thread as my updates are rare. I recently purchased a good running '89 Suburban (cheap) that I am considering using the tbi 350 and drivetrain to get some mileage, got new body mounts installed and am fitting new carpet. I don't want to hack on Mom's Jimmy too much, but I do intend on it being able to be a daily driver, along with my other trucks. Thanks for asking---DAC

Re: Almost ready for a motor

Re: Almost ready for a motor
That is amazing! It looks like you had the frame blasted. Did you have to do a lot of scrubbing?

Re: Almost ready for a motor
