The Mueller 69 Blazer

I'll just put these here. Actually I have been deep into this, for several weeks now. It's really looking fantastic and so I have decided to start this thread.

Backing up a few. This is what arrived. Basically, a windshield frame, a firewall, and a patched floor. Now we know exactly what it needs.

Next a new rocker panel and rocker box for the passenger side was clamped in position and welded in place. From there, the firewall had its access holes covered with with pre design cover plates.

Re: The Mueller 69 Blazer

The Blazer community is fortunate to have access to all the sheetmetal required to bring one back. Looking forward to your progress.

The remnants left of the cab was media blaster to the white metal. Then a coat of epoxy primer was sprayed over the bare relic.

Re: The Mueller 69 Blazer

This takes care of an initial fitting of the new sheet metal. Not bad, but things will need persuasion here and there. To get it all dialed in correctly.

Talking Re: The Mueller 69 Blazer

Love me a Medium Bronze or Copper colored '67-'72.

Of course, I might be biased.
