Well, I got quite a bit done while home on leave this last month. I think the only body piece I have yet to get is a passenger side fender. Here are some pics:

Right on! Coming together. Better look out though, helper girl looks like she wants that Blazer for her own!

red71cheyenne · 08-01-2005, 04:40 AM

Thanks, and you got that right. Between her and her momma, they think they are the Blazer's owners. Jeff.

muddbugg72 · 08-01-2005, 01:26 PM

bowtie · 08-01-2005, 03:09 PM

looks good, its always good a have a little helper around. Someday she'll remember that when she cruis'in in her own classic.

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-01-2005, 04:05 PM

Looks good, It won't be much longer and you will be passing me

red71cheyenne · 08-01-2005, 05:46 PM

muddbugg, they are both newly skinned. I got them on ebay a couple of years from a guy in New York. Don't even remember his name.

bowtie, ya she's good help. Her momma is another story.

luv and jakeslim, this has been a long drawn out affair. Going on over 2 years now. You'll catch before that I'm sure. Jeff.

While it may look like I'm ahead of you, I'm redoing alot of things to suite
my own tastes, plus I can't afford the paint job till at least next year

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-02-2005, 12:21 AM

Looks like your getting there glad to see you kept it didnt you have it up for sale ????

red71cheyenne · 08-04-2005, 12:51 AM

Ya, I was supposed to have to transfer to Italy, but managed to get orders back up here, so I got to keep it. I was really happy about that.

red71cheyenne · 08-04-2005, 12:53 AM

Luv, I'm going to paint this one myself. I'm sure I can do at least as well as Earl Sheib and thats whats been on the '71 for several years now.

Cool, I wish I had the talent to try and paint one myself, keep us posted

LUV, It's 90 % prep and 10% appling the color.
The better you xget the surface before the
color the better it will look.

**special-K** · 08-06-2005, 07:20 AM

Yeah,and urethane base/clear gets sanded.Makes it more forgiving.
