Making progress - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Progress has been slow, but I'm hoping to get done by early April. I've got the hardtop just about ready for paint except the rear hatch which I am trying to find one better than mine. I ordered all the hardtop rubber and carpet last week. Did a little work this weekend on the dash and driver's door.

Good lookin blazer

desertrat · 01-15-2007, 11:01 PM

Looks good.

bouncytruck · 01-15-2007, 11:57 PM

Wow, that is lookin' great! You need to post a before picture for reference.

Southedisto · 01-16-2007, 12:42 AM

Nice blazer, I like the color.

jughead · 01-16-2007, 12:43 AM

Any other shots of the seats? What are they out of? Were they a pain to install? They look good from that shot.

Pop's72 · 01-16-2007, 03:14 AM

Looking good!!

LUV2XCLR8 · 01-16-2007, 10:05 AM

Awesome progress, will it be @ Maggie Valley in May?

**Yukon Jack** · 01-16-2007, 11:12 AM

Very nice - I'm partial to that color!

NuBomb · 01-16-2007, 02:10 PM

Thanks all.

jughead - I don't have any, but I'll take some next time I can work on it. They are out of a 2000 or 2001 HD. We welded some brackets and mounted the seats to them. I know I need more bracing from underneath.

Luv - That is the plan. Should be able to get it "done" enough to take it. I know they are never really done.

Looks good Nubomb

Looking forward to seeing it this year at Maggie. Maybe see all those parts you bought from Tim last year put to good use.

krue · 01-18-2007, 04:42 AM

Looks good.

BUDDY · 01-18-2007, 04:15 PM

I know that there are some here that would be interested in where & what those chrome step bars are from? I'm not particularly one of them, but if you could share, I am sure that it would be appreciated.

Oh, it looks really nice BTW!!

Later,
Buddy

superflydude · 01-18-2007, 04:40 PM

Wow that is really nice i'm hopein mine comes out that good. How long did it take? Do you have before pictures?

ClassicJimmy · 01-18-2007, 11:07 PM

The silver inset on the door panel - is that a seperate piece or is it just painted on the panel? Looks sharp!

Jtrux · 01-18-2007, 11:14 PM

That looks great, I really like the interior.

NuBomb · 01-19-2007, 02:16 PM

The step bars are from some a toyota maybe 90's. I got them at a swap meet for $40. I'll find some shots of how they are mounted. The mounting doesn't look that great, but the guy said they wouldn't break and they haven't.

The inset for the door panel is the original woodgrained one. I used paint stripper and went to work. After the woodgrain sticker was gone, I sanded it down and painted them the same color as the truck. I was going to polish them instead of painting, but they were a little too rough. The door panels are the original white just dyed.

I'll find some before shots. I've changed computers over the past 6 or 7 years.

NuBomb · 01-24-2007, 12:07 AM

Here are a few pics. The all green is before. The second one is during quarter replacement. The third one is how it looked for quite a while until I got real serious. Sorry for the delay, but I started before I (or most people) could afford a digital computer and I had to break out the scanner.

5150 · 01-24-2007, 12:11 AM

come a long way Jeremy. Again, looking forward to seeing it in Maggie.

**Ron 586** · 01-24-2007, 01:18 AM

Looks good. Great to see these inspirational pictures and stories. Will be looking for it at Maggie valley.

**N2TRUX** · 01-24-2007, 10:24 AM

Awesome work. The color is sweet...
