Re: ****Red72Blazer**** rust repair thread
Update 3-28-09
It's been hard to get anything done as it has been raining here in the Pacific Northwest lately. I did manage to pull the seats today. I got some more pictures of the rust with my new camera. It's a Canon Powershot SD11000IS. so far I'm pretty happy with it. I mainly bought it to help document my repairs. Here is the passenger side rocker. The passenger side is definitely worse than the drivers, but I think they will both require about the same amount of work. It looks like someone used bondo over the rust at some time on the sill. ![]() with the door open ![]() This is the passenger side A Pillar to floor transition. ![]() passenger side a pillar from drivers side ![]()

Re: ****Red72Blazer**** rust repair thread
I pulled the roll bar today. I sawzalled through half of the bolts holding it in. I also made a list of what I want to buy sheet metal wise to start out with.
I'm going to start with gm rockers from Wes. http://www.classicheartbeat.com/cata...%20Rockers.htm I also think I need L & R outer cab floor extensions L & R inner rocker backing plates L & R front door pillars L & R lower kick panel and the floor section that meets them L side front lower quarter section L side rear door pillar am I missing anything critical for the first steps? I think that's a good start. I'm sure I will need more patches just for that section of the cab. I still have the bed floor and fire wall to deal with with as well. ![]() ![]()

Re: ****Red72Blazer**** rust repair thread
I got my Body Mount kit from GMCPauls on thursday. It looks like a very complete kit with all the mounts bagged up for which area they belong. I'm doing Easter stuff today and tomorrow, so i doubt I'll get any time on it this weekend. I'm kinda bummed because the weather forecast looks pretty bad early next week and I'm out of town next weekend, so I don't think I will get to work on it for awhile. I will take pictures of the entire process when I start. I get paid on the 14th so then I will buy my panels and a set of nice k5 emblems from another member. after I get back from out of town, I'm hoping to clear the schedule in the shop and get the mounts and rockers done. I doubt I know what I am talking about.
