Started tearing stuff out of the interior of the 71 Blazer I picked up. Removed rear seat and took out home made side panels and carpeting. Carpeting was glued down. Anyone know of a solvent that will aid in the removal of carpet adhesive. Paint thinner (mineral spirits) doesn't really do much.

I painted my hood, drivers side front fender, and driver side door. I have been painting my truck for neary the last month. More of less piece by piece. I am in a rush to finish the exterior befor it gets to cold outside.

Got my bed back on int time for winter. Painted the inside of the doors and got them rehung today. Trying to get things ready for winter so I can work on the bed body work and or the motor.
