Re: Start of 72 ochre Blazer build thread

I like to butt weld panels in, it does takes a long time fitting and grinding, and I have a lot of grinding left to do. here's mine.

Re: Start of 72 ochre Blazer build thread

I got the bottom of the pillar patched in, and also the floor support piece. Now I have to try to get some floor in. I am trying to do this with the torque box and fender in position (I loosened the fender so I can pull it out a little). I have a couple questions. I have both the front floor patch and also the inner rocker with 4 inches of floor included. My floor patch goes up past that seam a few inches, can I just cut out where this patch would end up above the seam? I looked at a build where the panel was cut and bent over at the seam is this absolutely necessary? Also, I will need to try to sneak this inner rocker between the floor support and the pillar patch, then try to bolt it together not sure if this is possible with the torque box on, can some of these things that were previously bolted, be welded instead or is that not good practice?
Thanks!
