Re: 1970 Blazer Build
Things are finally going to get rolling on this.
Weather was good this past weekend and with fall coming I decided to primer and put raptor liner on the underside of the new bed floor before it installed. Front crossmember and controls arms are getting picked up from the sandblaster on Friday. I had them powdercoated. Front disc brake kit and all new front end parts also arrived in the mail this week. Rounded up my parts I had in my garage and hauled out to the shop where I'm working on the Blazer. Going to start assembly of the new bedsides, fenders, tailgate all shortly. The Suburban came in handy, it was packed right full haha. Lots to do now.

Re: 1970 Blazer Build
Its the most this thing has ever resembled a Blazer in a long time today
Before taking off the bedsides and rear floor, I decided to hang some sheet metal. This thing has been blown apart so I wanted to make sure everything somewhat fits together first. Really happy with how the hood, grille, and fenders went together. Some tweaking needed yet but pretty close Doors need some work yet but pretty good fit. Bottom of passenger needs to move in a little bit yet but I don't have any more hinge adjustment so going to have to figure out something there. All the new metal is Key Parts brand.

Yeah the 4WD's are just as nice. Honestly, had this been a running project I don't think I would have done the 2wd conversion. Blank canvas on this one so figured what the heck.
