Seems like a decent idea. I wish I knew where to purchase those.

Looking really nice. Did you figure out the door to top seals?

Tom, yes I did, when I had the top off it all made sense.

**7D2N** · 07-30-2024, 09:52 PM

It's going back together but slowly.

**7D2N** · 08-10-2024, 07:29 PM

I managed to mess up my window sweeps on the driver side when putting them together, kind of a pain but I have a few more thing off my assemby list.

**jaros44sr** · 08-11-2024, 09:22 AM

Wow the whole project looks tremendous, nice attention to detail

Sorry for your snafu, but if that was your only blunder if say you did well

notsolo · 08-11-2024, 08:23 PM

Getting the hood on, gaps all look good, doors line up nice. Very nice.

**7D2N** · 08-12-2024, 07:39 PM

Thanks guys It's fun getting it back together after a bunch of years. Jim I messed up a few things on the way but I'm happy where I'm at now.

**7D2N** · 08-28-2024, 10:07 PM

I have the tailgate band on and the grill in place. I plan to get the windshield ordered soon.

bambbrose · 08-29-2024, 04:33 PM

Looks great! Sharp details and quality restoration going on here. Something to be proud of.

**DeadheadNM** · 08-29-2024, 05:39 PM

Looking sharp!

**7D2N** · 08-29-2024, 09:23 PM

Thanks guys, I had my second go with new door window sweeps, I got them in but it takes a little patience.

**Ol Blue K20** · 08-31-2024, 09:13 PM

It's looking fantastic!

**1970cstblazer** · 09-01-2024, 07:23 AM

Better than brand new

**7D2N** · 09-03-2024, 08:24 PM

Thank you guys. I need to get the windshield installed so I don't have to climb over the interior.

**7D2N** · 09-14-2024, 12:58 PM

I'm getting a little more assembly completed with new to me steering wheel and parklight plugs to finish the wiring. I want to say thanks to all you guys that have helped me with all the parts and information I have needed.

I went with the same door panel setup on my 1970. Hate all of the woodgrain of the 1972 CST/Cheyenne Super, but like the scroll pattern with the stainless trim insert.

**7D2N** · 10-10-2024, 08:31 PM

I tried my hand at repainting emblems and for this driver perfect.

**1970cstblazer** · 10-11-2024, 12:22 PM

Looks great, and will be even better with the side trim installed

bambbrose · 10-11-2024, 01:25 PM

This thread is my current inspiration. I'm restoring a white one as well and its encouraging to see how nice this one is turning out.

There’s a future TOTM, job well done

Where did you buy those little plastic bottles, I want do mine

**7D2N** · 10-12-2024, 11:50 AM

Thanks again guys. I'm on the backorder list for side trim so that won't be getting installed anytime soon. Trying to find a glass shop the wants to mess with a windshied install. Jim, the paint stuff came from a craft/hobby store.

**7D2N** · 10-18-2024, 08:59 PM

I rounded up some help to get the top on. a little more off the list.

**Tom Vogel** · 10-23-2024, 10:42 PM

That's looking really nice
