Ole Beater, I'm not aware of any cutting required. The bodyman has them and hasn't mentioned needing to cut to fit.

I remember a post on here by someone who put them on and i think they had to cut their fenders. The picture on their website also looks like the fenders are cut at the bottom. Maybe they have redesigned them since. Either way the bumpers are the best looking design ive seen.

Ole Beater · 05-12-2013, 09:34 AM

Ill do a search and see if i can find that post.

Thanks Tom!

That was my first impression too, when I received other pictures from him. But no, it's not. I'll find out what it is when I go pick up the blazer. It's in Chewela, WA, so I'm guessing mine tailings or something...

Thealien · 05-18-2013, 12:09 PM

Nice blazer and color.

JustLearnin · 05-18-2013, 12:12 PM

Thanks Thealien. I can't wait to see all the parts going back on...

Ole Beater · 05-18-2013, 10:20 PM

Looks great. Wish mine was at that stage. Did you find anything out about the bumper?

As a matter of fact, I did Ole Beater. I was hoping to just be able to post a pix with the bumpers on the blazer, but you are correct. The bodyman said he will need to trim the front bumper, and the back bumper mounts will need to be shimmed. He said it looked like the back bumper was made for a universal, not specific to a '67-'72. He is working on the bumpers tomorrow (he's working seven days a week right now to finish my rig - have I said yet that I love my bodyman?

).

Here's another pix, just because...

Ole Beater · 05-19-2013, 04:15 PM

Nice, cant wait to see them mounted. Thats a lot simpler fix than trimming the fenders.

Pife · 05-19-2013, 07:39 PM

I have read about all the trouble it takes to get and mount the bumpers but they look great! Nice rig!

JustLearnin · 05-19-2013, 07:58 PM

Thank you Pife.

I've got two brothers that live in the St. Louis area; one in Lake St. Louis and the other out of town on the west side. Lived there myself for about five years working at the Weldon Springs (WSSRAP) environmental cleanup...

Pife · 05-19-2013, 08:27 PM

I moved here about 5 or 6 years ago. I am planning a move to Kentucky within the next year. If you are ever here to visit your brothers look me up we can have some beers!

JustLearnin · 05-25-2013, 12:03 AM

Well, almost done...I should have it back in my hands next week. Can't wait!

Pix from today's progress...

JayDubBlazer · 05-25-2013, 12:37 AM

Man, I'm falling in love with your rig....it's really turning out great! I'll be on the lookout this summer for you cruising down Sherman Ave grabbing a Hudson's!

JustLearnin · 05-25-2013, 01:23 AM

Thanks JayDub!

Jon, I'll be easy to spot! lol

JustLearnin · 05-25-2013, 05:50 PM

And here it is with the soft top. It'll have the hard top as well, the soft top will just be insurance for getting caught out in the rain, as it'll be mostly topless...

**Tom Vogel** · 05-26-2013, 09:19 AM

Very, very Nice!

The blazer is being delivered tomorrow. Would have been today except the studs on the spare tire carrier were too short and George couldn't pick anything up today...have I said yet that I LOVE my bodyman??!! Working through Memorial weekend just to get the build wrapped up. Wow!

Here are some pix that he sent over of the interior. Hopefully some more shots tomorrow.

Ebstard944 · 05-28-2013, 12:15 AM

Wow. Very nice!

JustLearnin · 05-28-2013, 10:34 AM

Thank you Erin!

JustLearnin · 05-29-2013, 06:55 PM

Well, the blazer is home, safe and sound. I've got a few mechanical issues to tweak; tighten up the steering being the main one, but a few other small things. One is never really done...now my stupid question period begins lol...

Hoping for warm dry weather this weekend, then time to cruise!!!

RANDAL · 05-29-2013, 08:11 PM
