Re: My winter project
No patch panels yet. When I get the body set right then I'll start getting replacement body stuff.

Re: My winter project
Not sure what to do next. The doors shut nice but rub at the header. Should I shim at A pillar or loosen up the front cowl a bit to see if it will relax some.
Thanks 7D2N

Re: My winter project
Adding body shims at the mounts located near the rear of the door should help. Removing shims from the front mounts by the firewall could help also. Before doing any of this, any bolts holding the fenders on should be loosened off. This is a fairly big job because once the front cowl has been moved (rotated) forward, your doors and fenders will have to be realigned for proper gaps.

Re: My winter project
I found seat support patches from a truck to use. The floor mounting braces look close but the mounting holes are a bit different, I need to cut the blazer floor and move the braces to the new patches.

Re: My winter project
You are getting in the fun part of the build. Once you have the mechanical in good enough shape to drive it - you can repair the cosmetic and rust as you go.
Nice work so far! |

Re: My winter project
Now the front is off and I can see what I'm working with, the sway bar and these brackets are going. I plan to get a stock look with an minor lift. Anyone know if this harness for the smog pump.
Thanks 7D2N

Re: My winter project
I got the windshield header today. I'm checking measurements and it looks pretty good so far and a lot better than what I have now.

Re: My winter project
I do not believe the smog pump had any electric hookup. I also believe that Morgan county is smog exempt for your truck. Am I wrong on that?

Re: My winter project
Looks good. Triple check everything, hard to change later.

Re: My winter project
Cutting the windshield frame off is a BIG leap of faith when you first do it. But once you have it repaired you will feel great. I nearly crapped myself when I stepped back after cutting mine off. But after grafting the donor frame back on, I felt a great boost of confidence.

Re: My winter project
Finished the windshield header and the top is bolted down to start floor work. I will say it's a bit time consuming but will work great.
