Mine ain't never hit me, she can't catch me! Alright brother, have fun with that floorboard, I gotta hit the rack. Keep those pics coming!

Here's some shots from today with the one piece floor and firewall in place:

**jaros44sr** · 04-23-2008, 01:34 AM

Here are some more
Clamped in place

Zip screwed every 4 ", later I'll come back and drill holes in between the zips every 1" for plug welds

What looks like a white line is masking tape for referance, I cut about 3/16" off of the floor flange( between the longitude braces) so I could fit the seam up better, floor flange was just a little long

That is one of the coolest things ever..... We can now salvage about any truck/blazer! Now if only full blazer tubs could go into production

Now you're talkin!

red71cheyenne · 04-23-2008, 02:06 PM

That is COOL!!!

**jaros44sr** · 04-24-2008, 12:24 AM

Here's today's progress, Jon signed off on it so I guess he's happy with the work. Everything is buttoned up, and doors hung. Time to blow it apart and prep for welding. No big issues to deal with....
I couldn't fit the patch for the kick panel, so I just made a template and marked where it has to be in relation to the floorboard, BAD IDEA, DON"T DO!!!!!

**jaros44sr** · 04-24-2008, 12:26 AM

some more

After I get all this welded up I'll come back and do cab corners and A and B post patches

jb4short · 04-24-2008, 01:33 AM

Jon's kinda slow so if anyone sees something obviously wrong feel free to volunteer the info...LOL

Great job Jim!

**jaros44sr** · 04-24-2008, 02:33 AM

red71cheyenne · 04-24-2008, 02:22 PM

That looks mighty good, you guys are welcome to start working on my 71, she needs some new rockers and I'm sure I could think of a couple of other things you could do. J could meet the old lady and see how mean she is in person!

Shame it's on the left coast, or I'd take you up on it...

You can trust a Marine with your money and your life, just don't trust him with your wife

TonyJohnson · 04-24-2008, 07:17 PM

Damn... that's very cool.

**jaros44sr** · 04-25-2008, 01:07 AM

Today's progress, started to work on the kick panels. My idea of the template didn't pan out, and am I glad I cut 1/2" below the line. You can see the original line where I cut, moral of the story always use the patch panel for fitting and since I removed the cowl it made it much easier to work in that area. Once I cut the kick area out I reinstalled the cowl for fitment of the patch. Had to cut away the lower portion of the A post to get the kick panel in there

That gap, between the cowl and floorboard will be rebent once I remove the floorboard( don't know why it's there)

Thanks TJ

Chevyman63 · 04-25-2008, 03:41 AM

Excellent work Jim!

This thing is going to be better than a new truck, no offense to you GM workers building the new trucks.

The kick panel area is the one I'm most concerned about on my Blazer.

**jaros44sr** · 04-25-2008, 03:44 AM

That's the area that always gives me the most trouble. I'll try to document it better for ya, since I have to do the other side. I tend to go with what fits rite, as opposed to where it is supposed to go

You doing great as far as documentation and pics go. And I, as well as many others I'm sure, appreciate it.

red71cheyenne · 04-25-2008, 01:01 PM

Well, before I opened my own can of worms there, I was going to ask if those are Tri-Pro doors? Progress is looking good as always!

yes they are....though Jim and I didn't put more than two minutes into hanging them

red71cheyenne · 04-25-2008, 02:03 PM

They look nice, are those just tape marks on them? When I re-skinned the Blazer doors, I wished I had just bought new doors. Lots of rust inside! Glad I invested in my own sandblaster.

Yes- they're packed with an oversized blister-pack attached to prevent damage
