Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
Have to inquire, what happened to the (Union?) 76 antenna ball? Yay or nay?

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
Eric is that you? If so, want to say fantastic job that you and Brad did. I'd refer work to you guys any day. Good job on saving the 76 ball - I just got a handful of them at an antique shop.

Sounds like a thumbs down by Brad and a thumbs up by Pete ![]() ![]() ![]() We could start a 76 antenna ball club or something. I agree with Pete as well, fantastic work Eric. Take care guys, Tom

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
I've got to rebut Eric's version of events....I do not believe I threw it in the trash...however, I do think it's a special occasion embellishment only. For instance: Cinco de Mayo, the season premier of How It's Made, 4/20, any mention of Burt Reynolds, Haley's Comet, when the McRib goes away, and Christmas.
...you know the usual. As far as the pic below, this afternoon I went to register for the September Chip Foose/YearOne event in Brasleton and saw their "Bandit" Trans Am on the YearOne website. It made me think of Burt, so I went home and placed the ball on the antenna....simple.

Of course there's eBay. A WTB has worked well for me too. EDITED: Sorry tim's68gmc...I see that you are a member, and I have changed my post to reflect that. I saw "Registered User" and missed the Premium Member tag. I'm used to seeing Junior or Senior Member in that line....or a personal tag line.

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
Thank you Brad and I hope you have a great summer of cruising.
You too Eric. Amazing work. I will be referring to your build to help in my 71 build starting here shortly.No doubt about it. Its kinda funny,i have some goofy antenna toppers I use sometimes because nobody likes them. How could you not like a rubber duck ? ![]()

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
Well...I thought I had this licked (or at least taken it to my best reasonable point)...but when I picked this up from the printer today I noticed the artifact, or ghost lettering, or extra junk, or whatever at the very bottom edge. Gotta get that fixed and try again. Unfortunately I fly out to a meeting tomorrow and will be gone for a week or so...So it'll be next week before I can put one on the fender well.

I think the numbers are: 22-384 front and 22-403 rear I think the ones that they have that are less expensive are flat, non-tapered leaves. I got the tapered ones. I just wanted it to be as factory correct as possible and the numbers I got were supposed to be factory spec.

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
