Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Very nice work J, looks great! Let me know how that front mat works out, i want to buy one. Did you try a blow dryer to soften up the rubber to fit better

Those seat covers look great. What brand/supplier were those? Good luck with the floor mats.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Got a little more done. Got all the holes in the rubber floor and bolts in place, just gotta put the nuts on and tighten them down. Still workin' on the subs upholstery but got the other panels in place. I found a couple old trim pieces that are from some 67 or so door panels I think. I stuck them on the door panels I made, not exactly how they are supposed to mount but I think it looks nice at the top of the panel.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Had a great weekend driving the blazer, probably the most I've driven it in one day. Everyone that saw it had to stop and take a look. One guy even came into the insurance office while I was getting insurance on it asking to take a look at it. Fun stuff. I still have some trim pieces to make, take the door panels off to attach the metal trim at the top and some other stuff I'm sure. It never seems to get finished.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
I like to factory door panels better. Love the new wheels and hubs too. Really a great looking ride.

Hey J, I hope to see it at the show this year. We need more blazers.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
That would be awesome. Don't know if I can make it happen. We are a foster home now and have to get state approval to take'em over the line.

A nice set of factory tow hooks would be the icing on the cake...

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Lol, I was offered a loaner set of real nice ones to put on for awhile. Jamie72 has had a set of painted factory tow hooks hanging on a wall for as long as I've been building the blazer. He offered them to me to run until he found something to bolt them to. Greatest uncle ever!
