I guess it could be, but im in cali

and the car isnt drivin that much. I also sprayed it with some underspray. Ill see if I can get a pic of it this weekend.

Hardly had to buy any patch panels for this cab.

*Gee_Emm* · 08-06-2003, 07:09 PM

neat trick I used, to make a pattern, very thin aluminum sheet, easy to cut and keeps a form.

*Gee_Emm* · 08-06-2003, 07:12 PM

Tacked in, will stop with the pics for now. :p

JHickson6 · 08-06-2003, 08:24 PM

jays68yak · 08-06-2003, 08:40 PM

Well maybe if you spent less time driving up and down backlanes and more time working on your truck you would know!

*Gee_Emm* · 09-20-2003, 06:51 PM

Time for some progress updates.
Not much happening, I now have pretty much all the hard to find parts that I need. Still need to get a tailgate and front fenders, other then that I have all the sheet metal. I will be using the bedsides and rockerboxes from this Blazer.

*Gee_Emm* · 09-20-2003, 06:54 PM

Managable rust but there is a major dent in one panel that will be interesting job to take out.

*Gee_Emm* · 09-20-2003, 06:55 PM

Pretty sad huh?

*Gee_Emm* · 09-20-2003, 06:57 PM

Half of the truck all por15ed up.

*Gee_Emm* · 09-20-2003, 07:01 PM

Last one for now. I am racing to get the bed floor welded together, get all the attaching points on it and painted before the snow flies. During the winter I should have all of the body panels fixed up and ready to be mounted come spring.

dinnut · 09-20-2003, 10:01 PM

looks good man

Iron-Butt · 09-20-2003, 10:38 PM

Keep up the good work.

lukecp · 09-20-2003, 11:57 PM

Wow....you are hauling on that project!

Thanks for saving that Jimmy....a 2wd Jimmy is just too cool to send to the crusher....

Are you going to keep it pretty much stock when it starts coming together?

72shadetree · 09-21-2003, 01:15 AM

keep up the good work

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-21-2003, 10:22 AM

Getting closer!!!!

*Gee_Emm* · 09-21-2003, 11:30 AM

Yup, stock right down to the hubcaps. You don't see too many stockers and I don't want something everyone else has.

brad2 · 09-21-2003, 01:14 PM

Wow it's kind of scary seeing one cut in half like that. Looking forward to seeing more progress.

**Canadian694x4** · 09-23-2003, 08:51 PM

TTT...more progress Pics Please

**MJN** · 09-23-2003, 09:15 PM

Stock is the way to go in my book, some parts are getting too hard to find for what they are, like the correct rims. Good luck on the project and it looks great so far.

*Gee_Emm* · 09-23-2003, 09:40 PM

I will take some more later this week, just bed floor work.

grnddwn · 09-23-2003, 09:57 PM

Looking good, reminds me of mine when it was all apart. The good old days money in the bank none in the blazer
