Fiberglass repair, texture and paint on the top.

**a1vintage69** · 06-06-2020, 09:32 PM

Getting the windshield gutter ready to seam seal it. Got all the nearly 50 year old sealer and silicon removed and sanded it down to bare metal. It's ready for primer and new seam sealer. nicest gutter I have ever seen!

Skymortar · 06-06-2020, 10:03 PM

Got my old lock pillars out to weld in my new bedsides...Nope. NOS quarters didnt come with them

SeventyOne · 06-07-2020, 07:31 PM

Today I:
-Adjusted my fast idle screw
-Adjusted my prop valve (rears were locking up under hard braking)
-Bent my gas pedal slightly (I wasnt able to get to WOT)
-Changed my oil (100 miles on new engine)
-Figured out why my right front blinker wasnt working (wire connection at core support came undone)
-Adjusted my tire pressure (30 front 26 rear)
-Installed a trans temp gauge
-Chasing a small power steering leak in my hydraboost system

**jaros44sr** · 06-08-2020, 01:37 PM

fixed my faulty temp. gauge , with guys help down on the electrical section. turned out to be a bad sensor, a1971bazer turned one down to 3/8", now my gauge reads correctly. AC Delco part #G1852

hemi43 · 06-08-2020, 03:06 PM

Not a huge project, but I powder coated my Softopper rails today.

Ptjsk · 06-10-2020, 12:24 AM

Completed the bottom trim pieces today.

**DeadheadNM** · 06-10-2020, 07:52 AM

Picked up a GM hood hinge at my local Chevy dealer’s parts counter.

Skymortar · 06-13-2020, 08:49 PM

Looks awesome. Did you dye your door panels? They look new...

Green Monster · 06-30-2020, 11:07 AM

New black differential covers- front and back.

Did your (large) spare tire work with the original spare tire holder?

Thanks,

I am using the original spare tire carrier with a 33x12.5R15 BFG KO2. So far I replaced the carriage bolt with longer than stock but needs a little more modification to make it fit right. The carrier needs to about 6 inches taller. A metal box (open on the bottom) that fits over the carrier to serve as an extension will probably work.

BobbyK · 07-11-2020, 08:51 PM

I'm having TOO much fun driving my 71 this summer to do anything to it.
I took it to work all this week.

Shot this pic leaving one day.

scott123 · 06-30-2020, 03:07 PM

Today I pulled out the automatic column and started the rebuild on it. Clean, sand, prep and paint to back into the 72 Blazer.

I'm changing over to an automatic but doing it one step at a time. Column first. Transmission lines on the ready and then the swap to the TH350/NP205. After that the pedal assembly.

Trying no to leave it crippled as it is a blast to drive.
