What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today? - Page 42 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Reverse camera installation completed this week. Image pops up automatically when the transmission is put in reverse using an old JVC KD-AVX77 1 din touch screen head unit for the display.

This is a project I started several years ago and am happy it's complete. The dash was already cut when I bought it so I didn't feel bad swapping the 90s CD player out for something that had clean lines. Its an older DVD unit from 2009-2011 but it seems to fit with the dash theme, almost looking like a black blank plate when it's off. Plus it can support HD radio, Bluetooth, and can act as a navigation and dvd monitor.

Top had 9 holes in it. Holes had washers attached to the top by epoxy. Had to cut and sand epoxy off, fill holes with fiberglass resin. Sand repairs and Re texture repaired areas. Then got a coat of Rustoleum satin white. Going to let dry overnight before I strap it back to my electric hoist and raise up and out of the way.

**Ol Blue K20** · 11-14-2020, 11:17 AM

It looks good. What did you use to re texture?

Painted a saddle center console Parchment white. Painted the bow tie 510 Medium blue.

I had some 510 Medium blue left over so we kept on painting. Dash, windshield frame, door jambs, insides and jambs of doors.

Spf79 · 11-18-2020, 11:36 PM

I finalized my paint color... it has only been 4-1/2 years waiting for this... 516 orange. Hopefully I pick it up Friday... & fingers crossed I am able to mate body to frame without many hiccups.
