Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
First coats of primer a few days ago.
A good solid day of blocking, and then two additional coats of primer. We'll see how the next blocking comes out, but hopefully it will be the final block. Pat |

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
Cut and rubbed the paint. Turning out extremely well.
Replaced the simulated wood in the tailgate too. Pat |

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
That is gorgeous !!!!!!!! Wish I had one. All the blazers in Tennessee are very rusty. Hard to find one in that shape. Love it

Man....we can't wait to get back to Tennessee for our next visit. We have a daughter that lives in Alabama, so we always fly into Nashville. Would love to find a place out there, but we still have ties here too. Isn't there a big Chevy show in Pigeon Forge? Pat |

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
Pretty much complete now.
Of course we all know it's never truly done. I do want to install my gear vendor and attempt to make that work. For now though, I will be repairing the top now, and get it back on the Jimmy. I will be looking for recommendations on top repairs. Hopefully I'll find something in the search category. Pat |

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
Out of sequence, but I did want to show the door panels.
The foam around the edge is the original that I took off. I just had to utilize contact cement to put it back on. The white panel foam was found underneath of the old carpeting that I removed. Plus a few pics of the underside of the original panels & the arm rest. The panels were in such good shape, I chose not to replace them with reproduction. There just comes a point of when to stop! I'll live with the scratched wood grain. I would like to find an original for the passenger side, as the wood grain is worn through in a few places. Pat |
