Dude are you married? I have been dating my new girlfriend for almost two years now so it has been a little hard getting back on my 2wd Blazer. I am fast at fabricating and bodywork too, but even then it takes alot of time to do it correctly and not make it look at botched up. Nice work. Keep us updated with the pics.

Your first mistake was stopping when you started dating her. At the two year mark we went out and bought a house with a shop so I could work on projects more than I was in a two car garage. Now it seams if I am not out their working a few day a week at least I get told I am slacking

I am always amazed at your skill and speed. Keep the good stuff coming.

Rokcrln · 02-28-2006, 04:30 PM

Well my job sites were rained out to day so I am getting some time in on the project. First thing I had to do was get the door gaps set on both doors and then I could attack the cab corner and finish the rocker. All in all it weent well except teh cab corner did not fit the body corner very well so I had to slice a wedge out of it to fit right. It went from 3/16" at the top to 0" tward the bottom. Now after lunch I will work on the door inner panel and window chanel.

This is some great work...I love following your threads! I wish I had some of that skill and patience

Keep it up!!

Very nice work Kevin. I've got a couple of Q's if you've got a second. By full build-up do you mean you'll be doing all work on the truck, including paint, drivetrain, interior, etc?

Second: What is typically done about rust in this area of the doors? It doesn't appear to be comming through, but it's there. Do you typically leave it alone if it's not "showing" or do you cut it out and replace? I thought my doors were solid, but recently noticed this area was "seperating" due to rust between the inner skin the the doors outer skin folding over. I'm not skilled so I purchased two new doors from goodmark and I am currently rust proofing and coating the crap out of them. I'm going to save my stock doors and maybe improve my welding skills someday

Again, if you were closer and I could afford to pay ya, my '67 would be in your shop

Long Roof · 02-28-2006, 06:22 PM

Kevin,

I know you may not be this far yet, but I was wondering about the rear door window setup. I have a few pictures of the burb rear door with a pickup curved door frame. I don't think that the partition channel between the roll up window and fixed window is parallel with the door frame. Are you planning on correcting this? The pictures below have had this correction done.

Rokcrln · 02-28-2006, 07:52 PM

67ChevyRedneck~ Yes we are planning on adjusting the post and will most will be putting in power windows as well. As far as the pinch area on the door what I normally do if it is not showing yet is flood the area with a rust disolver (like rust mort) and then flood it with a por15 type product. #rd step is hope for the best.

Well I went out after lunch and remembered I needed to finish the top rail of the door opening before I finished the door it self. I had some pieces from our donor cab but they were not long enough for the area and the profile was not quite right. So out came the sheet steel and I made the pieces I needed.

Kevin

I hate to say it but the one I use is a cheap piece I picked up for under $300 at post tools. I bought it just to try out before spending more money on a bigger, nicer one but it works well so it has not yet been replaced.

Yes it is! It is a long drawn out project that has been moved three times since it was taken apart and I have started alot of other projects around it. I will ether sell it as is or I will probably finish it then sell it. I am burnt out on it and I have several wild projects in the design stage for once this crew cab project is finished. So right now it is taking up valuable shop space.

I had some time tonight to work on getting the 4th door finished up. I have finished the top window rail an dstarted on the inner door panel. The last pic shows the panel that was removed from the burb. It is what would be the 4th door panel in a 3dr. After welding it in I will still need to set up the window rails and a door handle.

Kevin

72CREWCAB · 03-02-2006, 11:18 PM

Lookin' awsome Kevin. Sorry to bug ya but where did you get those panel alignment clips? I've seen other people use 'em but never been able to find up here.

Thanks

Just an update.. I will be doing a bit of adjusting and door gap work for the next little bit so pics wont be foer a few days. But don't worry I will be cack soon with more build progress.
