Re: LFD's Project Traizer 2WD closed cab.
I was kinda surprised you left the rocker boxes in place, since they are not needed with the hard top. I'm not sure if it helps or hurts for future rust spots.

Re: LFD's Project Traizer 2WD closed cab.
Were Back! Lets jump right back in to this one. I finished up the pass floor and A post and I am starting to fit the door, rocker and bed side. Since this will be a uni body I figure it is worth a bit more time fitting every thing up. I am about to start trimming the bed sides to fit the cab/jamb once I am happy with door fitment. I might need to try another pass side rocker as this one is not fitting very well. If that doies not work I will just section this one to fit how I feel it should. Here are a few lunch time pics. Should have more tonight at some point.

Re: LFD's Project Traizer 2WD closed cab.
Definitely a 'no short cuts' build.

Re: LFD's Project Traizer 2WD closed cab.
We are almost their! The body will meet the chassie for the first time in its new state in about 20min. Today I finished the pass door, spot welded part of the upper fire wall lip because the factory spot welds did not make contact. I installed a nut insert into the pass side upper fender mouint because the stock one was missing, installed the pedal asembly, sterring column, sterring box and cleaned the frame for the body drop
I also installed the tailgate hardware and gate to the new bed sides and had to slot some holes to get the gate to line up right. Once the gate was test fit I them welded the rear gate posts to the bed. My 68 tilt front end will be going on this blazer Monday and by Tuesday it should be ready to head out. This thing will be a body mans dream with it being all new and very straite almost ready for blocking and paint. Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: LFD's Project Traizer 2WD closed cab.
All complete and ready for teh trailer and delivery I was going back thru old pics of this blazer from the start and it was rough but now it has turned into a rust free solid vehical. I think it is going to be one sweet ride when it gets finished and it should make alot of people take a second look to figure out what was done because somthing to them just does not look right. These are the fun builds to do, were they look like somthing was done but you just are not really sure what. I know we all can tell but JOE public will have a hard time.
Thanks for following along for another LFD build. Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: LFD's Project Traizer 2WD closed cab.
Well here is a bit of todays progress!
I had some rocker panel problems so I am sectioning and slicing to get everything to fit right. I also patched the drivers side door inside and out and coated everything as it was going together. Drivers side is 100% done now and I hope to have the pass side finished up by Thursday and maybe ready to go back on the frame. Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: LFD's Project Traizer 2WD closed cab.
I also drilled the door hinges to help align them when going back on after patching.
