Glad you figured it out.

I got my carpet kit in the back and seems to fit pretty well.

**7D2N** · 12-08-2022, 07:33 PM

A couple more things I can check off my list. The front carpet is in for now and not sure if I will go with a noise barrier or something like that. I cleaned up and painted the console.

**7D2N** · 12-09-2022, 04:45 PM

Thanks, Jim.

**7D2N** · 12-09-2022, 04:53 PM

Tom I used the 3M, and seems to stick good but I had it everywhere. I will give that a shot if I have problems.

**7D2N** · 01-18-2023, 10:23 PM

Fitting the carpet and cutting holes has taken a lot of time.

**jaros44sr** · 01-19-2023, 08:25 PM

Awesome work

**Tom Vogel** · 04-05-2023, 11:22 PM

Gonna have this puppy ready for the national show in Salt Lake at end of June?

Tom won't make it, still a ways out. I'm in sanding the old paint off and some bodywork stage. I plan to paint myself because of the cost. I did put a fuel tank skid plate on, it didn't have one to start with but I had it so.. think it needs one.

**7D2N** · 05-08-2023, 08:24 PM

I got the heat stove on, sometimes just little details.

**jaros44sr** · 05-09-2023, 07:27 PM

Great job, I always enjoy watching your attention to detail

Thanks, Jim, I moved it out and dusted it off. I was bored and don't have a bunch of dollars for chrome plating interior pieces so for now I painted it (chrome) yes I know but I had to know how it would turn out.

Good progress on the body work. Can you say what you used to paint the air cleaner? That is a very nice sheen. A little flatter than most.

Thank you. The paint is (low-gloss) black in the high heat type I have used it on other parts on the blazer.
I did get the side glass in the top.

**7D2N** · 04-22-2024, 10:34 AM

Anyone know how the 3 seals joins together in the door area?

**7D2N** · 05-01-2024, 08:53 PM

I have a beat-up lower door trim and some leftover chrome paint. I know it's not show quality but this will work until I can find a decent original.

**raggedjim** · 05-03-2024, 09:56 AM

Great work on the bodywork. It's definitely my least favorite thing to do.

Trim is looking good!

Good luck, Rg

Thanks Rg. First time body work guy and since I'ts not going to be perfect it will be good enough.

**7D2N** · 05-05-2024, 03:34 PM

I fought the hatch glass because it would not set right. So it turned out the raptor liner coat was a little thick, trimmed and sanded a bit and it right went in.

**7D2N** · 05-09-2024, 07:12 PM

Playing with another piece of beat up trim.

**7D2N** · 06-22-2024, 04:15 PM

I have the bodywork at the point I'm happy with. I moved the Blazer to a shop that has enough room so I can start taking it apart for paint.

**Tom Vogel** · 07-25-2024, 07:08 PM

Looking really nice. Did you figure out the door to top seals?

Tom, yes I did, when I had the top off it all made sense.

**7D2N** · 07-30-2024, 09:52 PM

It's going back together but slowly.

**7D2N** · 08-10-2024, 07:29 PM

I managed to mess up my window sweeps on the driver side when putting them together, kind of a pain but I have a few more thing off my assemby list.
