Tired of having your center punch roll away? Wrap some waxed thread around it

It was in a neighbors Kennedy box i bought for 50.00 when he passed

AJs72K5 · 12-15-2022, 02:41 PM

Not much chatter in the Blazer build section here. Keep pushing forward! Looking good, sir!

**jaros44sr** · 12-15-2022, 08:28 PM

Thanks AJ, I guess when your build takes 22 years, people run out of things to say,lol.

Sounds like you have alot of new things in your life now, congrats on all of them, looking forward to hearing about your frame build, quite the undertaking

Had to relocate my dip stick as it interfered with exhaust manifold and spark plug wire

low'n slow · 01-02-2023, 09:26 PM

Jim, that's a clean looking setup.

Thanks Bud, the hard part was finding V/Cs with a threaded boss to mount the coil pack,

Didn't want to drill holes for fear of leaking oil

Still have to relocate O2 sensor, shorten and repin

**jaros44sr** · 01-13-2023, 11:02 AM

Don't remember inner being that RUSTY.......

Oh well, time to seell parts to buy bed sides

My plan is to flange it and panel bond, we'll see how it goes

This seems to be starting point for each piece

Could not bend the 45 degree without warping the entire panel, so I pu the 45 on the flange

**jaros44sr** · 04-08-2023, 11:03 AM

Yesterday's failures, are today's success

Snapped free as in functions correctly now? Or snapped free from some where it was supposed to be attched to?

**jaros44sr** · 04-12-2023, 04:17 AM

If there is such a good thing as a SNAP, I think it was the cam and spring on the post freeing up

But I was concerned that the hinge was going to twist off, so my focus was on the hinge

Jesse, the whole process of rebuilding them isn't difficult, I just lost one of the parts. It was called FOCUS

I picked this one for 15.00, on our boards, and now I have a sample to go by

I'll revisit this at a later date, for now I have lots of other stuff to do

Thanks for stopping by guys, encouraging to see someone actually reads this

Hey Jim, I plan to rebuild my vent windows also, thanks for letting me know how you have done yours. I will check the bottom spring assembly.

Just take one apart at a time so you have a sample

Your truck looks amazing, thanks for posting up. I always enjoy your posts

**jaros44sr** · 04-19-2023, 09:06 AM

Today I was looking at the vent window and noticed a haze on it,

Windex didn't touch it nor carb cleaner

So I went extreme, OOOO x steel wool, took it right off
