Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
In for the build. Incredible work. Also, I again am reminded why safety glasses are a *must*. Far to often I don't bother.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
I think the eye looks pretty cool. Kinda like those prisoners that tattoo their eyes. lol I had a wire from a wire wheel stuck in my toe for 6 weeks a couple of years ago. Now I never go barefoot in the garage.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
So, this is your lame excuse for not getting the interior into paint???
LOL! Just kidding!!! A face shield & safety glasses are definitely a must when using a twisted wire brush with a grinder. I did the entire bottom of my cab, inner fenders, and inside of the box sides this way in the heat of summer. I can remember being in the shower several hours after the fact, and finding wires sticking out of my chest, and in my shins! You can never have too much protection! Good thing that you are O.K!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Thanks for the positive comments guys. Im gonna get back at it this weekend. I felt like it was appropriate to take a break for a few days and let my body heal. Truth is, i completely wore myself out last week and needed to step back. My knees, fingers and obviously eye were wasted.
Funny thing, i found a wire embedded in my belly, about an inch deep when i was at the ER. I never felt it prior to that. I guess i was so worried about my eye, i didn't notice. Good thing i got a tetanus shot!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Just saw this, you got lucky.
I wear glasses too, but it just shows you, even with a visor, **** can happen. Glad your eye is OK.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Yesterday i pushed forward and got the cab, doors and steering column painted. Today i was able to get the Raptor liner sprayed on the floor. The paint turned out ok, but the floor turned out great! The Raptor is easy to apply and looks killer!!!
Here are a few pics. Im going to start bolting this heapback together tomorrow!
