Re: PO has me PO'd
I'll talk to Doug about selling you one at wholesale if you'll document what you do to install it

Re: PO has me PO'd
I sure like the look of that floor pan. Its a nice clean install. The floor supports already come attached right? Then you just welded the braces running fore and aft back in right?

Re: PO has me PO'd
Everything is dun, just have to reweld the fore braces back together at the firewall and the factory seams front and back. If your A and B posts are in good shape, just hang your rockers

Re: PO has me PO'd
[QUOTE=vtblazer;2684121]Yeah, thought that was the case but had to ask just in case you guys were sneaking something in and trying something new
JB, how about a rethink on that cool shaved cowl from Direct Sheet Metal, we could use that new brace you just repoped around the steering column

Re: PO has me PO'd
Here are some more
Clamped in place Zip screwed every 4 ", later I'll come back and drill holes in between the zips every 1" for plug welds What looks like a white line is masking tape for referance, I cut about 3/16" off of the floor flange( between the longitude braces) so I could fit the seam up better, floor flange was just a little long

Re: PO has me PO'd
That looks mighty good, you guys are welcome to start working on my 71, she needs some new rockers and I'm sure I could think of a couple of other things you could do. J could meet the old lady and see how mean she is in person!

Re: PO has me PO'd
Today's progress, started to work on the kick panels. My idea of the template didn't pan out, and am I glad I cut 1/2" below the line. You can see the original line where I cut, moral of the story always use the patch panel for fitting and since I removed the cowl it made it much easier to work in that area. Once I cut the kick area out I reinstalled the cowl for fitment of the patch. Had to cut away the lower portion of the A post to get the kick panel in there
That gap, between the cowl and floorboard will be rebent once I remove the floorboard( don't know why it's there) Thanks TJ

Re: PO has me PO'd
Excellent work Jim!
This thing is going to be better than a new truck, no offense to you GM workers building the new trucks. The kick panel area is the one I'm most concerned about on my Blazer.

Re: PO has me PO'd
That's the area that always gives me the most trouble. I'll try to document it better for ya, since I have to do the other side. I tend to go with what fits rite, as opposed to where it is supposed to go
