I wouldn't call it a build, cause I'm not taking it down to the frame but I thought I would post some pics of my progress. Name: Feb 2009 029.jpg

I'm jealous of you warm climant members! I'll prob have snow till mid april again! The 53 chevy will have to wait it's turn.

What in the world is all that white stuff all around your house? I had shorts and a t shirt on all day long today and I was sweating my ass off cleaning out my garage today. And I spent all last thurs on the beach fishing. I love Texas winters!

ELLISIHO · 02-09-2009, 05:55 AM

Looks like fun, where did you get your patches? Do they fit well?

Liv'n the Spokane dream as well........500' drive way no plow.....this winter SUCKS

Dzlhead · 02-10-2009, 03:32 AM

juicer25, looks good! On your 3rd and final pic, what patch panel is on the floor where the seat was. Not the rocker, or the side floor piece, but the one that looks three sided? Does that go behind the rocker box? Where did you get it? Thanx

juicer25 · 02-10-2009, 08:30 AM

Most of the panels I purchased from LMC, and some of them from JC Whitney. I can't recall where I purchased that one from. I will let you all know how they fit when they get welded into place. With any luck by next week.

Big J · 02-10-2009, 09:25 PM

Your progress looks great. Some is always better than none. Got a little done on mine tonight. Keep at it.

**Yukon Jack** · 02-11-2009, 10:47 AM

Good looking project - I'd definitely classify that as a build regardless of whether it's down the the frame - you've got quite a project going. Keep us posted.

juicer25 · 03-10-2010, 12:01 AM

I'm finally making more progress. I will post some mor pics shortly!

juicer25 · 03-19-2010, 03:17 PM

I finally have it in the shop and getting ready to weld in the floor. I will take pics of the welding progres Name: SANY3520.jpg

Looks good - nothing hiding under that paint - makes it even better.

juicer25 · 03-29-2010, 12:12 PM

A couple pics of the recent progress.

1tonblaze · 03-29-2010, 05:24 PM

you must be a body man . nice looking truck so far wish that was the only bit of rust mine has . is that a fire bird and corvair i see sitting in that shop ?

juicer25 · 03-29-2010, 06:27 PM

Good eyes! That is a 67 Firebird and corvair. The shop isn't mine and the guy who is helping me with mine is also working on a couple other projects. Hopefully I will have the metalwork completed before too long. I've had the blazer for six years now, but haven't been able to enjoy it much lately.

MT300RUM · 03-29-2010, 11:02 PM

looks like you installed a new rocker box on the pass side, how difficult was that? and did it reguire alot of pre bracing and measurements?

1tonblaze · 03-30-2010, 10:05 AM

I know my cars lol 67-69 firebrid is going to be a project someday for me and my father has a 60s corvair monza spyder . looks like you got a good jump on all that body work .

juicer25 · 04-21-2010, 11:36 PM

A little more work on the floor pans and rockers. Someday it will be hugger orange and looking good!

Big J · 04-22-2010, 10:58 AM

Your progress is lookin' good!

**lks dcvn** · 04-22-2010, 11:43 AM

keep plugging away at it...

JimmyFloyd · 04-22-2010, 05:17 PM

Looks great. So you did the Torsion boxes, then floor, then inner and finally outer rockers? I will need to do the same on mine shortly.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-22-2010, 09:40 PM

Looks great I remember when I was at that point with mine I thought it would never end....

juicer25 · 04-29-2010, 12:15 PM

I finally finished up with the Rockers, with some help. It's nice to not have air conditioning coming up from the floor!

juicer25 · 05-30-2010, 02:40 AM

Finally got Hugger orange on it! Now, more work to do on the inside. It all takes time and money!

69-72 · 05-30-2010, 07:19 PM

she's purdy

Effeckt · 05-30-2010, 08:37 PM

Sweet! I'm jealous. I wish mine was to the point of paint.
