How many hours did you put into it?

dube2

11-13-2005, 06:15 PM

As far as how long I have put into it, ummm.... I dont really know, I am taking an autobody class as school and this is my project for the class, lycan, its cool if u dont like it, I respect almost everyones opinions on this site, and even if it is negative I still wanna here it. As for opening the tailgate I dont have the panel on the inside so I just open the latch in the the tailgate when I want to open it

YES, I took it somewhere local and told them to fix the rust and that is waht they did I was SOOOO pissed when I grinded it down and saw that. I literly pulled CHUNKS of filler out of the back of my truck

FYI, my back floor is still fucked up, I think I am going to go to the junk yard and cut the floor out of another one and go from there

I need one of those.. I was thinking about how I could get a sunroof out of the junkyard today, but realized I'd need like a car battery and an inverter. Didn't know they make cordless sawzalls :eek:

winditup57

11-14-2005, 10:27 PM

I had thought of doing the same to mine..because no one had been doing it..then I thought of doing that and putting in porthole windows..like the older vans had...or pinto wagons...I just havent decided yet

I personally like the look, and it looks as though you have done a decent job with it...keep it up..cant wait to see how it looks finished

How exactly did you fill it in with to keep the rounded shape of the Blaze back there and what did you use for supports on the inside?

what i think... honestly?

at first glance
thought that couch was in the back of the truck now that the windows were closed up. i think a love seat in the back would be killer!

:bigthumb:

work looks good too, but is there any warpage? only shiney new paint wil tell:D

J/p keep up the good work.
oh and by the way, i thought my truck had bad rust.. and it was just the rear quarter bottom sections.... i feel better about my rust now:rofl:

dube2

11-15-2005, 08:26 AM

I have 3 supports on each side in the back, thought about the porthole windows too, but I wanted a smooth look though, as far as how smooth it si right now, its not perfect I am going to be putting a guide coat on to day to see all the high and low spots and going to be fixing them, believe me I WILL NOT, put this back on the road wavy. I will post up some more pic tonight.

PS: Fabian u are not the first person that I have showed that pic to that thought that.......................................

I'm still thinking bout the back seat :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :cool:

toals

11-15-2005, 08:35 AM

Nice to see some of the progress pics - looks all too familiar.

I spent a lot of time making mine straight and still not done. But, I haven't done a lot of body work so it may go better for you.

I'd keep the rear seat - my .02.

Keep us posted!

11-15-2005, 01:23 PM

i think that a chop top with the window filled in would be killer, but then again i don't even have a blaze so....

I am glad that u like it, u do amazing work when it comes to body mods, and thanks to everyone else 2. As far as other plans I am shaving the doors got the antenna and emblems off, roll pan on and shaved wiper cowl, will post pics later, and i am going to shave the gas door as well.

Also I have to fix the floor.....there might be some other things but I'm really tired and at work so I cant think right now

And toals....I am going to keep the back seat even if I 4-link the rear but I am not going to put the stock back seat in, thats what I meant about I was still thinking

and to everyone else THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DOING BODY WORK OF ANY KIND

Bracing looks good. What gage metal did you use? I used 16ga. on mine and didn't see a need for bracing inside.

I gotta tell ya - I'm getting anxious to get back on mine again. You have inspired me. :D

You're moving right along too. Take your time with the body work though. If I've learned anything of body work, its patience.

I used 18ga, and the bracing is actually roof cross-members from a saturn that was donated to the school:bigthumb:

thats pretty much it right now, i get out of school for christmas break friday, so I am priming it and leaving it at school, then over the break I am going to decide if I am going to paint it now or just leave it primed until i get done with the engine. Plus as it sits right now I am broke as fuck and I cant afford paint.....

as far as colors, I have alot of things in my mind right now, when I narrow it down I am prolly gonna post a poll and see what every one thinks

Although I do like the color

most of it i did my self, it was ALOT of work, but well worth it now that i see it all in one color, believe me if u do do it there will be times that u wish that u would have just left the windows in there, cuz I was until about monday, lol, but now that I see it like this i really like it, now all i gotta do, is finish up a couple of lil things, and paint it what ever color i decide, and start saving for the engine:bigthumb:

Thanks man, I really like the look to, when I started doing the body work to this I had no intentions of filling the back windows, but once I pulled them out I figured I would do it just for something different

And superbee, it really is, and when I put my tinted windows back in it will be even darker, thats y i decided to leave my sunroof in it
