Coming along nicely. I would assume these need bracing after the top’s cut off, even though you’re BOF. Maybe a roll hoop, tie it into the frame?
Lots of those out on the left coast, don’t see too many in WNY. Bitchin’ project :tup:
Gas tank is coming out of oregon sometime next week most likely. I have the original sitting in the passenger seat location, but it’s got a hole that’s been bondo’d up. Still leaks from what I am told.
As for the roof, I am not cutting it off. It came like that from the factory. 69-75 blazers and Jimmys were full convertible. I do need to get new torsion boxes and have them welded in. They are basically an extra rocker box/support that is there to strengthen the body when the top is off. Always rot out though due to the design.
I do have a roll bar for it, i just need to take it out, weld some feet onto it, clean it up and get it painted before I attempt to put it on. Basically just a little support should it ever go over. If I start taking it off road more then I’ll put in a better cage.
Going to be taking a break from this for a bit while I finish up some house projects, and going camping at Darien Lake this weekend with some family and friends.
very nice project, very intrested in seeing how it turns out. :wiggle:
