    Inset door on blazer

    Were the gaps good before you removed the door? Are the hinges tight? Does the striker have the plastic bushing? There’s a door adjusting thread on this site which explains the process very well.

    Try running it at night parked with your lights off to see if it’s arcing around the cap and plug wires.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Priceless tool, I had a used one gifted to me several years ago and I use it all the time, saves on the body significantly. I can’t imagine life without it.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Stick with your plan, maybe a different cam based on your findings. Run it, if you hate it, formulate a plan B for a future date. You might be surprised it performs better than you expected. I try to remind myself not to overthink everything.

    Missing a bit of side molding on my 85 scottsdale...

    Remove the piece on the tailgate to use on the bedside, then replace the tailgate trim with after market which you can repaint with black and chrome to look like oem. Should be good enough for a classic old rust bucket.

    Is there a slim flush mount light available that could easily be mounted with only a few drilled holes and silicone sealant to keep the water out?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Test fitted the left fender with the old skool emblem taped on. Gonna need a few shims for door alignment but pretty good. The hood gonna need some adjustments as well.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The shock mounts are about the same mounting height so I think it’s more related to the inner fender mounting and/or the inner fenders are slightly different for each side.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Installed the front shocks and put a few bolts on the wheel wells. The driver side shock doesn’t fit nicely under the wheel well like the passenger side does. Is that correct or do I need to make some adjustments when I get the fenders installed?

    Black is back or hmmm, Back in Black by AC/DC! Probably could get some blank wrap to easily return to silver.
