Looking mighty fine.
So, I'm not a big fan of chrome I have been doing a of welding Bondo & paint to cover up all the holes from the chrome trim around Molly.
So, I did this today. Before and after photos.

Ya might want to consider putting things like that rear tailgate panel up for sale in the the classified section - apparently pieces like that are bringing some big dollars nowadays!
I like the clean basic look too.
I think I paid something like $250 or $300 Shipped for that panel in perfect condition, and this was before covid and all the price spikes. That piece isn't reproduced yet so it's definitely worth some money.
I personally think it looks better with the panel, looks like a base model/military CUCV without it
I personally like the clean look, it still has the orginal K5 Blazer and Silverado badges on the side.
I just looked back at page 3 photos and now I agree with you, with all the side Chrome trims removed it looked weird with just a giant Chrome panel on the back by itself.
I was thinking of doing that to my K5 before the wreck. I like the new, stripped down look.
Well, a lot has been done since my last update.
I will do a number of posts to get up to date.
First off finish putting Killmat in the back of the Blazer.

Next My son Muddysub came out from Minnesota for Father Day weekend. To help with a couple seals on the T-case, and manual throttle, along with a new u-joint.
Of course we had to go for drive. He does love to drive Square Body's
Then it was time for the new windshield.
My shell has the holes in it for a roof rack. So, I made up some new cross bars to put a roof rack on someday.
So I had to have fun with them. Little Mini Molly's.

How did that glass guy do for ya?
He did awesome, new windshield and the rubber trim installed around the shell windows that I couldn't do. all for $300.00.
That’s great! It’s hard to find guys that can still do the older stuff well. Got a contact for him? The guys I used retired.
Sure, do I'm in Las Vegas NV. Ron the glass guy. 702 521-2315
Thanks, yeah me too. Henderson actually. I’ve been to Scott’s house once before he moved. He borrowed my gear setup tools once before and then he gave me some squarebody parts!
That seems like a screaming deal
Sounds fair to me. I just bought a windshield for my suburban here locally from a glass shop and they charged me 155. So that means they probably get them for 80-100 bucks would be my guess.
