And so it begins! Good to see!

If I take the wood grain panel off the glove box is there holes behind it?

 

[AgDieseler]

Outstanding.

Doubt it
I would think it's just a decal like the gauges are. I've never seen a glove box with more than just the emblem holes (which you don't have)

 

[CK5]

It's not a decal though, it's a plate that is on top of the door.

If it had a CST badge on the glovebox door originally there will probably be holes drilled on the front surface.

You're killing me Mikey!

It would be nice to have a few more t shirt options

Looks good! Is the tbi engine wore out or just not up to the power output you want?

Both I think.

Nice blazer, You gonna fix the body and repaint to match the interior color? Better just sling in a big block. I would love a 72 blazer, guess I better fix up my 72 pickup first.

 

[CK5]

Yeah, will paint original dark blue

My favourite steering wheel!

The Camaro steering wheel is going by by at some point.

[GWeakland620]

Nice find!

 

[MTBLAZER89]

The bad
Has 350 TBI from 92 suburban (dog)
Has NP241 t-case (fixed rear yoke), would still like NP205

Those both seem like they should be in the "good" list.

What's the definition of "too much" for rust repair? Keep it all "stock" like Greg, or just patch over what's there to keep it a driver?
