Interior project

typhoon_200 · 01-24-2008, 09:40 AM

Well i just bought a 96 blazer tuesday and last night i pulled it in to start the first mod. Some might think its kinda pointless but i really like a quiet ride and no rattles! :P here are some pics so far.

Wrkn prgs · 01-24-2008, 09:51 AM

Damn, and I thought you were going for weight reduction until I saw the last pic.

flanders20 · 01-24-2008, 07:03 PM

so is that basically like dynamat

bonjourblink182 · 01-24-2008, 07:45 PM

Man the squeaks drive me nuts in mine...so I just put a Flowmaster on it... That solves alot of those annoying squeaks and rattles as well as annoying squeaking ball joints!!!

How much does that hush mat run? I know dynamat is $$$$$$$$$$$$$

typhoon_200 · 01-24-2008, 09:54 PM

the kit i got was the biggest kit they offer. its called the bulk kit. it is 30 sheets and each sheet is 12"x23" and it cost about $250

im hoping that it will cover most if not all of my interior. i am not gona do behind the dash yet because i will be upgrading to the 98+ dash within a month and i will just cover it while i have the dash out.

as far as the flowmaster comment.....i plan on running true duals soon that turn down right in front of the rear diff. and if it is to loud inside the truck with that exaust then i will probably double layer the floor.

bonjourblink182 · 01-24-2008, 11:12 PM

thats what im talking bout!!! lol

typhoon_200 · 01-25-2008, 01:27 AM

wow....this is the first second gen blazer i have ever owned and i must say that the interiors suck to take out!!! first gen blazers are so much easier to tear apart than the second gen stuff IMO.

typhoon_200 · 01-25-2008, 11:54 PM

well i worked on the blazer again tonight. i have little time available so i can only do so much at a time. but i got the entire thing stripped and now im ready for preping the surfaces. i did find some hidden treasures thoe! the previous owner installed all boston acoustic speakers and idk if these blazers come with tweaters in the dash or not but mine hase plate adapters and tweaters in the dash.

also i just got my new head unit in today! its gota be one of the cleanest looking units i have seen. it does everything threw bluetooth. its a clarion FB275BT

flanders20 · 01-26-2008, 06:17 PM

got a nice rats nest of wires on the drivers side

phillip7 · 01-26-2008, 06:42 PM

Looks good, I need to check under my speaker grilles on the dash just to see what's in there!

bonjourblink182 · 01-26-2008, 09:02 PM

My stock sound system in the '95 LT has tweeters in the dash. I think it might be part of the "premium sound package." but a 4x6 plate component system is going to fit in there just fine i think...hehe

Oh and by the way...the stock tweeters blow very easily...i think i trashed one of mine already and have been working on the second one

typhoon_200 · 01-27-2008, 01:31 AM

well the rats nest is from the previous owner who obviously has no idea how to run wires. it was pathetic. also i went to the junk yard today and hit the jackpot! they were just rolling in with a 2001 blazer LT and it had the full interior and had power heated mirrors and dual power leather seats. im pretty pumped about getting the newr leather interior. it will make my project take longer but it will be worth it.

typhoon_200 · 01-28-2008, 04:19 PM

well guys it really pays off to do alot of buisness with your local salvage yard and have a good rep there. i got that 2001 interior and the mirrors that is leather and full power and heated everything for only 250 bucks!!! the shit is mint and i cant wait to get it all in!

cpolaris502 · 01-28-2008, 04:24 PM

as long as its all stripped you might as well bag and bd it.

good deal on the junkyard parts! i think most blazers had tweaters in the dash but my base model didn't.

typhoon_200 · 01-28-2008, 07:15 PM

i am gona bag it very soon. i will probably work on the front half of the interior now and just leave the back half bare. i have shockwaves for the front but im still unsure whats going to happen with the back. as far as a body drop....i dont want to spend the money or have it down that long. i will just add some extreme ground effects to get the body on the ground.

bonjourblink182 · 01-28-2008, 11:54 PM

so can you find me an '01 interior in black leather for $250...lol I have gray leather now but really wish it was black, well at least black carpet and seats, think the black on gray thing would be sweet!!!

typhoon_200 · 01-29-2008, 09:41 AM

sorry man......they have a shit ton of s10's and blazers but that was the only un-touched one.

really?

next time i'm at the junkyard, i'm gonna rip off every speaker grille i see on blazer dashes

i want some tweeter mounts like that

typhoon_200 · 01-30-2008, 12:03 AM

UPDATE!!

got alot of work done tonight to the blazer and had the chance to fit some new wheels to see what they look like. here are the pics!

and by the way....this is the first time i have ever put this sound material in a blazer and it really sux to get it right!! they make it look so easy on tv but its a bitch to get this stuff all layed down flat and in every corner and crevis!!

Justin · 01-30-2008, 04:53 PM

lookin good. Nice wheels.

russell · 01-30-2008, 05:01 PM

Wanna do mine? LOL

wildman ss · 01-30-2008, 06:16 PM

you need to give me those wheels to put on my 95 blazer now!

typhoon_200 · 01-30-2008, 06:36 PM

LMAO! i just got them. those are 20's and i beleive i am gona put those on the front now and go with 22's on the back. it should look good.

purplepassion · 01-30-2008, 06:42 PM

i thought you didn't want to cut up front, so you were gonna go with 18's?

typhoon_200 · 01-30-2008, 06:47 PM

i thot so to until i learned from some members on here that i guess u dont have to cut up the heater/ac box very much if at all. inner fenders dont bother me cuz its easy to make new there. plus the 22's on the back would be sweet.

typhoon_200 · 01-31-2008, 09:46 AM

Made some more progress last night. i would have had it finished but i ran out of hush mat so i will need to order some more. here's so pics! enjoy!

cpolaris502 · 02-01-2008, 01:52 AM

the wheels are awesome. how much do have left to cover when you ran out?

russell · 02-01-2008, 01:54 AM

i pretty much have from the front seats forward left. but its actually a good thing that i ran out because it will just give me some time to get the 01 interior fitted in it before i cover it with hush mat. im still waiting on my dash thoe.

LOL! i wish man. that would almost be like a vacation for me.

typhoon_200 · 02-05-2008, 01:07 AM

well i tried out my hand at smoothing and painting interior pieces for the first time and for cuttin some corners on my test piece i think it turned out very well!! my steps were as follows....
1. 80 grit paper to sand down all the texture
2. 180 grit paper to knock down the scratches from the 80 grit paper
3. wash and prime with filler primer
4. no sanding of the primer....just sprayed color coat

i used all rattle can as well. cheap and effective!

bonjourblink182 · 02-05-2008, 04:47 PM

What do you have to change to get that '01 dash into the '96. I have a '95 and I was looking to change it to the new style dash meaning 98+. I know it'll bolt right in, but what kinda of heater box modifications need to be made, if any at all. How about wiring? I am doing a chassis swap to mine and will be re-wiring much if not all of the truck anyway, but I am still curious on the modifications needed because I would like to keep as much stock wiring in the truck as I can, unless its all different in which case I'll just re-wire the whole thing. The gauges I will be replacing with Autometer gauges.

typhoon_200 · 02-05-2008, 07:12 PM

im not for sure yet because i haven't started going back together with it yet. i put the new driver seat in and the only thing u have to do is cut off the right rear seat stud because the 98+ seats use the seatbelt hole instead of the stud.

i dont know what you mean by that...you have a pick?

typhoon_200 · 02-06-2008, 12:07 PM

ok.....there are four studs that the seat bolts down to. if u are facing the front of the truck it is the back right stud that needs cut off. if u have both types of seats there u will understand what i mean.

cpolaris502 · 02-06-2008, 06:04 PM

so you're doing the new dash too? might wanna talk to orangesonoma about that. he just did it and said it was a pain to do.

typhoon_200 · 02-06-2008, 06:07 PM

yeah i have been told alot that it sucks to do but i think it will be worth it to have the newer look.

OnE SiCk XtReMe · 02-06-2008, 11:57 PM

trucks looking good

bonjourblink182 · 02-06-2008, 11:59 PM

i gotcha now... i looked at another pic...

typhoon_200 · 02-07-2008, 09:37 AM

well i got the center console painted last night and let me tell u it is such a bitch sanding every bit of texture off these panels! but it is well worth it in the end. i still need to clear the panel and color sand it smooth so after that i will have pics.

CraigDavid · 02-18-2008, 09:33 PM

anymore pics? looks like a pretty good little project

typhoon_200 · 02-18-2008, 10:59 PM

well this project is currently on hold cuz i am baggin the blazer at the moment. i will be getting back to this project when i finish the bag setup.

CraigDavid · 02-18-2008, 11:20 PM

aight cool man. *subscribz*

Nolly_Nolly · 02-20-2008, 11:38 PM

hey so quick question. since we're talking abotu quieting blazers and what not. You know those slots in the doors where you can hold cds or paper or whatever. whats the best way to stop those from rattling? My ZR2 has a stock bose and they are so annoying. Are they seperate peices? any adivce would be sweet thanks
