The build begins , plans include dark purple metallic 4 inch lift, just a clean topless driver (blazer) i have had my eye on this blazer for at least 8 years that i can remeber, never really dared to ask about it just seen from a distance, anyways i finally decided to get closer look and ask about it, turns out it was abanded, got looking at it found very rest free, best i have ever seen! all orginal AND COMPLETE very nice options one word WOW!, so the process begins, she is even bragging to all her friends and family how stoked she is, and she is even getting in there and getting dirty tearing apart! here is some pics to start with

Compared to the others I have seen on here and pictures on the Internet!, it's very rust free, windshield frame, rear tub and floors, and cab supports are solid ,only inner rockers and outer at front quarters, this will be my first build, my 72 was already nice

Re: Kelly Jo's 71 Blazer!! BUILD

Looks to be a hickey style roll bar. Not sure if the logo was stamped one them anywhere though. I wish I had space for two Blazers. I already got rid of my 67 chevelle to be able to Concentrate on the blazer.
