Sorry i don't have the first steps of the blazer teardown... I started by removing the camper, filling the holes, shaving the doors, removing the vent window, shorten the door, sealed/welded closed, chopped the window and pillars down, and refit the front with a 67 front clip!!

c10mar · 10-11-2013, 11:12 AM

Front windshield chopped 5 inches, now to cap off the top pillars

c10mar · 10-12-2013, 02:51 PM

Just about all in primer, fresh and smooth all the way down

c10mar · 10-15-2013, 02:51 AM

Some more progress, cleaning up, finishing bodywork and fitting tonoecover

c10mar · 10-18-2013, 12:01 AM

Today felt like a good day to rip out the engine, strip the firewall and slap it in primer! ! Thanks big bro!!
