Re: 71 Blazer "Finishing Touches"
Nice. I am completely jealous! I want a Blazer now. The interior is super clean and the engine looks immaculate. PM me what brand the headers are and the price tag on em!

Re: 71 Blazer "Finishing Touches"
Man let me tell you I am going to hate to see this thread end. Now I have to find another blazer thread to drool over. That thing looks awesome. It really does. Thanks for the detailed pics and descriptions of what was done. So what is on Tap next?

Thanks! Quote:
Eventually I REALLY want a blazer myself. I'm going to go the 2wd route whether I convert it or not and it will be a roadster (always topless) as this thing is such a pleasure to drive with the top off. Need to find a smaller house with a bigger garage before that can happen though

Re: 71 Blazer "Finishing Touches"
Thanks to everyone who's followed along and offered encouragement. It's been a lot of work but I've enjoyed it overall. Going to give my wife a break and wait a bit but if I find a deal I'm going to be all over it
The next owner seems like a really nice guy from our phone and email conversations and he wanted to let everyone know he'll post pictures up at some point when he gets it.

Re: 71 Blazer "Finishing Touches"
The pics and vid look great...I just can't say enough how impressed I am with the final results. You guys rock in Richmond.
Any cruise plans for this weekend? |

33's can't remember the exact size unless I posted somewhere in the build. It was a 2" front / 4" rear lift. Since the blazers are lower from the factory in the rear it levels it out perfectly. Quote:
I was happy with how it turned out and got a TON of great comments on my few test drives with it. I REALLY loved the Blazer with the top off. Definitely want to have a 2wd version some day that's a full time roadster (no top)
