I picked up my ride today. After a year of wanting to go topless, I did. Took out twice and it rained, oh well. I'm sure I'm going to put more miles on it. I love everything about it. There alot of small bugs to get outbut that is part of the fun.

I kown how you feel and that`s a great looking blazer.

71HUGGER396 · 09-09-2012, 05:00 PM

Thanks.

vectorit · 09-09-2012, 05:06 PM

Very nice!
The first few drives in a project are the best, just as long as a major gremlin don't make you stranded.

Looks like you got it all together nicely, now the sweet part of just going for a drive when ever you want.

Tinkermc · 09-09-2012, 08:01 PM

truck looks very nice, maybe you need a rag top so after you go out and it starts to rain

OutlawRider · 09-09-2012, 08:13 PM

That's the same color I want mine to be. I really like the looks of it!

71HUGGER396 · 09-09-2012, 09:26 PM

I have a soft top, but it started raining fast. These Blazers look great in these colors.

OutlawRider · 09-09-2012, 09:38 PM

What is the color? Just burnt orange? And it looks to have some metallic to it?

Sillyoldman · 09-09-2012, 09:39 PM

It looks great, congrats!

oldschool18 · 09-09-2012, 11:35 PM

Congrats on getting it on the road

GuyO · 09-10-2012, 12:38 AM

I love that color, I have a PPG paint book - is it Burnt Orange Effect 44471? My 72 CST goes in tomorrow for paint, burnt orange and Saturn Gold below trim line. I really like the 68 trim, Mar-K makes a 68 kit for 72's. I can't wait to get it all back together and go topless too.

71HUGGER396 · 09-10-2012, 04:31 PM

The paint is a jeep color from 2 years ago, Mango Tango. The first gremlin I had was finding out the motor was bad, so I had a 402, now it's a 454 450 HP.

**jaros44sr** · 09-10-2012, 10:22 PM

That came out really nice, gotta luv the '68 trim, and the old school look wheels...

Let me define gremlin for you....step on brakes and you blow a fuse

Bad motor is more then a gremlin

Good luck with your ride, did i say it looks nice, more pics!

**67OLDSTYLE72** · 09-10-2012, 10:46 PM

Blazer looks bad a$$ bro and which one of the kids get the blazer or the 50 th annv. truck? if they fight over it you no they can come over to uncle jays where they will be in a good home. again broo bad a$$

ol'blu72 · 09-11-2012, 10:00 PM

Great looking truck!! I hate it when the trusty iphone lies about the weather and it rains when I have taken the blazer out.
