Welcome from Vermont; you'll find more advice and info here than you can shake a stick at!

Need another son by chance? I'll take a K5!!!:lol:

Welcome. Lots to be done to the Blazer so my advice would be to not start on lots of stuff at once. Focus on specific areas that you want to improve. Looks like seats might be a good place to start as well as getting the engine in good shape. I'd be very tempted to yank the inline for a V8. Hmmm, can you say big block!

Welcome from Wellington, my best advice is to get out your wallet. But you will have fun with your son. Just finished our 68 for (with)my 16 year old.

Welcome from north Texas

Welcome from Missouri, your son will love that when its done and you have plenty of time before he can drive :)
