My new to me 71 Blazer
 
I recently purchased this 71 Blazer.
The owner had been working on a frame off restoration when his wife was transferred and he couldn't keep it.
It is approximateley 85% done. I am going to finish it and have fun using it.
The toughest thing for me at this point is deciding on wheels,tires and steering wheel.

Yep, that's a beauty. One of those wood trimmed steering wheels would look great. You are right that that steering wheel needs to go. What are you thinking about rim wise?

Yes a Dakota digital dash was put in and we are finishing up the install on the Vintage Air.
I'll take photos as we finish up and light up the dash.
