Re: My Latest Toy - 72 K5 Blazer CST

My new seat covers arrived and I'm still working on putting them on. Rough on the fingers... I dyed the door panels black but the woodgrain just didnt work for me. I took them back off and removed it in favor of the scroll pattern. Also redid the console in black and managed to recode the cylinder to an old key I had in the toolbox. Its a little thing but I hooked up the foot well lights. Its crazy how much light they give off. You can see them glowing in the pic. I cleaned up the column and painted it black, replaced the horn contact parts and hooked up the old horns under the hood. Only the low note worked but one is better than none.
