krue · 10-22-2005, 02:10 PM

I love it! That's how I want mine to look! Bring it on down here, we're a long way from winter and don't use salt for anything but seasoning anyways!

Did you buy the floor for your blazer from a guy in Georgia?

jcfoote60 · 10-22-2005, 05:53 PM

Right ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a 71 and have just began my restore..you give me inspiration my friend...how long from beginning to end? You did a great job

chevy_fatman · 10-22-2005, 06:20 PM

It looks good!, are you going to fix that passenger seat? it looks like is higher and leaning towars the driver's side

*Medicanman71* · 10-22-2005, 07:11 PM

How many of you guys have you pipes cumming out under the middle of the bumper like that?!?!?!? Do you get fumes?!?!?!

i thought blazer pipes are 'sposed to exit on the corners...

looks tight though!

vtblazer · 10-22-2005, 07:21 PM

There's always next year.

Very sharp Jimmy!

Nice job.

What a sweet Jimmy.I didn`t know you could still buy them new.

Quote:"i thought blazer pipes are 'sposed to exit on the corners..."

`Sposed to?What`s up with that?They`re `sposed to have AM radios,skinny tires and hubcaps,single exhaust....need I say more?But,this isn`t a Blazer anyway.

No offense,dude.Just finding it hard to find a flaw here.

71RestoRod · 10-22-2005, 08:34 PM

Congrats! Great job. Love the color! I especially like that tailgate... Looks sharp!

Swbman · 10-22-2005, 08:37 PM

NIce Looking Jimmy, now at least you will something to look til next spring.. Sweet shade of Blue..

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 10-22-2005, 09:29 PM

Yes Tim this is the Jimmy I put your floor in and it looks prefect from the bottom. Is their anything you need I owe you one for that nice floor.

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 10-22-2005, 09:38 PM

I put 2 pieces of carpet under the left side but it still leans to the left I think most of these blazers and Jimmys have the same problem. Does anyone no a better way to fix it.

Never known it to be 'common'

No real reason for the lean other than the seat bracket or frame being bent.

Floor should be flat/straight across where it bolts down.

Maybe a different year bracket on one side somehow...?

I like the carpet color you choose for the blue, nice contrast and match.

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 10-22-2005, 09:45 PM

I dont have any problems with fumes but then I never put the top on.
I think the pipes came out behind the tire with just a single pipe.

It took me over 5 years to get it done I was layed off twice in that 5 years that really slow me down not having any money.

**Yukon Jack** · 10-23-2005, 10:21 AM

That's a beauty - more pics!

ClassicStyle · 10-23-2005, 11:36 AM

I love your jimmy, damn. got the shock n' awe thing going for me right now. Damn nice blazer, you did one hell of job in your rebuild.

Dont owrry about the seat, its just got the "gangsta lean" goin. haha.

Once again, great job!

I knew there was a reason I suffer through those hot dry summer days!! I get to drive mine year round and I occasionally break out my bike and ride in the "DEAD OF WINTER" well OK 70 degree days is not really dead of winter!! Come out and visit, we have lots of snow birds show up to winter out here in AZ and it is even topless weather most of the year (cars and occassionally women too!)
