The Blazer is getting close... should be after almost seven years! I'm having a total blast tooling around. Here's a little before and after...

Thanks all for the cudos.

I have tremendous respect for this crowd and it means a lot. The countless projects and amazing work I've witnessed on this board has been the inspiration.

VT,

It's a stock color.. 508 Dark Blue Met. Shot it with PPG BC/CC. Painted the top white. Still need to finish the console, rear seat & panels, build a roll bar, put the top back together... Lots of details. No hurry, I'd rather be driving it now!

You know, haven't really needed the power windows yet either! Being excessive is part of the madness
