Anyone catch Dave Kindig Chevy blazer episode? He sold it for 75k.

**DeadheadNM** · 11-02-2016, 11:45 PM

Thumbs up to board member Wes Hepp for supplying parts for this build http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=699078

my56chevytruck · 11-03-2016, 12:11 AM

it is one beautiful blazer for sure.

**SoCoC10** · 11-03-2016, 12:27 AM

Not a fan of the color at all. Horrible location for the air intake tube. Underhood temps are going to cause way too hot AIT. For $75k you'd think they would close off that air intake and get some colder fresh air.

But besides that, nice Blazer.

**70shortfleet** · 11-03-2016, 12:47 AM

I wonder if he knew the indicator housing on the tilt column is on backwards?

CG · 11-03-2016, 01:17 AM

Well that didn't take too long

Yeah, it bugs me to see people knocking a truck as well. But when you get into the $75k category details certainly become critical and so do those who observe. I'm wondering what is going on with the left rear tail light and trim. Is it just the picture creating an illusion or is the lens punched back in and the trim bent outward at the top? It's nice and shiny but sure looks wanky as what's on my work truck.

It's very nice through and through, whether it's something I would ever want or not. I don't know who Dave Kindig is

70short · 11-03-2016, 08:52 AM

I seen the show and I think it looks awesome!!! I love watching the show he builds some awesome vehicles! We took our grandkids to Lagoon last year and made it a point to stop by there shop of course they were filming or something so we didn't get to see much. But the interior guy Justin on the show made a point to come over and talk to us, he seemed like a very nice guy.

That guy is one of the best upholstery guys Ive seen.

70short · 11-03-2016, 09:50 AM

He's done some unique interior jobs on the show. He's done things I wouldn't have thought of. But they seem to be Dave's ideas.

Photos could look funny since I took a picture of my TV. Yes I don't like the negativity either. I'd like to see their builds and TV show.

B. W. · 11-03-2016, 11:01 AM

I saw the tail light too Special-K, maybe it's just the lighting? When you start getting into "mid-range" builds we all start looking with a magnifying glass! But if you think about it, turning it for $75,000 they either made very little or lost money. The show is what's really making them coin today!
I like the show they do some neat builds & they get along with one another. There is no yelling, screaming, cussing or throwing things! In the real work world a shop that full of bad attitudes will not last. Heck, I know it's not the real world but if their shop is anything like the show I'd work for 'em.

and i am just over here pumped because its running my Slosh Tubz and filler panels!!! LOVE IT

YBNORML · 11-03-2016, 01:19 AM

I like the colours, the green looks great with the white roof and interior. I like how they used the stock seats and just modified them. I'm not a fan of newer seats in these trucks.

WarMonger · 11-03-2016, 10:14 AM

That Blazer is bad a$$. Great looking build.

iGreek · 11-03-2016, 05:08 PM

Got some higher quality screenshots off my phone of it

my56chevytruck · 11-03-2016, 05:47 PM

I've read all the posts concerning this blazer and it amazes me what some people are saying. Unlike some shows that argue with each other and all employees are degrading the all knowing boss. Dave Kindig is a genuine person, does get along with all his employees and employs some of the best and creative people in this hobby. This is a very good looking vehicle, has some of the best looking interior ever and the engine is one hell of a good looking beast. I give him a big

up!!

**jeffahart** · 11-08-2016, 09:03 PM

Real nice, I like it a lot, I would be proud of that work if I did it. And they do seem like nice guys, glad to hear they are.

But... here it comes! You can smoke a cigar in my truck... something had to be better about my truck... I'm just that way!!!

**SoCoC10** · 11-03-2016, 06:29 PM

Id take this one and keep the $60-65k in the bank.

66clow · 11-03-2016, 07:29 PM

I got to meet Dave, great guy. How can you be mad at him for selling his truck for 75k. Anyone of us selling a truck will take what we can get for it. I'm sure he has worked his butt off to get to where he is today. Building a truck with your hands it is impossible to make it perfect. There will be a flaw somewhere even if your the only one that knows it is there.

Overdriven · 11-03-2016, 08:05 PM

It's the internet folks. The place where your opinion can be heard by all and where people will take advantage of that. Honestly, I watch these shows with my father sometimes and we do the same thing some are doing in this thread. "I like what they did here" "I don't know if I like that there" "ugh what were they thinking doing that to that poor..."

This is one of the better car shows on tv and I like the cast. I commend all those involved in the show for ditching most of the fabricated reality car show bull excriment as well. They still do it now and then but it's more tolerable than most of the others. I also like the truck a lot. If I had to nit pick I hate how many leave the air filter out in the open on these engines. It looks unfinished, like they ran out of time, couldn't come up with a good idea for an airbox or just said "eh that's good enough". When I'm in that position with my own shop I'll allocate a couple hours to a guy to build an airbox. Now how do I get in that position with my own shop?

If you want to see an example of a truck that should be torn apart, check out some coverage of SEMA 2016.

Edit: I deleted the rest of the last paragraph where I detailed a "what did they do to that poor truck" moment. Decided better of singling out the truck.

**HeloCrewChief** · 11-03-2016, 08:26 PM

I actually love that shade of green. I think a classy touch was making the inner fenders satin in the engine compartment. Might have to steal that idea for a future build.
