Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way

I like that setup....

I know you have a few projects but here's a blazer near my house for sale... Guy was looking for around $900, I would love to build a trail rig but i'm knee deep in mine and no place to house another toy.

This one is a keeper, building it for ME, MYSELF and I.

Acquiring this one now also allows for the flip blazer to happen too.

OOOOOk I thought this was the one you were flippin'. Now I see why your going the extra mile.... Cage and all... I bet it will ride real nice with those tires and springs. You should get a set of those nice metal finished Bilstein shocks for it..... They look cool. Not sure how they ride though.

Body will come back off, the P/O stripped it bare metal and it has since flashed over.

Not a restoration , not even close.
It will be over built, not stock, just a classic 1st gen body...from there it's all fair game.

Great, I can't wait to see some more progress. Powdercoat the frame or just regular old rattle can??
