Re: 1971 K5 CST Blazer ..... Tumbleweed
Really clean chassis and starting point. Did you go with the same white/white combo for paint? Looking forward to her release from prison.

Re: 1971 K5 CST Blazer ..... Tumbleweed
Far, far better coverage than what the factory ever did. At best, they originally had primer with body color misted on the floors and rocker boxes, then heavy sound deadening schutz was applied to the wheel houses and rocker boxes.
Great job!

Re: 1971 K5 CST Blazer ..... Tumbleweed
Paint is popping! That undercarriage is crisp. Excited to see the rockers and other areas after repair.

Re: 1971 K5 CST Blazer ..... Tumbleweed
UPDATE...... well after the red/orange paint was applied to firewall and under body, i decided to change color... yea.. PAINTER WAS VERY UPSET. but after i gave him more money he settled down. lol. .. i decided on Hugger orange. i really like the hugger orange! and at 68 yrs old this might be my last restoration? getting arthritis in hands and knees. And just want to Enjoy this one! the interior is going black with the scrolls inlay. all 3 seats are done! they were stripped down. blasted, and re-welded for strength in the right places, then the frames were powder coated gloss black, re assembled, all new foam, and re covered in new black covers. The factory seats were much more expensive to build than i budgeted for! OUCH, but im very pleased with the restoration of the factory seats. i found all seat factory brackets except the rear seat front tubular brackets. (still looking). i had the seat brackets powder coated gloss black. now a little more fine tuning on the body prep and then paint interior and exterior. painter promised done by Christmas! YEAH! well we will see?
