Completely restored 71 Blazer

Weve had this rig since new....(in the family anyway). First my uncle had it, then sold it to my dad, I drove it and wheeled it all through HS,
and it got so rusty and beat up finally, my dad and I started restoring it.

Every single solitary piece taken apart on the garage floor....sanded, repainted, fixed.

Paint changes colors in different lights etc...under carriage is rhino lined as well as the rockers. Pics dont really do it justice.
Thought everyone would like to see a little of it

Awesome 71 dude! Starting a resto on my 70 and I agree, I want some things completly original, but some things are way better modified. Am looking for cage ideas also, so if you run across any send em my way. K5 to stay alive!
