Re: 71BlazerCST

pretty much the same as the day i got it. got a 69 shortbed 4WD in the shop now. just set the engine in recently and finishing up the mechanicals before going back with body parts. so i have done pretty much nothing with the blazer since bringing it home.
it is a very workable project. it needs rocker boxes and some rocker work. the floor pans are rough on the edges but solid. the bed floor and wheel wells look good as far as i could pull the rubber mat up. top is a goner. previous owner made fiberglass repairs with body filler and it has cracked just about everywhere.
the toughest part will be the rivet repairs. this guy trimmed the blazer inside and out with sheet aluminum, and attached with rivets...i mean like hundreds, maybe even thousands...LOL...the doors are in really good shape inside and out except for the rivet repairs that will be needed.
overall, considering what is there it was well worth what ia paid, plus it was on the way to the scrap yard....i have not committed to doing the project totally as i still have a ton of $$$ left on the 69 project. scott
