Thanks guys!
Upholsterer called to let me know the panels will be done tomorrow so he's planning to bring them over and install tomorrow....hopefully...

now I just need to track down my outer and inner grille and passenger door handle and get the painter over this week to wet sand and buff the paint and it'll be done.

Thanks guys...ask and you shall receive

Took a couple pics as it sits today...put the center caps on...waiting on the rings until I get the tires cleaned up.

srea76 · 08-16-2010, 10:49 PM

Love it. If I win the lottery I will buy it..lol

Cole Trickle · 08-17-2010, 04:43 PM

Looks great...Good job

Out of curiosity what kind of price do you think it will fetch when its done? My dad is looing at nice jeeps right now and I told him something like this would be alot cooler.

He asked how much and I couldn't even guess...lol

I will be posting it for sale here this evening. I am still determining the final price but I know I am going to sell it cheaper here than I will on ebay/craigslist.

VA72C10 · 08-17-2010, 06:31 PM

Part of my figuring a price has been on the investment that's been put into this as well as the current market trends...
I have a spreadsheet with the previous owner's receipts and mine added.....
(THE PO Put a LOT of money into this Blazer)

NOT INCLUDING LABOR

Total Investment $27,075.16

It will be listed for much less than that so someone will get an AWESOME blazer at a GREAT price!

oldblue1968chevy · 08-17-2010, 09:05 PM

wow it turned out nice i do really like the color. Good job man! Whats next i forgot lol

VA72C10 · 08-17-2010, 11:33 PM

Well, it's almost 100% finished and it's up for sale....
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/c...p?product=4624

Have to button up a few more loose ends but i'm ready to advertise it to start gauging the market for it. Going to list it here first and then will list on craigslist/ebay/ebay.ca/kiiji, etc once it's 100% finished.

Here are the pictures from this evening....

door jamb info...

nice and straight

VA72C10 · 08-17-2010, 11:35 PM

Finally got the grille and mocked it up. Found a new inner locally...still waiting on the one I ordered...

Picture of the custom covered sunvisors (covered to match the seats)

and the seatbelts

VA72C10 · 08-17-2010, 11:36 PM

Finally got the door and rear panels right and installed

Really really happy how the interior turned out....

VA72C10 · 08-17-2010, 11:37 PM

and the dash area with the glovebox emblem and sunvisors on...

hgs_notes · 08-17-2010, 11:55 PM

For as nice as this one is, the originality of the truck as a whole, and the quality of the work to bring it to this point, that is a good price. I hope you get that or more. I know if I was in the market, I'd be giving you a ring.

Seems like beyond a fair price considering the condition and work that went into it.

That could easily cost someone with out DIY skills or hookups 30-40K to complete

70k52wd · 08-19-2010, 03:22 PM

You did a real nice job on this. The next owner will be pleased, especially at that price.

I figured you put more than 13k into after initial purchase price. I can only dream myself, but someone should pick this up, and quick!!!

Redneck72 · 08-20-2010, 08:11 AM

Have been busy, lately and this is the first time I have gotten a chance to get on line...but wow...thanks for the outside pics...that thing looks awesome... it really does. Kudos to you and your attention to detail...Gratz.

I agree, that truck looks like it originated in So Cal

I sold my heap for what I consider top dollar.

You should have nooooo problem selling that bad boy for the asking price

VA72C10 · 08-23-2010, 11:44 PM

Thanks guys. Have three interested right now. Everyone's waiting for it to be 100% finished which I understand....but it's going to go to the first one with cash.

Got the main weatherstrip on the top and the top installed. Still have to put on the hatch and do the weatherstrip around the door glass.

I liked this shot out in the driveway with the under dash lights on....

Weatherstrip taped up while it dried...

And the top is on...looks really good with the top but I still like it more with it off

And the temporary rear hatch
