Paint & Body For Blazers/Jimmys

Wanted to put out an F.Y.I. to Blazer/Jimmy owners.

There's now a body shop open that dedicates itself to old iron, 67-72 chevy trucks specifically. (69-72 blazer's/Jimmy's)

The body shop has been in business for 30 years in the same location but it's been decided to make a change and that brings the new focus to our trucks.

Located in central VT.
Pick up and delivery is available.

Progress will be digitally recorded to allow the vehicle owners to follow along.

Re: Paint & Body For Blazers/Jimmys

We should be able to match any color to date if given the paint code.

This new venture for me will be two fold, rolling both my current passions into one business.
1st is the body shop specializing in these old trucks and 2nd is another shop that will be offering custom fab work for 4x4's.

Tube doors for 1st gens in on the top of the list.
Otherwise we'll be doing custom bumpers, skid plates, rock sliders, tire carriers, axles, lockers, lift kit installs...etc.

Also offering, plasma cutting, welding and custom tube bending.

Sweet - will be eager to see your prototype. Course my K5 isn't running, but some day it will be and tube doors would be pretty cool. Have to keep that in mind.

I wish you the best of luck with this venture!!!!

Ya know, just modify "truck" to "trunk" and yank a certain word from that above sentence and get a whole new meaning
