Kinda cool, but I wish you had made it.

Random K5 Google search for something (as you do during times like this ;)) and a YouTube video of our Blazer pops up---that I did not make nor have knowledge of. A YouTube channel called Hand Built Cars harvested our pics and made a (32 min!) slide show. I have actually watched some of their build videos before thinking they were posted by the builders. It's kind of surreal.

...anyway I guess our posted pics are for grabs. Here's the link:

I'm about to go see if any other build threads from the board have been picked up. This is crazy. Be safe out there.
so, what did I publicly address, my name is in the comments

Oh my...Bring A Trailer is haunting me right now. It is Halloween I guess.

...still not a fan of the anodized grill change. Prefer the black letters and stripes. Chassis could use a detail...but on balance not terrible. I sold it five years ago with 200 miles on it (and a 350), so she's only done 226 since (and less on the LS). I guess we'll get to see the market on it now.

(EDIT: And they linked the cut and paste YouTube video! :lol:)

Crazy to think it has crisscrossed the US from MT to GA to CA then landed in Canada. Still looks great!

Too late to buy this Blazer?

The before & after are rich, you probably miss the 5-6 washers on the cowl panel most. Looked familiar, though you have mine beat. I'm still two on the RH side:lol:

So much to like about that truck, the body/trim lines are nuts for starts.

She's been sold twice since I let her go. So...probably never too late. With regard to the shut lines....always felt like she was in at least one roll over. Probably where she lost the original top. :lol:

I thought perhaps the old guy swiped his camper mirrors on the RH side my project. Nope, T-boned & bent pillar. My friend who is painting it called it something effect of classic auto-body forensics after seeing where they flamed the cab underside:lol: That side was a mess though they did a nice job cab & rocker with luck.

How did you reduce your cowl panel from 5-6 shim washers to none? I mentioned mine unfortunately takes 3/16", which is the side that was swiped. Otherwise the panel is good. It hasn't been painted yet, might be an option to change it. Too late to change the cab.

Some of the problem came out just in metal repair, body mounts, squaring things up, etc. But to get all of it out and not stare at a stack, Eric employed a cheat code of sorts. He removed and repositioned the cowl bracket itself so that it extended further. If you look closer on the inboard side, the repositioned bracket is down about 1/4" relative to the front cowl lip.

No one would ever know except him and me.....and now maybe whoever reads this post ;).

Crafty. I may have to steal this idea...

Right, I didn't see it - nifty idea.

I totally missed it, but the old girl hit the block again last year. You can see how I might have overlooked it. Certainly not my cup of tea...but then again somebody else is buying the bags. Still less than 700 miles on her at the time of the auction. Barrett-Jackson seems to be the one cashing in the most.

Those wheels are worse than the often used '80's Rallys.:lol:

This is an example why you don't mess with perfection. Everything they have done to this has been a downgrade..
