Re: My 74 K5 Blazer

That's a great rig. It seems like the perfect candidate for a transition from beater to sweet driver. Whenever you uncover some of the original paint, maybe you can get it matched and slowly switch panels back over. I'll bet you can carefully sand off that black paint a little bit of time with like 1500 grit wet sandpaper. Maybe start with 2000 grit, but that many kind of be slow. 1000 grit, actually takes off an appreciable amount of paint in a short amount of time.. I think it looks cool now, but overall proportions and drivability would probably better at the 2 inch lift level if you can get the front evened out with the back. It's cool that you saved it, and looks like a rig that would be worth holding on to and making nice a little at a time.
