Project "It's a Jimmy Thing"
After a year of working on this thing i am finally going to start a build thread! After looking for a blazer for 6 months i found this Jimmy in Colorado on craigs list. I went to pick it up and was impressed with the condition for what i paid. Just rust in the typical places like rockers, B-pillar area and the back of the bed on both sides. My avatar picture is when i just picked it up and was on my way home with it. The plan is to be a real nice driver with a 5.3 and 4l60e. Here is where i am at today with it. I fixed all of the rust last summer and have been working on the frame and engine all winter and blasted the body a couple of weeks ago. After i blasted it i dropped it off to my body guy for epoxy primer and to paint the dash and fire wall. I plan on putting raptor liner on the underside of the tub and anywhere there is going to be carpet on the top side this week end. The first picture is when i loaded it up to take it to blast (that sucked by the way). The second picture is when i dropped it off at the painter. The third picture is when i brought it back home and the last picture is where its going to end up.
