September Blazer of the Month

Here's the scoop...
It's a 1971 CST Blazer 4x4 that had well over 100k on it when I got ahold of it. I bought it on sept/24/04 - almost our 1st year anniversary.

I found it on collectorcar.com and thought being it was in AZ, it would be way more rust free than anything I could find locally here in New England.

I flew out and drove it back here to VT. What a trip that was...drove as much of old route 66 as I could time permitting.

The frame was excellent so my priorities went to the body.
This supposed to be rust free blazer ended up needing, both outer rockers, pass inner rocker, pass front and rear door pillars, total drivers side front pillar and a small amount of floor repair...

I decided to go with the factory color, med olive green after much consideration but I thought having the stock color might be kinda cool/retro

So here it is...my first real attempt at a restoration project.

I'll post a couple pics of when I brought it home up to current stuff.

Being a newbie in comparison to some, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank those who have helped answer all my questions and more...lots more!
Great bunch, great site, thanks.
