Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off

Brad, your build was impeccable to say the least and I'm a little sadden to see you let that beautiful restored K5 go, but I understand you have to do what you feel is best. Just make sure it goes to a worthy owner who will appreciate the hard work that went into this. As much money as I think you have wrapped up in this, I hope you make out on your end or at least break even.

Good luck! I'll be watching

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off

Saw the ad...shows well and is hands down the best one to come across Ebay in a very long time.

Good luck with the sale and future projects!

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off

I will think of you and your beautiful Blazer every time I consult my jack instruction decal.

Seriously, I hope the auction is a bellweather for the 1969-72s. I don't think it is the majority opinion here but I believe they deserve to sell for much more $$$s than they have to date. Maybe you can push the market for those of us who feel that way.

Good luck and thanks for sharing your restoration journey with us.

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off

What an amazing build and great experience! You have done an absolutely great job and own probably the nicest blazer on the planet! I'm proud to have been able to play a small part in your build!

Thanks Jeff, that means a lot. One of the fun-est parts was your help building that very St. Louis-y SPID. I wonder how many people are looking at that pic on eBay and thinking "A50 and Z84 shouldn't be in the same SPID!"....and then I smugly think, I know chipflyer...and they don't know CHIP!
