Sharp Blazer. That interior looks very nice. You did a great job. I think you did the right thing going with the dull paint. The only ones that I ever see shiny are at a car show. I sometimes get a wild hair and wax the rust on my Jeep, but I am not normal!

Ken you did it again my friend....I had a old 1976 Blazer that was all built up.. Holly high rise intake manifold... big quad carb... Headers, etc...It would pass everything on the road...But a gas station!! When Gas hit a $1.00 a gallon in 1977 and we sat in long lines on odd & even gas days..I got rid of it!With that big 30 gal tank and getting 6 miles per gallon on the highway and 3 miles to the gallon off roading.. I sold it for $5,000 and bought a VW Van for me and the wife & kid's....It was the Camper and we went everywhere in that thing..Even places we went in the Blazer too.. I'd let the air out of the tires to 15 pounds of air and off across the sand we'd go. This one reminds me of all the good times we had in it...lots of fun story's... but not on here... ha,ha....Now I drive a 1999 Dodge Quad cab 4X4 with the cummins diesel engine and it has a 38 gallon tank and I'm paying $3.30 a gal for fuel... But now I'm getting 20 miles per gallion on or off road... I bought it when it was brand new and diesel fuel was still a $1.25 plus ...I still love those 4X4's, but wish I had a VW Van again now days....! ha,ha...

Thanks for the fun memories this model brings back to me...I need to build one of these.. ha,ha...
Yea, I do...."RC"...
