I will be working on it today so I will try to get a pic or 2. I have already got the interior out to pull the carpet. Well after pulling the carpet I found a few rust holes. So its patch:30.

Welcome from another new guy. Nice looking Blazer and the color looks great too! I had an 87 and it was a two-tone blue and was very dependable.

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah I picked up the blazer for a steal to find cut corners and what not. Do I regret it? Not a chance. I love the term built not bought! Guess I should start a build thread and snap pics. It is about to get a fresh set of 4.56 and a 6" suspension and ditching the body lift. Also gonna rig up 110 power and onboard air on a budget. I am trying to build as much as possible with as little as I can.
