1979 K5 Blazer (Jimmy) Restoration
This restoration has been in progress for a while. It was originally owned by a pastor in New Mexico and was bought by PBC with only 90k original miles.
When we got it to the shop, we stripped it down to bare metal and removed all the old moldings, giving it a cleaner look. We also cleaned underneath the Blazer and added a new chassis black with undercoat. We also went with a stainless steel dual exhaust.
It has had a tune up and oil change, front end cleaned and brakes were redone as well.
It has a brand new dash, all new interior fabric (including the carpet) and a 400 small block engine.
