Vehicle Description
This custom 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer underwent an extensive
frame-off, nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration, donning a custom
badging of "Build No. 26" for the process. Power comes from a
brand-new fuel-injected BluePrint 350/346hp V8 crate engine paired
with a 3-speed automatic transmission, along with a fully rebuilt
and detailed NP205 4x4 transfer case. A detailed restoration
process took place under the hood as well, including a new smooth
firewall, CVF serpentine belt system, Cerakote Burnt Bronze
headers, new 2.5-inch MagnaFlow exhaust and a brand-new American
Autowire wiring harness, with most of the wiring hidden. It also
features an all-new 5-inch lift with bushings and bolts, as well as
a custom-built driveshaft with sandblasted 6-lug axles. With the
chassis and body completely torn down, the chassis was
powder-coated in Gloss Black. The body had rust repairs completed,
was epoxy-primed and worked all the way through until it was
finished in two-tone Exotic Sky Blue and Creme Br�lee, along with
five layers of clearcoat. The body was wet-sanded and polished, and
all-new bushings and hardware were used to mount it to the chassis.
The inside of the body was then sprayed in a RAPTOR Liner to
prevent sound/heat transfer, along with an additional layer of
Kilmat used completely on the interior and inside the doors. The
restoration also consisted of all-new smoked Euro Grey glass,
rubber, felts, bumpers and grille shell, chrome and trim. The
custom interior by Burton Upholstery is done in a traditional but
retro style and features a blue-on-blue theme with Highlander
inserts on the custom-bolstered seats, navy blue plush carpet and a
color-matched center console. The interior also features a new Gen
V Vintage Air system, a dash cluster equipped with a tachometer, a
tilt column with a column shifter, a retro-style stereo and a
"Tailgate Party" seat in the rear with cup holders. This custom
Blazer rolls on Budnik wheels. ** PREVIEW
