I have to admit
I'm addicted. I just found myself browsing craigslist for another 70-72 Blazer/Jimmy or maybe a pickup...
Love my 72 GMC jimmy. The truck is sitting pretty in the garage but covid is making me itch for a project... my current truck was a frame-off, do everything right kind of deal. I'm thinking maybe restomod, go all modern but make it look classic. I like the idea of building a nice daily driver type of blazer. I don't take my Jimmy to the grocery store, i'm too nervous about a ding on the door. So now i'm day dreaming, maybe going fuel injection or all out with an LS swap? Maybe modern suspension? Remove the top and go bikini top all the time? Some cool and unique rims? A completely digital dash? Maybe dark gray or gunmetal gray with blackout badges? I'm daydreaming.... Winter is coming and i doubt i'll do a project this year, but its so tempting to think about it. Then again the new Ford Bronco is also looking pretty tempting as a daily driver.... |

Yep...I know exactly what you mean.
I finished the '72 Jimmy, and want to use it as my daily driver. Unfortunately, I'm too worried about leaving it anywhere! I already had our '62 Corvette stolen while in Monterey (I did get it back), and as valuable as these have become, it makes it difficult to use for a daily driver. I have been driving my '72 K10 stepper, and it runs pretty darn good. Has 108,000 original miles. I want to start on that coming up here, but it's pretty cool just to drive as is, and not have the worry. Good luck on your search for a new project! Pat |

I ask, as it's hugely popular and people visit from all over. We're just above Placerville. Anyway, let me know if you get up here sometime. Pat |

Re: I have to admit
I'm a big fan of das brew in Fremont, near the Tesla factory.
Great parking and rarely super busy. They run popup beer and food in the parking lot on weekends.i haven't been there since covid started but I think it would be a fun place for an informal get together. https://www.dasbrewinc.com/home. Ah, never mind they are only open in the evenings. I prefer to look at trucks in daylight... |
