Re: '75 in Funky Color

A true diamond in the rough! I had suspicions on the interior....not sure how hard the green will be to match up? Keep us posted on the progress!

Re: '75 in Funky Color

It's kind of funny about the green because I happen to have some green door panels of this vintage.
I was going to put this on the back burner for a while and finish up some other projects but with my daughter's prodding I may pull it ahead.
Since I'll be pulling the fiberglass top off of this I will now have two of these full tops (I have a '73 too) that I'll have to store. I'm thinking about chopping the front of this top off about 6 inches behind where it bolts up to the windshield frame in order to use it to attach soft to snaps. I'm just a little leery of killing a hard top even if this one needs a little work.

Re: '75 in Funky Color

I once bought some parts from a guy with a '76 the same color. It had a green interior too.

Please don't cut up the top.

I just don't know what to do with it. I'm already storing tops from a '72, '73 and a '79. This would be the second one from a '73-'75 that at this point in my life I never see putting back on. I hate to ruin useable parts but the issue is being in the rust belt the full top Blazers are pretty rare so me finding someone in a reasonable driving distance that needs this is probably unlikely.
You have me thinking though....I'll list it on here and CL before I'll do anything drastic.
FWIW I don't want this turning into an "I want the top" thread.

Re: '75 in Funky Color

They are definitely cumbersome to store, and I've never dealt with the full vert tops.
