If there is fabrication to be done, thats fine. I have the tools necessary to complete the task. That's what makes it fun...

The Blazer started as a Space Blue Metallic Blazer Xtreme w/4.3L which I bought new. It got rear ended and was pretty bent up. I had the frame straightened and then shaved the gas filler, hood squirters, rear tailgate, 3rd brake light, and added the roll pan. I painted it with HOK Orion Silver then went with a pearl blue intercoat before adding 5 coats of clear. I had almost 40 hrs in wetsanding and polishing to ensure a straight mirro finish. I left the door handles so it would pass tech. at the local drag strip. I pulled the 4.3L out and built a 400+ hp 350ci with a Turbo 350 Trans w/3500 Stall. Also removed the rear leafs and fabricated a 2 link bag set up. With that set up it HOOKed up at the track. Also added a 125hp Nitrous Express Plate set up, but never really used it.... It was able to lay frame. It won numerous local shows and took 1st, twice at the Detroit Autorama in its class. It was far from a dailey driver though. No AC, Windshield wiper, power steering, front runners, and drag radials. But it was damn fun to drive on the street. Easily could eat most street mustangs. I really miss that truck:whymewhyme: I had well over $40k wrapped up in it and sold it for $13.5k. You don't get into this hobby looking to make money that is for sure......... I have no plans of getting that carried away on the suburban, but you never know

Wow, 40hrs into the wetsanding, bet your hands were raw. Def. shows in those pics, looks really clean. I didnt think it still have the V6 in it, lol. I bet that thing was fun to drive, especially beating alot at the lights, then laying frame... thats just awesome. Well it looks really good.

Yep, fixing up anything, you dont ever get your money back from it. Thats what sucks, but hey we all got to be different, cant all be driving the same burban, or hoe around. But if you lay the burban, now that would be cool to..

Well welcome aboard again..
