blazer is sitting in the garage, got posi rearend, lowered 5" in the front, 3" in the rear. i got a 383sbc with a th400 tranny waiting to go in. just gathering up all the parts. pretty much everything on this blazer is new. i got over 7000 into it.
current wheels/winter beater
Image
99 z24 cavalier. on its 3rd motor. got no spare tire or jack, no a/c components at all (less weight), cold air intake, straight pipe and some bad ass winter tires. i love this little beast. 7" touch screen in-dash head unit, 2 alpine type s 10" in the trunk with a 3000 watt amp pushin them. my neighbors still love me :D
last time i blew it up, put a hole through both sides of the block. if you look close you can see a piston rod
Image
didnt know if i was gonna fix it or not so i bought a truck... 2000 s10 extreme with lots of extras
Image
Image
Image
came with 20's on brand new tires, a brand new cowl induction hood that was for 1st gen s10, hypertech chip, cold air k&n intake, full posi rear end, 2 15's in a custom box, mids tweets and highs in the dash and doors with a 900 watt amp just for those (hurts
the ears) 3000 watt amp on the subs. seperate equalizer, 2 batteries, 2 stinger caps. waiting for spring.
i have another cavalier, 2000 4dr green. biggest pile of sh@t i ever driven. it was my sisters, she bought it for 400, and i have been paying her phone bill so she gave it to me. been in 3 accidents (not me, the car :p) its got new brakes all around and a good exhaust which ill be putting on my moms cavalier.
i finished my first year of body work aka "auto body collision repairer" , i made this mini fender while i was there as a class project, we each made our own
Image
Image
i got 100% on my final paint job :) skills.
2 more years to go yet, going back in sept.
well i think thats all the bregging i can think of for today.
i was honestly thinking of buying another stro, but the truck is sweet, and my gf said no to the van :( she just dont know what they can do.

Glad to see you are learning a great skill! The blazer is looking good. Not my choice of paint scheme but it isn't mine! :yawinkle: Looks clean from what it was. Tell your GF, the Astro has more room to mess around, I mean go camping in! :muhaha:
