Thanks Bill.




Once out the paint shop, the next step was to hide the Blazer in plain sight.





This would be followed by lights and further details being added.



I really like this shot.



At this point I was travelling around the USA with Craig, Dennis and Adam on the 2019 road trip.

After Dennis and Adam flew out from Tulsa, we carried on and eventually made it back to St Louis.

One of our touch points had to be Going back to Hannibal to go see our friend the 100 year old shop keeper.
Sadly, she had fallen during the preceding year and broken a hip, then sold her shop, and we missed out on her.

On the way back we stopped at a local Walmart to look for a small Chevy truck for Craig..........


Suddenly he called me on WhatsApp, I was in a different part of the shop, so went to where he was in the toy section.


Look at what he found.


$20.00





Chuffed a heck !!!




So.......




The Blazer ended up in a new series of Netflix





And of course it’s spawned Lego models.








And that concludes the evolution of “Not a Project”



Much fun for not a lot of cash.



Hope you guys liked it.
