Looks great man, nice work.

Evan68chevy · 07-13-2011, 07:56 PM

Very nice blazer! really like all that you have done. Quick question for you. I am doing the same conversion on the clutch master cylinder and pedal. I was wondering how you came to the location where to conect the rod from the master cylinder to the clutch pedal. I have a 3/4 bore wilwood cylinder also and just want to make sure I mount it up correctly. Any help would be appreciated thank you

mcbassin · 07-13-2011, 10:28 PM

I missed the patriotic pics on the 4th. Man, your Blazer turned out amazing! I love the paint, wheels and everything. First class all the way. More pictures please.

thirdstreettito · 12-04-2011, 08:48 AM

Needs a video! How do you like the NV4500/5.3?

72truckman · 01-17-2012, 04:13 AM

Neglected the Blazer since summer, finally had some time for much needed maintenance and upgrades!!

New Soft Topper:

Working on rear side panels (one side housing a 12" subwoofer, the being lockable storage):

More to come!

jstplyn331 · 02-08-2012, 03:31 PM

Gotta say I have been watching your thread for a while and it is very impressive. I love seeing people go outside the box and make it happen.

Nice Build. Hope mine comes out as nice.

Classic383 · 04-12-2012, 12:31 AM

WOW, Great Build man!

ner0 · 04-23-2012, 08:17 AM

Hey man where did you get yuor soft topper?

mcbassin · 04-23-2012, 08:24 AM

It just keeps getting better!

72truckman · 05-15-2012, 03:18 AM

Thanks everyone! The soft top is from Softopper out of Boulder, CO.

This is from a surprise party in late April for one of my good Marine buddies homecoming from Afghanistan- complete with new hidden flag mounts behind the rear bumper and soft top sides rolled up for keg access...

fxdxharley · 05-15-2012, 12:10 PM

Great build. What are you getting for mpg on the E85? also what did you use for a gas filler door? i like the small size of it, blends in nice.
