dude this is going to be a crazy sleeper. What are you doing for your clutch pedal assembly? 5-speed s10/blazer parts?

yeah i'm going to run the blazer 5 speed pedal assembly. I found a set of pedal covers from GM for a corvette that i think will look awesome! I don't know about this bein a sleeper because its going to be loud as all hell but i think it will def catch some people off gaurd.

The corvette covers would tie it together nicely. Any thought in swapping the guage cluster from the 5speed? That way you eliminate the automatic gear selection

Where exactly will this blazer be located? I am going with my fiancee on a nice road trip this summer... and if you got it finished? Care if a fellow blazer forum member drops by?

My blazer had the floor shifter so no need for the cluster change. I want to see if i can get a place that rebuilds clusters to recalibrate the stock gauges and get a custom face made that goes to 8,000rpm and runs out to 200mph. I found a place on the internet called southern electronics that rebuild the gauge clusters but i want to see if they can do it.
