so i did some work to my blazer today.

started to work on my custom gauge cluster.

its going to be like this with nicer gauges.


i pulled this mess of useless wires out


working on the blazer in my schools shop. sooo nice.


gotta deal with this cancer.


started to clean up the engine bay.
i used the MSD wires from my brown truck for right now. it runs so much better.






pics of my blazer my buddy took.

Looking good! Find yourself a nice cowl hood and some third gen firebird air bolster seats and you are on your way

Sick, I love it. My buddy had a truck like that but was red when growing up and we had a ton of fun in it and it was fast as hell too.

thanks, i love min too. i raced my buddys 97 VW GTI with a vr6, he ran a 14.9 at the track. i was dead even with him through second until my truck started to surge. i think its fuel or spark related. my blazer isnt that fast but its cheap

the heater core on a first gen isn't too bad. it is not fun but it is doable
