Not yet but have been checking the website daily. I am hoping to hear back any day now because rumors are there are only three people left and I am one of them for the job.

So close! I bet its digging at you to find out.

Back to the blazer. Really hoping something comes through for that too!! Really would suck to scrap such hard work already. I'll be thinking of a way now for the pedals to work! Lol

Got the rear end together and started the frame yesterday. I will update with more pictures later today but was excited to share.

I must say, that's the nicest rear end I've seen on a blazer!

I like the transaxle build. Makes for a nice weight distribution.

Looking forward to finish my Alfa Romeo.

Forgot to take pictures of the frame I started but hopefully will get to work on it some more this weekend and will get some pictures. I have the torque box tacked together and would like to get the whole rear section tacked up this next weekend also. Still thinking about how I want to attach the frame to the body because I want it to bolt together for future upgrades and maintenance.

Got a little done over the last couple weeks. Started on the frame and slowly getting everything figured out.

Then got a little side tracked and tried my TBSS at an autocross and it did a lot better than expected.

The TBSS is fun but can't wait to get the Blazer done and race it! It was a very bad idea to take the TBSS because I haven't done any kind of racing in about 9 years and now have the bug back. lol
I think I have something figured out for the front but doing all the back first while thinking about the front. Thoughts are once the back is done committed to making the front work somehow no matter what.
Also anyone wondering I turned the school district job down. Might be headed a better direction with the company I have worked for for the last 17 years without such a pay cut.
