Hey guys/galls! I just bought a 89 blazer!!! WOOT!!! Its going to be my fish'n and beat'n truck!! yeah i couldn't more excited!!! I got is for 700 bucks and all it needed was a fuel pump. Well, needs a paint job too but that can wait tell spring. A little about me i'm a serious weekend mechanic that has built 3 track cars one for 1/4mile and two for auto-cross.

This is my first ever american car and first ever truck and i couldn't be happier to have it sitting next to the other cars in my auto family. It's name is mater i normally don't name my cars but the previous owner had vanity plates "Mater" on it so i have no choice with my girlfriend having seen them and all. Anyhow WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!

 

welcome,im new here myself but the people seem really nice to and cool..so welcome fellow newbie

 

Welcome fellow newb. Great find, and perfect vehicle for what you'll use it for. Personally I wouldnt bother with a paint job on a beater. Having paint that's already pretty rough adds a nice element of freedom when it comes time to plow somthing you normally wouldnt.

So how about a little about these 3 track cars?

The track cars..

Well i got my 300zx Twinturbo i've got a pic in my profile, it put down 540RWHP @ 24psi and ran an 11.2 in vegas.

I was part of a team that built a Subaru wrx sti that pushed 650whp @ 32psi and an 400 whp sti for the autocross out here in Utah. I'll find some pics to post in my profile of those.
