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

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.

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.

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...:alc:

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.
