i like that Blazer!! that was built by Fesler who built a high dollar red 67 truck also. They do good work, but very pricey. That blaxer is really nice, the chop is just wher i would want it.

Re: Check This Out!

The Blazer flat moved through the course w/minimal fuss (I was glad to see it too). But I just flat-out can't stand the rear of the body being lower than the front & that's the way it moved around the grounds all weekend.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I agree kind of makes me think of a gocart with the rear view going thru the curves. That said it is one heck of a nice ride

I saw it at goodguys in Des Moines Iowa the rear has to look goofey cause if they make the front any lower it hits the fenders . I saw it aired out and the tires were hitting the fenders bad . I didn't care for it even though it's a high dollar build .

To each his own . . .... But what about not dropping the rear past the point of being level w/the front? It's pretty freakin low even when it's level w/the front so there's not much need in dropping only the back half.
