Project Yenko C5 Blazer comes together.
This weekend was Luv's 5th annual meet and greet. We put the GQ sheet metal on his powder coated 2wd frame and wired up and fired the engine for the first time since it was pulled at last years meet. Here is a sound clip. Click on arrow at bottom left of video to play.
The glare on the windshield didn't let his mile wide grin show through. Getting closer.

Re: Project Yenko C5 Blazer comes together.
162 looks and only 2 replies. I expected more from the Blazer crowd. This has been a long hard (expensive) road for Craig. I'm sure he'd appreciate the props.

Re: Project Yenko C5 Blazer comes together.
It is well worth the watch IMHO. I'm glad to see the project reach a point of enjoyment for Craig. Now to get busy on mine.
