Imagine being in a riceburner and seeing that in your rear view mirror! NICE!

I can hear the guy now 'Well, I was just driving along and looked in my mirror and there he was, scared me so bad I actually peed a little.'

Big J · 04-04-2007, 11:29 AM

Welcome to the board.... That is a big K5. Looks good. Bet you can hear those tires from several blocks away.....

bouncytruck · 04-04-2007, 11:32 AM

Looks nice. I see you shaved the door handles and side markers. What else is planned?

Chris27 · 04-04-2007, 03:01 PM

thanx a lot everybody.....well i'll break it down a lil bit well my blazer is my big lil toy
- it was 14 in lift just added 4 more on front springs and made my own rear flip kit so now im at 18in of lift.... 15 suspen no block and 3 body
- 44 in boggers
-14 bolt ff 513 gears with detroit locker
- dana 60 king pin 513 gears detroit electrac
- cross over steering setup now
- only have 350 for now but want to build a 400 small block
- 700r i just put it in to drive a round as comfortable as possible and have some fun when needed
i just used the spacer used from converting from 350 turbo to 700r its a spacer with a width of 1 3/4in ..... it mates right up to the 205
- i shaved pretty much everything i could
- now i just need to do a lil body work and add some color
