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.

HuggerCST · 10-25-2009, 03:56 PM

Sounds awesome! I bet that fired him up.

Long Roof · 10-25-2009, 05:21 PM

Sounds great!

**Ron 586** · 10-27-2009, 02:53 PM

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.

Go Craig Go!!!

I've seen & heard that beast run, it's a sweet engine!

swyfor5 · 10-27-2009, 07:12 PM

Sounds real good! Thank's, gotta love those videos!

darkhorse970 · 10-27-2009, 07:21 PM

VERY COOL! Sounds great!

vtblazer · 10-29-2009, 06:54 AM

Okay Ron, you wanted props...you got em, now we want more pics!!

Think I can talk him into running the highways to Moab with us next year?

**lks dcvn** · 10-29-2009, 08:45 AM

This has been a long journey - nice to see it finally come together for you Craig.

Did you already go on the maiden voyage with it yet?

Looks real good. I like both the before and after.

Most excellent!

**Ron 586** · 11-19-2009, 07:18 AM

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.

darkhorse970 · 11-19-2009, 07:29 AM

Looks great Luv! I really like the half top on a 2 wheel drive, never see that before.
