Build story

I had as a Blazer for years With my two young sons and would cruise , go to shows and the drags , I had just switched to turbos from centrifugal supercharger when I broke my back on my dirt bike and became a Paraplegic so I modified it so I could drive it and load wheelchair by myself , I’m in my late fifties and always loved hot rods / bikes and originally my goal was to be faster than a supercharged Viper when it started sixteen years ago and have a sleeper Blazer . I had done majority of it myself before injured other than body and paint / engine build but now I have smaller input and big help from friends and rest I hired out .
