Meaning Behind the Name
This Project has been Going on so Long that Other Things have Popped Up and Made Me Loose Sight of the End Project. So, One Year for Christmas My Brother had a Rendering Done of the Blazer and that was the Name Above it. He said Every Time I Spent Money on Something Else the Longer the Project Would be on Hold.

Vehicle history
I Sold My S-10 that I had Built from the Ground Up and Wanted to Build a Blazer, but I Wanted to Build Something that had Not Been Done Before and I had Seen a 4-Door Traditional Bd Years Before on 17s and it Looked Sick. I Wanted to Make Everything Very Hard so that Most People Would Not Try and Do the Same as My Truck. I Started Looking, and About a Week into the Search I Found the Truck on Auto Trader in Florida. I Contacted the Owner and Asked for Some More Pics and Info. After a Few Days of Talking we Came to an Agreement on a Price. I Sent Them a Deposit for the Vehicle and Said I Would Look for Plane Tickets. I got Tickets, Flew Down There, Stayed for a Week Vacation and Drove it Directly to Kentucky to Meet My Brother and Friends at a Show. After Driving the Truck for the Summer, We Began to Tear Into it and it has Been in My Shop Un-driveable Since 2003.
