Ride Details
What was the inspiration?
I bought the project from another person. The vehicle was started back in 2003 by Little Shop of Horrors. After being on the cover of MiniTruckin the orginal owner lost interest and decided to move on. Eric from Little Shop stored the vehicle till eventually selling it. Long story short I ended up with it to complete it. I always wanted to see it finished but no one was able to complete it.
How long did it take you to build?
I did the body work that needed done inside and all the interior work blocked all the old paint off the exterior and fixed what body work needed done on the outside. Wired everything and installed motor in about 100 days
How long have you been building?
Ive been into the mini truck scene for about 12 years now or more.
Your future plans?
I would like to do either a 63-67 Lincoln continental or a new body style fullsize silverado bagged and bodied
Thanks to
I would like to thank my wife Amanda for putting up with no seeing me for hours on end while in the garage finishing this thing up and helping me when I needed a second hand, my kids for giving me their input on things that they liked and giving me drive to finish it, Marcus for the help on body work, Scott for the help laying the designs out on the blazer for paint, my parents for letting me work on this thing in their garage, JD for stitching up the interior and a months time, and anyone else involved that helped out, stopped by to check it out as I was working on it thank you.
