Whats up,
My names Jeff and i live in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
I bought this car a year ago and have been working on it ever since. The first week i owned this car i drove it for a total of 21 miles before the engine blew apart (oil pump stopped working and the motor seized up, hear this is a common problem with the older 4.3 motors)and even after the origional owners denial of any knowledge of anything wrong with the car, i kept it and decided to rebuild it. I started by dropping a brand spankin' new Jasper Crate motor fresh outta the box into my car. And for the motor to stay under warrenty i had to replace just about everything else besides the AC (Radiator, water pump, hoses, belts, etc.) So basically its a new car now.
I drive this car every single day so even through all my efforts it still gets dirty.
-----Final Update 4/27/06----
Projects finished as truck is now totalled. Thank you old people that drive in south florida. :(
Future plans are to swap most of my blazer parts onto an extended cab s10. Hopefully i can start this in a couple months.
-----UPDATE 12/30/05-----
Added Undercar neons, decided to go with the StreetGlow Optix set and to be honest im very pleased with their performance.
-----UPDATE 11/9/05------
Today i decided to finish up the neons and post a few pictures so here they are:

-----UPDATE 11/8/05 -----
Told you that Audiobahn Subwoofer was garbage.... thing caught on fire (Yes it was physically in flames) while i was driving around with my friends. I have since completed the Alpine Setup with 2 new 10" Type-R Subs. These subs ROCK for 10's, because everyone who hears my car asks what kinda "12's i got". So if your out to get 10"s i would highly reccommend the Type-R series. Heres the new setup:
I have also started working on the front shell to see if i can fix the billets but all attempts so far havent been very successful.
Also finished the green neons under the dash.... will have pic's tommorow....
