Re: heres a project
$55,000?
Seriously? Am I missing something? I see maybe $6500 in parts. That price doesn't even include tires.

Re: heres a project
yea I just fell out of my chair. Thought maybe the pics got mixed up with another ad. He really screwed up taking a CHERRY truck and butcher it up like that. It was worth a lot more unmolested than in the full blown custom thing he has going. Tragic

Re: heres a project
This makes no sense!? I looked at those pictures trying to find a reason for the asking price. Maybe he added a zero?
Did anyone else look at the pictures of the frame? I was staring at them for a few minutes and it looks like he used the original front frame section and made the rear section narrower. Also, they make motor mounts to bolt up an LS motor, why go through the trouble of making your own when you can buy one for $100? And the tail lights??? I'm so confused.

Re: heres a project
It does come with a matching trailer chock full of rusty and primered parts I like the picture at the end that shows what his vision is for the project if the buyer throws another 30K at it. That helps a lot!

Re: heres a project
There is truly so many things wrong with this project that its hard to tell where to start. I guess maybe we are all just sad that he took a prefect resto project and went right off the cliff with it. I'm still blown away by the fact it was a "rust free" truck TOTALLY butchered. The time and money invested should have gone into a truck that looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. But what do we know and for that matter I have no room to talk with my resto mod. So so sad.

Re: heres a project
I guess some folks should stick to being the top motorcycle builder. Too bad for this Blazer. It sounds like it may be too hacked up to make anything decent out of.

Re: heres a project
yikes. I would have put money on the "added a zero" idea if he didn't go on a rant about how if he finishes it it would be 100k.
