Rbray47 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 My current project, been working on it about a year. Amt 96 Blazer 4x4 with a pro street Nova chassis, which had to be shortened and narrowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotnitro? Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Cool conversion ! Make sure to upgrade your ball joints , cause the blazer family always suffered from separation. Wouldn't want to have a lousy ball joint come apart with all that muscle on tap lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbray47 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Thanks! I got more done last night, but I haven't had time to take any more pics yet. As for the ball joints, it now has the Nova's front subframe. Its cut off in the previous pics because I had to shorten the floor pan and reposition the firewall.

Rbray47 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Here's a quick mockup. I got lot done over the weekend. Not everything is straight or aligned yet. The cage is started. The Blazer interior has been rough fitted to the Nova chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rbray47 Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Back at this one (after it sat about a year and a half) Now it's green. Hopefully I can clear it tomorrow while I'm still off work. Also did some engine fitting. I went ahead and used the engine from the Nova kit, modified to tuck under the hood and firewall.

Zippi Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Boy that's looking pretty trick. That Nova chassis fits great. Hey.....that would have made a good Gasser as well. Just sayin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 That is kind of nifty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbray47 Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 Getting the engine fitted properly. I found that the motor mounts I made interfered with literally every single exhaust header from my parts stash. So out they came. Problem was only partially solved though. Since I wanted the engine set back and low enough to keep the hood stock, the suspension and steering box wouldn't allow any headers either, so ended up cutting and grafting a pair until they nestled in without touching anything.

Just Jim Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Looks very cool. Love the stance on the mock-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbray47 Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Interior is done and engine installed. Hopefully I can get some better pics tomorrow in the sunlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbray47 Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 Still plugging away at it. I think I made the exhaust a little too fat, but that's ok (I used sprue, so my options were limited) Also, I can't seem to remember where I put my Tamiya masking tape, so I tried to freehand the frosted areas of the windows (after a drink or two) Didn't turn out too well, so I blacked them out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Nice looking build. Gives me ideas for the Blazer and the Ford pickup rebuilders I have. I'll have to see how the Pro Street Tbird chassis and suspension work under them. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
