Builds before we had the internet for build threads

So as i hang out at my moms house with a hand in a cast I was looking through some old pictures and found a bunch of cars and trucks I owned. Some of these are 15+ years old and all of them at least 12 years old. Most I dont have any build pictures because it used to be a big deal to take pictures.

anyways share your old projects from your teen years if you have any.

First car 79 mustang pace car with a built 5.0 and t-tops never made it past primer because I found a holly double pumper with no choke was hard to start in the winter.



87 Blazer I did a 4" tuff country lift with blocks new wheels 35"s paint and thought i was so cool




then my dad let me paint his old truck


then came an 84 k5 my jr year in high school. build a 383 stroker 6" tuff country lift 2" body lift and moved the bumpers that was a big deal at the time. 35" boggers on 12" wheels new paint of course and I loved that k5 so much.


then a cj7 at 18 it had a fiber glass tub and a 360. all i did was a spring over (my first one ever) paint fender flairs used 33" ties new 10" wheels bed liner to the tub and seat covers. I remember it didnt have a working fuel gauge or trip meter and i always ran out of gas in that thing.



Then an 87 yj did the most to this one over the years but this was the state it was in before i turned 20.

So where's the pictures of that old black 72 blazer I remember you having?

I have been over the crawler thing for some time now. I ride dirtbikes a lot and have been into the desert racing thing since 09. This is my "golf cart " I have been working on.
