Looks like a nice start.How does the blazer body fit the bruiser wheelbase?Also,nice garage!Couldn't help but notice the silver Honda against the wall.Is that a f41 or an rr?I just bought an f4i and was wondering how you like it.Looking forward to seeing this truck being built,keep us posted.Jim

I'm also wondering about the WB for Bruiser with the Blazer body? I was planning the very same set up with the chassis, Body, and Leafs! Looks good so far, keep it coming!

IT HAS BEGUN!!!!!! There are going to be so many more blazer builds now, and I love it! This board needs more chevy's. I about had my share of jeeps and yotas. Well that's the end of my rant It's looking good so far. Are you gonna go with an OEM color or primer the outside up for that trail look? |

The hardest part about the build will be matching the front bumper...I might have to bribe Chino63 to help me with that, since he now lives only a few miles from me!!        | |
