I feel in love right away with a whole different aspect of racing that I was not familiar with on TV. I then started my quest to build a budget prerunner, after starting and selling a couple of different vehicles(one more extreme then the following) I came upon the blazer and fell in love with it. Well like any project I took it in for a rollcage and we ended up cutting the whole thing up, built a few things and rebuilt them again. The fabrication completion date should be around January 31, 2006. Then it will be off to dash, wiring and plumbing. I will be doing a lot of the finishing work myself with the help of friends in the industry. The goal of my prerunner will be to prerun the bigger SCORE & BITD races and some chasing at select races. </span></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%"> </td> <td width="50%"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" align="right" colspan="2"> <div align="center"> <center> <table border="0" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="80%"> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <p align="center"><b>Project Subsections:</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2">- <a href="http://www.race-dezert.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16296"> Vehicle Specs</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2">- Dash - Custom Aluminum Dash being built</td> </tr> <tr> <td>- Steering - HOWE shows me how to setup a steering box with internal stops.</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>- Wiring - Wiring a prerunner from scratch</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>- Plumbing - Plumbing a vehicle from scratch (brakes, fuel, cooling and steering) </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </center> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%"> </td> <td width="50%"> </td> </tr> </table> </center> </div>
