MARKING THE END OF AN ERA

As a child, Israel vividly remembers his dad driving him around in his 70s-era Chevy Blazer. Back then, the Blazer gave him an impression that it was a gigantic playground whenever he climbed into the back of the truck. The Blazer is a source of some great memories for Israel, who says, “I wanted to recreate the nostalgic feeling of the end of an era. Where the great looking cars from the 70's evolved to the new technologies and all its nuances that came with it, (fuel injection and computers). I was able to find the exact model of wheels and tires as I remember them from my childhood for my Blazer build. Chrome with center caps and Bfgoodrich T/A All-terrain tires.” The truck sure looks nostalgic to us, it looks like Israel nailed it perfectly.
