Fesler Built 67 Blazer 4 month Build almost done
 

67 Blazer project ready to hit the roads, not just any blazer but a pro-touring style suspension with a roadster flare to it. Will be driven on a regular basis, I will post a ton of the build photos up here so you guys can see all the work we put into this one.

I wanted to build a 32-33 roadster for years and finally found the car last year. After talking with my guys and deciding that building another 32-33 roadster would not do it for me we decided to build something a little more off the wall.

I bought this 4X4 69 Blazer last year 3 months before SEMA and wanted to do something wild with it, so we started cutting and chopping things up. Kicker heard about what we were doing and wanted to get involved with it and use it as a show car for them. So we went into SEMA mode to get the thing started to show in their booth. Now there is no way we would have finished it since SEMA was less than a month away so we busted butt on it for 30 days to get it in the black stage you can see on our website. www.feslerbuilt.com

Well with just 4 months build time (that’s right 4 months) from start to almost finished including paint here is what we have. I still have to Dyno the engine, build door panels and build some engine covers before it is officially done but other than that it is ready to cruise and enjoy. I have geared up my shop to be one of the fastest builders on the west coast and don’t think because we do it fast we cut any corners. Now this was not done in 4 months straight, since this is a shop demo vehicle for us, so we spent 30 days before SEMA last year (showed it at SEMA 06) then brought it back to the shop and it sat until 90 days before SEMA 2007 at which time we finished everything else. I have a full shop to run with customer cars so we don’t have much time for shop stuff. So what you see in the pictures is what we got done for SEMA this year 07.

I figure most people are tired of waiting years for their builds from different shops around the country building their car. I know guys that have been working on a certain car for over 3 years and to me it just doesn’t make sense. Now if you are building a car for the huge awards well that makes sense but if you are building a car to drive and have fun with the faster you can start driving it the better.

Our average build time is less than one year on most projects and like I said before we don’t cut corners we do it right, don’t spend your money on other client’s projects and we have that little extra to get them done faster than most shops. If you are looking for a cool ride whether it be old or new, contact us and we can probably start your project within a month.

I will post the complete build of this up here so people can see the work, you can also check the magazines since we are getting ready to do the cover shots for it very soon. That’s right we also do all the photography on our cars as well. Email with any questions

saw that thing at Goodguys, pretty sick :thumbsup:

yeah its been to Goodguys in Scottsdale and to SEMA so far. Glad you like it

Saw it at Sema - wow is this thing impressive

Didn't I see that at Barrett Jackson last year?

Yes you did and that is how it went to SEMA 06, Scottsdale Goodguys 06, CES 07 and BJ 07 last year. After that we put it in our show room for the rest of the year until just before SEMA again this year. We pulled it out after sitting on display for 7 months and finished everything we did not have time to do the year before. It will be at BJ this year so come check it out.

Here are some shots from

Cool Blazer! and I like your build philosophy even better! 4 months,looks cool and done right! yea!

Saw it at SEMA this year... one of my favorites. I stopped by to ask you about getting a set of those wheels but you were on the phone. I got so sidetracked I never made it back.

Blazer Build 1
 

Here is what it looked like when we got it, lifted 4X4 with lots of parts that are just wrong

I will post the complete build here for everyone to see the steps we took to get it where it is now

Here we tear everything apart so we can send it out to be media blasted to see how bad the body is. I dont care about the rest of the parts I just want the tub and tittle

Blazer just shot
 

OK its all done, well almost its at the Dyno now getting full tune so we can drive it everyday, thats right this is going to be a everyday driver. I will trailer it out to Delmar but around town and to work its getting driven. I will post some more soon but thought you guys might like to see the photo shoot on it. Look at that rear wheel now thats deep dish and yes it sits all the way down. :lateral:

Mad steez with that for a shop truck!! Can you drive it that low, in the last pic? Is it bagged and thats fully lowered?
Very cool, the wheels look amazing.
