is that the same thing s "excursion killer" (684x knows what i'm talkin about) it was a tube chassi 73 chevy framed 468 bb fuel injected 'glas bodied desert racer, pretty cool, maybe the mags went in together on that one, but that shows that th frames were better back then, or maybe just cheaper to get

The went with the old frame so they could get away from emission requirement and use that bad ass motor. Pretty good thinking!

This is new project burb (I believe the other is in Peterson's). The bought a
'71 three door Burb to build up. This month, they put in a new rear axel with disks, an oversized cover and a locker. They are obviously planning on lifting it because they put in a "temporary" rear drive shaft. It could be pretty cool!

The Blazer is BAD A$$ (at least it was before he rolled it) The guy boxed in the frame, added the most heavy duty suspension he could dream up and then dropped in a built 500+ HP 502. He wanted to be able to jump it with out breaking it.

I think Petersens owns both Mags now. I get offers to buy eiteher one in the same envelope.

Just got it today, the blazer article was good but the superburb projet got my attension, it's about time they did a 67-72 project.

Finally got mine in the mail too. That Blazer was at Last years Jamboree in Springfield. I saw it there and it was Really Cool. I think Mudder was at the photo shoot where it was jumping. Here's a pic. I think he posted it a while back.
