Jeremy (?) owns this 1986 S-10 Blazer. He and his father have done all the work. It has been bagged since this shot. He didn't send any more info, so I guess he lives in Somewhere, U.S.A. You can see it's a very nice, clean Blazer, though!
This '82 S-10 is owned by George, who is also from Somewhere, U.S.A. The bed has been treated to a vinyl cover and Rhino liner. The 5/5" drop consists of coils & spindles up front, & leafs & blocks out back. A Cervini ram air hood covers the transplanted 350. It has an Edelbrock 750cfm carb, & Proformer intake. A Turbo 350 3-speed tranny with a Stage 2 shift kit is controlled by a B&M ratchet floor shifter, and turns the 3:42 rearend. All of this spins the Prime 15x7" wheels just fine!

Bill Ward owns Concepts Autoworks in Elon, NC. He performed all the work on his '95 Astro. It has a 4" bodydrop, CCE hydros, all shaved handles, Street Beat ragtop, Toyota bumper and valance, and 20's.

My name is Domenic Iovino. I am 18, from Massachusetts. This is my 1999 Dakota R/T. It has 20" Nitro Designs wheels. wrapped in 285/30R20 AVS Sports. It has a custom leather interior, and the stereo is all top of the line A/D/S and Alpine components. It has clear lenses all the way around. Mopar headers, a computer chip, and cold air intake were installed on the V8. After these shots were taken, much more has been done. Let's start with the engine. It's now 750hp at the crank. It has a Pro Charger with a front mounted intercooler. The only thing on the motor that is factory is the block. It runs high 9's/low 10's in the 1/4 mile, and is still street legal. Most of the components were custom made because of the lack of performance products available. The tranny is a GM TH400. The suspension has been dropped 1" in the front with Western Chassis Tech coils and have HAL race shocks. The rear has a Ford 9" rear end attached to a four link system with HAL coil-overs. The frame has also been boxed. Carbon fiber race seats and roll cage have been installed. The gauges have been replaced with Auto Meter carbon fiber-faced gauges. I am planning on shaving the taillights, door handles, and tailgate, and possibly replacing the headlights.
