Details

This custom 1972 Chevrolet Blazer was built by JP's Customs with a full rotisserie nut-and-bolt restoration and boasts Build Badge No. 27. The drivetrain is powered by a brand-new GM crate LS3 engine with a Whipple supercharger pushing 700hp, dressed with a Wegner front drive system and backed by a built 4L80E transmission. The engine is equipped with fully polished stainless headers from Ultimate Headers and exhales out a dual 3-inch mandrel-bent exhaust with Black Widow mufflers. The engine bay is designed with a fully custom smooth firewall and core support. Most of all, wiring has been hidden for that high-end level of detail. The foundation for this build started with an all-new fully boxed and engineered coilover chassis from GSI Machine and has large 6-piston Wilwood brakes, Currie 9-inch rear axle with posi-traction, 4-link rear and tubular independent front suspension, all riding on a set of RideTech coilovers. The chassis is fully powder-coated in Gloss Black and assembled with all-new hardware and stainless brake lines. The body has gone through the full process on a rotisserie and was painted in Atomic Silver on the belly and outside, while a Satin Red interior paint was used for inside the body. The inside floor was sprayed with red Raptor Liner for sound-deadening, and then a layer of Kilmat was added throughout for further protection from heat and sound. The exterior paint has been hand-sanded and polished for a show-quality finish. The single-wall top has been fully restored and is finished in a two-tone shiny Jet Black outside with Blood Red inside. The exterior features all-new smoked glass, weatherstripping, hardware, trim and brightwork. The exterior molding has been wood-grained using Hogan Built products. The body has all-matching GM keys throughout, with door locks, hatch lock, glove box and ignition lock all opened with the same GM key. This build rolls on a custom-built set of 20x9-inch billet front wheels and 22x12-inch Schott rear wheels, wrapped in Diamond Back red line tires. The interior is done by Burton Upholstery and sports a highly modified set of fully bolstered utility bucket seats. Most chrome details have been glossed over with Jet Black with a Satin Red dash. Other interior amenities include Dakota Digital gauges, a tilt column with a Budnik steering wheel, and custom-tailored Relicate German square-weave carpet with matching floor mats and custom foot pads. The cabin climate is controlled by a Vintage Air Gen V system and blows through a set of Restomod Air vents. The doors have been upgraded with new-style latches from Altman, and the door cavities were also lined with Kilmat.
