Buggy Project – Bringing Home the Blazer

Aaron — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 12:04:49 +0000

The buggy project takes another important step… Bringing Home the Blazer.

This is a 71 Chevy Blazer that I was able to purchase from my friend (Thanks Kam!). It’s already seem it’s fair share of part-swaping to get the best combination:

- SB 350 bored 30 over.
- Tranny is a 4speed MT SM465.
- Transfer case is NP205.
- Rear end is the GM Big 14 bolt, full-floater.
- The front end Dana 60.
- Both front and rear drivelines have dual CV joints.

All in all, it’s got all the right stuff where it matters most.

This is going to be fun!

More pics as the project progresses.

Cameron Moll Colosseo iPad Martian Giveaway

Aaron — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 22:10:15 +0000

Cameron Moll is my online hero and I’ve been following his work for as long as I can remember. When I heard about his latest Colosseo iPad Giveaway, I had to give it a shot. What could be better than winning an iPad from my hero just for making a simple post for “cameron moll colosseo ipad martian giveaway“? Thanks for the opportunity Cameron, and best of success to you!

I have loved the Letterpress Posters by Cameron ever since I saw the Salt Lake City LDS Temple he created. I really would love a signed copy of that poster someday if he makes it available again. Other creations I have admired Cameron for is the AuthenticJobs site and the Mobile Web Design book, which taught me a lot.

Check out Cameron’s latest creation at colosseotype.com .

Here is a preview of his work… the man is simply amazing.

So, here’s to winning an iPad! And at the very least, I had a great chance to talk about and show appreciation for a personal hero and amazing designer.

Project Buggy – Pre-Planning Stages

Aaron — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 06:12:10 +0000

I’ve been dying to start on a project like this for the last few weeks, er, months, er, years… and I’m proud to announce that the pre-planning stages for “Project Buggy” have arrived. Now before you all get uptight about this sudden public address (especially my wife), let me clarify a little. I said “pre-planning”, as in, before planning… as in, I have not yet even started planning for the day I will begin this glorious project – but the determination is still there.

So, do we go with pure tube-frame? Use a stock-ish Toyota frame with no cab, just body panels? or try to keep the frame and cab in-tact and try to make the thing [more] street-legal?

Here are a few awesome pics to get the creative juices flowin -
After all, that is the very first step, right?

Next, we’ll have to think up a good name for this project… Any suggestions?
