In May of 1992, I sold my 79 K5 and bought an 85 K5 Blazer. It also had power everything. It had a puppy 305 cubic in. motor with headers and dual exhaust. Boy did I MISS THAT 400 Motor. I had to mash my foot to the floor to get it to go. Well, it saved a LITTLE gas. It also had the 700R4 transmission. It is a 4 speed automatic with a locking torque converter, to SAVE GAS.


This 1985 Blazer turned into My 85 Chevy K5 BLAZER Project


It was now time to think about raising a family. We got news with my wife's first ultrasound, on January 2 1994, that we were going to have TWINS!! I just saw dollar signs!!!! including getting a 4 door FAMILY car.



I found a 1987 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham in April. It came with all the options. To bad it has a small 305 cubic in. (5 liter) motor. Another puppy. It is dark blue with a dark blue leather interior. We then mounted the car seats in the rear for the kids.



On April 22, 1994, my wife gave birth to identical TWIN BOYS. ooooohhh boyyyyyyyy, MORE CARS for me to fix.

Since then, my 85 Blazer has been keeping me buzy.

If you read about My 85 Chevy K5 BLAZER Project ,you will see why I bought another 87 Cadillac Fleetwood Brogham in October 1998. It is identical to my other one, but in much better condition. It is steel blue with a dark blue velour interior.


Well, I'm FINALLY getting back to My 69 Grand Prix Restoration

Currently, I am still in Electronics with a recent career move, December 2000, into a Manufacturing Engineering Technician Position, within the Engineering Group, at a local area company. I now have a combined 20 years experience in Electronics Testing, Repairing, R&D, and Test Fixture Design, building, and implementing, into the manufacturing processes. My new and current position, relies on all of my past experience, plus always learning new, to stay abreast with current technologies.

The 2 Cadillac Broughams and Chevy Blazer are both fully loaded with options.


Boring!!!
