 The back half of the frame was cut off and with the help of Clyde Bynam, a new 2x4 square tube frame was built to ensure the rearend had plenty of breathing room when the Blazer was planted on the tarmac. Continuing out back the factory axle was swapped with that of a disk brake model and another pair of Red's 8" cylinders were added to ensure that the Blazer could reach an expectable ride high and stop on a dime. A custom built SSC 4 link was added to ensure the rear end stayed in the correct position at all stages of travel motion. To get the proper juices flowing a pair of Reds all chrome pumps were installed onto a rack that was built onto the frame while it was still naked. Stainless steel lines were then used to plumb the juice from the pumps to the cylinders.

Once every hole was filled and the frame was as smooth as glass it was treated to several doses of silver metallic paint and then Diamond plate graphics were spread over the entire chassis. While the body was off the frame John and the crew at SSC striped it of the previous factory paint and prepared the body to go under the knife of William Stacks, SSC's master painter and body man. William and the SSC crew started by shaving the body of its bodyline along with the door handles, taillights, tailgate, tailgate handle and frenched the antenna into the B-pillar.
