::History::
I have always liked cars but my love for the cb7 started when i was like 10 or 11, got a ride to church with a friends mother in a 91 DX sedan and, For some reason, i loved the car. I have gone back and forth between liking Muscle cars and Tuner cars but kept the love for the cb7. So in August of 2010 my Dad offered me his 2002 Blazer Extreme but i said to sell the car, get me a cb7, and keep the extra money. This being my first car and still in school, it will be slow going till i graduate and get a full time job and when i pay back my Dad for the car. Im really happy about buying this car because i saved it from getting scraped, previous owner told me after i bought it he was a day away from calling the junkyard.
Ive always wanted to build my own project car, something that shows who i am and what i like. Also wanted something fairly easy to modify. Chose this platform because i think the cb7 is very good looking, is great on gas for a first car, and isnt pricey on a 17 year-olds insurance. This will definitely not be my last project and my ultimate goal is to have a feature in a magazine and own my own tuning shop one day. I am new to this world and am in the process of learning how to do better work on cars in school. Most of my knowledge is self taught and i appreciate tips and support. Many of you on here have inspired me. Thanks cb7tuner community.
Thats all i gotta say. Enjoy my MR thread.
