My "Pseudo '73 Blizzard" project Here are pictures of my attempt to turn a pile of junk TNT free air parts into a likeness of a 1973 Blizzard. This project is still underway.....I'll keep these updated as the project progresses. |
|
The humble beginnings of a Blizzard I had a TNT chassis and miscellaneous junk parts that I didn't know what to do with. I decided I would try and build myself a Blizzard. |

Closeup of the '74 TNT hood This hood was in very poor shape. A previous owner had done some pretty questionable fiberglass work. It turned out to be an ideal donor hood to be cut up and modified for my "Blizzard." |
|
Just before surgery Here you can see the SST handlebars in place and the small Pantera rear tank temporarily placed. The SST front crossmember is sitting in front. |
|
Getting started on the hood I sectioned the hood with an air rotary cutter to lower the center portion and remove the headlight. Since this picture I have nearly completed it. I cut a portion of a Camaro spoiler and 'glassed it onto the upper area. This fiberglass work took way more time than I expected. |

Hunter inspecting my welds The '75 SST crossmember is all welded into place. I used the TNT spindles and steering arms....it all fit nicely. |
|
A real 1973 Blizzard This is what I'm hoping to copy. You can see the Kelsey-Hayes brake setup. I got one for mine off of a '71 Panther....I'll get it installed when the snow melts. I don't like the "Camel hump" seat - I intend to pattern mine after the low G/R version. |

Another 1973 Blizzard Just a bit nicer than mine, ehh? |
