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?
