Well have been busy finishin up a customers car, and not to mention gettin sick, so I finally got my parts in for my steerin(Two 3/4" u-joints from flamingriver.com & my 3/4" heim joint) Got the steerin all taken care of. This weekend I'm blastin the frame so it can get fully welded, some more gussets, battery trays, compressor mounts, then I can finish up a little body work on the frame and then it'll be ready for paint.

The frame is almost completely welded, but I ran outta gas. But here's some pics of the battery trays and compressor mount

Passenger side has more of a gap for the main wiring harness, just for a little extra room

Puttin back together now, hopefully by tomorrow if everything goes right the frame will be completely back together, then I'll run my airline, and valves, so I can have a rollin chassis, also got my license plate, sick of people last year tellin me, "nice s10"

hey bagged, ive got a question. On the grant customs roll pan you bought, did you have to cut some of the metal away from the edges of the bed, or how did you do that?

Truck looks pretty good. Im thinking of bagging mine too and I have a couple of questions about what/how you did the suspension. It looks like you got rid of the strut rods in the front, did you use different lower control arms or did you alter the stock ones? What are you using for front shocks and where are you going to mount them? Do you have any more pics of those parts? I was thinking about laying mine out but Im not sure how to address the strut rod issue or the bag mount in the front. Thanks for the help

Gotta get my interior finished by next weekend so my air brush guy can come out and work his magic. Here's a few pics of the center console that flows right w/my dash, and the tunnel sectioned and raised up. The piece missin in the console is a removable piece for my shifter, and wires for switches

Lays pinch when aired out



Here's a teaser pic of the dash/console, I have removable panels for the back to extend the console underneath the dash, I molded in my bezel from my B&M shifter so I can use the chrome bezel(which is the piece that is missin), the gauges are placed slightly at an angle towards me when I'm drivin which wasn't fun doin the body work, lol
