[fox23]

[foxx57]

the newer zq8s are hard to find in edmonton, i found 2 at an auto wrecker and they wanted 150 a peice, but i took em anyways and ordered 2 knockoffs off ebay for about 300 for 2 shipped, btw does anyone here know where i could find the mounting brackets for the sideskirts under the doors on an xtreme?

gm they are only 40 bucks a side,the rest are expensive

yea i went to a gm dealer and they were somewheres around $140 each for the brackets man its kinda a rip, i seen an xtreme that rolled over sitting at a wreckers yard by fort saskatchewen but they dont know if there gonna part it out or not yet

[fox23]

everything seems to be overpriced at the dealer. when i did my 98+ front end swap they were guna charge me $60/headlight plug, and i needed for. i found them at napa for $7 each.

[sonomaguy]

Well, it's supposed to rain until next week monday, so I guess sometime after that.

[foxx57]

yea hopefully it wont stay that long man, are there any cruises goin on for the summer in or outta town at all?

[bdydrgns15]

I'm still a couple weeks away from being done yet...

[02dime]

i know how you feel i've been waiting for my X kit to get painted for over a week,well yesterday i tried the trick of using spring clamps on the leafs to reduce wheel hop and it worked so awesome and it only cost me $8,now it will lay a patch 60ft long when i hop on the throttle,anyone tried these little things,so has anyone did the tb mod and stuff yet

[monkey03X]

not yet but i;m gonna do it pretty soon and what are those spring clamps you talk about i've never heard of that? all i've done is swap steering wheels to a grant one and take out the airbag led in the dash shave the gate install projector headlights and markers (black ones ) paint some interior cold air intake throttle body spacer 2/3 drop and fix carrier bearing misalignment from the drop and disable the DRL's soon to come is TB mod and maybe one piece driveshaft or disc brake upgrade in the rear

[02dime]

ya im going to go buy the driveshaft and brakes next week i got a good deal from a rite off blazer for the brakes and a 2003 hd chevy for the driveshaft,the spring clamps are a 2 min install and it sure helped with the wheelhop cuz i dont have the 3rd shock in the back,the tb mod is 2 min also,when i come to edmonton ill bring a shaved tb blade,so when the weather permits we all have to rip it up

not to hard, took me probly 5 hours to do everything before bodywork. but i made my own box, and it was a big pain in the ass. i would highly recomend just buying one from SD for $14, its worth it for sure.

yeah there is only one s10 there that a s2ndgen, and an old scool blazer but yea
yeah i never leave the truck around that place at all or else u comeback and it is gone haha lets do the math here, coliseum=very bad area

[sonomaguy]

any pics?

[foxx57]

im gonna post some pix soon

[foxx57]

heres a few pix from the show, i took with my cameraphone is it isnt the best,

[foxx57]

heres a few pix of my s10, its a 95..............

[fox23]

ya there wasnt many s10's, kinda dissapointed in the bagged ride turn out.

[foxx57]

yeah man shitty

[monkey03X]

yeah that blue second gen dime at the show was kind of hack it had a two link that when it was layed out made the wheelbase shorter and the interior was painted over the texture and it looked gross

[fox23]

i thought the bodywork was good on it, i didnt notice the painted interior. i did notice how there was only 2 switches in the consol.

[monkey03X]

yeah body was good or decent i should say not really powerama worthy but it looked good (only cause mine's the same color) and the two switches are for front and back it doesn't have side-side or any of that stuff the nine switch guys have

[rentedmule]

mine's also the same color and i think i have the same tail lights as well. I was there on sunday and i agree, the painted interior didn't look good. I think the blue contrasted too much with the pewter dash.

[fox23]

[monkey03X]

the interior would have looked good if he sanded all the texture off them before he painted it like i did mine looks soo sweet it's glass smooth

[foxx57]

yeah i think that the blazer looked gay

[foxx57]

does warren still work with u? i want to see if he can do my truck soon

[monkey03X]

hey melvin thought that was you and no he still works at herbers though i work at harolds on 50th

[fox23]

ya i smoothed out a couple interior peices and painted them, along with my fiberglass consol, it looks pretty sweet. i mostly do it on and off when i dont really have a project on the truck going, just to keep me occupied.

[foxx57]

yeah man its me, haha, yea i pulled beside u a few times, the truck looks good man, i havent done awhole lot yet, just dropped it and thats it so far, but warren was saying he wanted to paint the damn thing but im not too sure what to do quite yet, do u have any connections on getting xtreme peices?

[fox23]

nah, just takes time. i did my first 2 small door peices by hand. but then i got some 80grit discs for my DA sander and went to town on the A-pillars, probly 20 mins to smooth them out with 80, then i used 180 and then filler primer. then paint and clear. probly 2hrs in each pillar start to finish, if that.

Sounds good to me. I'll see if I can make it. Hopefully I remember this time. I tried a few times last year but always forgot about it. 8 it is. If you're looking for xtreme pieces, I may know a fellow who has the whole kit he wants to sell. PM me and I'll give you his name and number.
