Jon I have been looking for you on aim quite frequently, but our schedules do NOT mix haha. I sent you an email too. Check it out... Also, his projects take nearly 5 years, every bolt gets replaced, every piece gets polished, I cannot have it take that long lol.

Re: So I finally started...

WOW, it's been a week and a half since I updated on this damned thread. I got my shock mounts for the front, and my DJM shocks as well. Got them all mocked up, I will be having my welder come over next week hopefully. Then I will tear everything apart and take it for the powdercoating. While that's gone, i think my father and I are going to start piecing together the motor. I am at the girlfriends house right now, but I will snap a couple photos when I get home.

Also, wondering if anybody needs a pair of tires? I am selling a set, they are in this link:
http://www.s10forum.com/classifieds/...t=500&page= 1

Lastly, I have been speaking with a well known wheel company, wtwcorp. They are the makers of Giovanna, Gianelle, and a various assortment of other wheels. Anyway, he is willing to give me a deal on a set of wheels, so that thought is in my mind again... I do like some of them, but I just don't know.



I just don't know!

Re: So I finally started...

Maybe the 2nd pic.... the others don't do anything for me.
Although I say stick with the current ones over all of them.

I hope you got your money! I am going to toss around a few ideas, the main thing is that things are getting done. Slowly, but, surely.

Re: So I finally started...

the original is not going to happen, I am set on going away from the two tone as crazy as that may sound But we'll see, I got a partial sponsorship lined up on a set of wheels IF i want to go that route, boze alloys. DEEP lip, powdered centers, and painted lips

Re: So I finally started...

well the wheel company has switched again lol maybe. I like this wheel a lot:

cool thing I could do is paint just where there is a "valley" if you will on each spoke, they can color match, that might look cool. then there is this wheel:

that one would get a color matched LIP ( which would be about 4-5 inches deep) and a black powdered center. I just don't know lol. One thing's for sure, if I want to switch it up, the intros won't take long to sell. haha

Re: So I finally started...

OK, so I don't really know what's going on with the wheels quite yet, still debating.... I am getting some gussets cut tonight by the millwrights at my dads work, for the front shock mounts. I will get those welded in some time next week. Also, talked with the powdercoating place, they said whenever I bring it in, just give them a couple weeks, so that will be getting done SOON . In attempts to save a little money here and there I have considered going with a factory option color (if you're a painter, know a painter, or know how much paint costs, please correct me!). It is a color offered on the new pontiac g8 GT, Stryker blue. pretty cool color.
