DaGreenMonster is back and getting V8'd

dagreenmonster · 06-08-2011, 12:29 AM

thanks guys!

dagreenmonster · 07-20-2011, 11:10 PM

picked up a hydroboost set up. Ordered some braided lines and some fittings from summit which should be here tomorrow.

TN-Noma · 07-20-2011, 11:26 PM

Gonna be awesome, remember reading some of your old threads, always liked your truck.

doored454 · 07-21-2011, 07:56 PM

Hydroboost.

I'm installing mine as well, but I either misplaced two fittings or forgot to order them. Stainless braided line here as well, much better looking than the factory setups.

quad post

vivalahammer · 07-21-2011, 08:02 PM

quadruple post!

get it ready for the long drive johnny!

doored454 · 07-21-2011, 08:06 PM

HOLY shit wtf...damn forum. Consider that 4 bumps of awesomeness.

dagreenmonster · 07-22-2011, 08:44 AM

lol thanks for all the bumps guys hahaha

Got all my fittings last nite from Summit. Stainless braided line is awesome, cant wait to install it. I started to clean up the hydroboost unit, degreased it and started throwing down some paint on it.

Quick question, I was going to use my stock 97 master clyinder but the bore size is too big for the hydroboost unit. I have a newer master, it looks like a 98+ unit, and it bolts right up but the bore is actually a little smaller than the diameter on the hydroboost. Will this cause any problems?

dagreenmonster · 04-07-2012, 10:40 PM

next purchase!!!

rjs04 · 04-07-2012, 10:44 PM

Gonna be awesome, I love that pulley setup.

s10fan2000 · 04-07-2012, 11:17 PM

It's goog to see the older members still posting up. Your motor sounds like its going to be badass. Can't wait to see some pics. Got any new pics?

Driveway Kustoms · 04-08-2012, 12:01 AM

yea man, never really went anywhere, just havent posted as much. Been doing the whole "grown up" thing and saving up to buy a house. Moved into an apartment with my girlfriend, so thats been taking up a lot of my time and money. I got the itch back to get the motor done....I also want to do Right Hand Drive as well but we will see

dagreenmonster · 04-11-2012, 03:22 PM

Just picked up the serpentine kit, got it for a steal!

s10fan2000 · 04-15-2012, 12:06 PM

got it put on yet?

dagreenmonster · 04-16-2012, 10:17 PM

lol not yet. Still gotta buy some more parts for the motor...wish i had more $$$

tretiak · 04-16-2012, 10:51 PM

looks good johnny cant wait to cruise with you guys this year to atn

wirrrey21 · 04-18-2012, 02:14 AM

that pulley kit is gonna look great on the motor.
more stuff for ya to polish tho...lol

looks like we've all gotten the itch back on LI

dagreenmonster · 04-27-2012, 05:02 PM

looks like i am picking up a set of hedman headers for the motor for pretty cheap!

631deadhook · 04-28-2012, 12:52 AM

yes u are johnny

dagreenmonster · 04-28-2012, 08:25 AM

thanks again billy!

layinbody31 · 04-28-2012, 11:42 AM

dagreenmonster · 04-29-2012, 03:55 AM

thanks to seeing billys progress on his motor, its kicking my ass into high gear and wanting to get this thing done!

dagreenmonster · 05-05-2012, 09:27 AM

some more parts, Hedman swap headers. I am eventually going to have them ceramic coated

xmb63 · 05-05-2012, 11:11 AM

Are those headers going to work with the body drop? I know I was really tight on space with my sbc swap, but I also wanted to keep the stock hood.

dagreenmonster · 05-05-2012, 11:52 AM

i hope so lol. Ive seen a couple people with bodydrops use these headers and they worked...

dagreenmonster · 05-12-2012, 11:15 PM

Rendering I just had done. Still up in the air about the flames, really wanted to get a feel for how flames would look on the truck. We will see if they stay or not

fiction fab · 05-13-2012, 12:59 PM

Your truck is looking good. I remember following the build on s10owners. Keep up the good work

dagreenmonster · 07-16-2012, 05:58 PM

Carlisle All Truck Nats are in a couple weeks and I have yet to get my truck on the road. This past weekend I changed the fluids, put the wheels and grille on, and started cleaning her up. motor swap will be done after the Disturbed Image show in a couple months

s10fan2000 · 07-16-2012, 09:55 PM

looks like its just time to strap the boots on and kick some ass sir. im loving watching this thread develop. i am not a huge fan of the flames but maybe its just the style the rendering was done. im sure theyll be done classy though.

***droppedss*** · 07-17-2012, 07:18 AM

flames. YES

I've had this picture of this S10 from <ST> for a few years after it hit print. This style of positive / negative will be the route I go (same colors with a bit added) on the sonoma.

i think something like this would look absolutely killer.

I LOVE the shotgun scoop. I will one day have something with one of those poking out the hood, one of my favorite random pieces ever.

The flames were a rough sketch. I actually hand drew the flames on the picture and then sent the picture to AJ at No Life Designs to complete the rendering. So the flames you see are drawn on by me hahaha

Dropped thats pretty damn close to the style of flames I want, I cant draw THAT good hahaha

I have a couple big mods up my sleeve and I was going to try and get one of them done for Carlisle, but I dont think I will get it done in time. The truck isnt even registered for the road yet, so I think I am just going to cruise it around for Carlisle, Low Rollers and the Disturbed Image show and then take it back off the road and go to town!

layinbody31 · 07-19-2012, 09:50 AM

Looks good man! I love the front end combo of the '94-97 Sonoma grille with the '98up Sonoma bumper

What did you do with your main blinker lights since there's no place for them on that front end combo?

I took the bulbs out, and then taped up the harness. I didnt want to cut everything out, in the event I ever change the front end and need the turn signals. I have LED bulbs in the headlight blinkers that are pretty bright

dagreenmonster · 08-07-2012, 08:23 PM

went to Carlisle All Truck Nats this past weekend, had a great time with my club. Managed to get 2nd place Under Construction! Seeing all the trucks at the show kicked my ass back into gear to get the motor swap done! Heres a couple pics from this weekend

dagreenmonster · 08-12-2012, 09:00 PM

went to a local meet today, had a great time, heres some pics

the daily driver:

dagreenmonster · 08-16-2012, 05:45 PM

TN-Noma · 08-16-2012, 08:42 PM

dagreenmonster · 08-20-2012, 06:39 PM

Hit another show this past weekend. My buddy drew set up a little shoot with his friend Kari and my buddy Sal.
