it can be shipped lol, but 2lowforafathoe did want it a while back, i forgot about getting the quote for it tho

also have a pair of paint matched door handles to go on soon

[Driveway Kustoms]

~UPDATE~

well i did a naughty thing tonite, i cut off half a coil and reseated my coils correctly this time, so my truck NOW SITS LEVEL wooo!!!!!, and for all you haters, its a belltech coil, i cut exactly a half off, and it rides no different than before, please dont post up how cutting is a bad thing, because its temp and it was annoying the crap outta me sitting higher in the front

pics up of handles/drop tomm stay tuned

[91S10BlownSBC]

there is nothing wrong with cutting a coil as lon as its done properly and not with a torch or cutting the whole damn spring in half to get a drop out of it.

[Driveway Kustoms]

yea i know but some ppl have a case of the sand vag, but we did it with a grinder and keps it fairly cool

[scott9001]

and my wheels

[/quote]

those tires work awsome i got em on my caddi

[Driveway Kustoms]

for 55 bucks, hell yea

[Driveway Kustoms]

well its been a while but UPDATE nonetheless

I got my exhaust professionally fixed, so it doesnt hit the axel anymore, and now you dont see it at all (what I was going for in the first place)

painted handles are now on, fresh tune up with delco plugs/coil/msd wires/new cap rotor by accel anddd.....new delphi fuel pump....yea theyre fun when they go

going to start body work on tailgate soon, and wheels are hopefully in the near future

but heres a single pic from a local car show and a vid of some birthday fun

[Kiko]

Cool. I was wondering when you were goin to post updates.

[Driveway Kustoms]

woh someone actually watches this haha the next few weeks will have a few more hopefully

[greatdane68]

I've been keeping an eye on this thread too.

[Matt96Dime]

good lookin dime!!

[Driveway Kustoms]

thanks man

[diamondbackjo]

hey man where did you get your handles and about how much was it to paint em.

[Driveway Kustoms]

the handles i got off a 94-97 s10 because theyre smooth handles, sanded down the little bit of texture in the middle, primed them and when my truck got painted i gave them to him to paint, but if you do it, take them apart and take all the rubber bumpers off and the lock cylinder out- but to take it to a shop prolly 50-100, the handles i scored for free but you can get them for 10-20 at a yard prolly

[slmmedxtrme03]

looks good man. good updates!

[Driveway Kustoms]

thanks- should have some interior updates that ive been working on soon =P

and another cool pic i took since every1 loves pics:



just not the rollpan n tailgate relocator lol they're for later

hey homie where did you buy that kit and how much did you pay for it,

[Driveway Kustoms]

its a pieced together set- leafs were $200, coils were $100 (make sure you specify 4cyl or 6 cly), blocks and driveshaft alignment kit were another $100, front shocks were $90, rears were $70 and I already had spindles but they would be $150 or so, I also needed shackles since mine were toast and they were $90, and when all said and done an alignment for $60 soo

so $860....holy crap i never noticed i spent that much lol

[Driveway Kustoms]

small, unexpected update

ive been workin on interior pieces slowly, but my upper intake manifold gasket went on meso a friend and i spent the day tearin it apart, its all apart right now and to my surprise, it looks immaculate inside for 104kmi, bearly any traces of sludge etc, i still have all the reciepts from the lady who owned it before me, and the oil was changed religiously, as it still is. But when i pulled the distributor, the gear was worn terribly on the bottom, almost to a knife edge. I had a code thrown for a cam/crank sensor correlation problem and am hoping this is it (as it most likely will be)

some pics tomm or monday, whenever i get around to putting them up

oh and my dad is trying to convince me to raise my truck to stock height

This is the first time I have saw your project thread truck looks awesome. and I like the last part about your dad

[Driveway Kustoms]

thanks man, i forgot to take pics of the teardown and rebuild of the top of my motor lol but i took some pics today, excuse the truck shes DIRTY as hell, and i broke the bezel around the tailgate hangle but the new one will be here when i get back from vacation

but the pics are with 2 of my other babys- my 04 z250 and my gf- plz dont comment on her, tell me to pee in her butt etc, i dont care and gtfo of my thread is you really need to do that but:

[Mr.woodscrewsNbondo]

damn i love that roll pan

[Driveway Kustoms]

thanks, and a shaved handle is comin soon

[sik_sdime]

nice work man.

[Driveway Kustoms]

thanks, and if you cant tell the swirls are back on due to the fact that the rear snow tires showed abnormal tire wear and had gone almost completely bald

but im looking into wheels and tires next- i can get a set of vette wagon wheels for fairly cheap but with the spacers, rear tires, and me wanting a set of black or gunmetal wheels, the paint or powdercoat brings the cost up quite a bit. I have 2 very nice 17s off the front of a vette with 95% tread on them that i scored for free! so im trying to go with a 17 of some sort. My other options were a set of soft 8s- which im leaning towards because i want to race some autocross this summer or biting the bullet and getting some 203s- particularly insanenomas

i also looked into some vette rally wheels but after pricing out the trim rings on top of some fat rubber, things were comparable to a set of 17s- and i just wanted a set to keep cost down

but what do you want im a broke college kid savin up his money and tryin to make an s10 a lil bit different than when it came off the assembly line

[Driveway Kustoms]

not much of an update other than a good wash/wax, but shes all purdy now- the hood almost looks like a white mirror





as for rims i have an idea that i havent seen on the forum yet but i dont know yet and my ind changes daily

[Driveway Kustoms]

small interior update:

finished up some little things in my interior to make it a little more user friendly-painted dash bezel again and door cups to match, put blue leds in the cluster, 12 leds along the back panel and installed some autozone led strips in place of the courtesy foot lights, along with recovering my one pillar pod in crushed velvet because i broke the last one









and some outside pics at night:





sorry the pics arent of the greatest quality, i was experimenting with the camera at night

BUT ANYWAY, currently the truck has the tranny out of it in my garage, the throwout bearing decided to detonate sunday night and i put a clutch and slave cylinder in it while i had it out, but you ask how that happened?

well the story my dad heard: coming home from my g/fs house it was making a loud screeching noise in first thru fourth but was fine with 5th gear, and it all happened coming up over the mountain

...what really happened: doing donuts and drifting in the rain sunday night killed it after dropping the clutch a few times to break loose lol i hate when my truck breaks but shell be back to normal again soon

[Woody22]

maybe now you wont drive like an ass? lol

truck looks good. i think you should polish the swirly's i think it would look cool on your truck

[Driveway Kustoms]

unfortunately i doubt it, i just need something else to beat to keep the s10 pretty

[eriley]

beat your meat

[greatdane68]

Man, I just painted my bezel and door cups too (my truck also happens to be white). Looking good man.

[Driveway Kustoms]

yea ive seen them painted a lot but hey i still like it, i just dont like when everything that can come off is painted, like the vents and speaker things on the grills, they look like shit imo, and if noone noticed theyre black vents and i have a black vent all the way over from another truck

[Restoration]

Love what you have done with it so far. The drop is really nice, anymore and it would be impractical as a daily. Props for driving it in the winter too. I know a couple guys from kingston new york and I guess your winters are as bad as ours. Debadging it and taking off the white walls really clean up the look alot.

[s10dollar]

looks good man i would say get some clear corners next and your gauge cluster looks sweet all blue

[Driveway Kustoms]

thanks for the good words guys, and kybosh-arent you from kingston ontario? i saw it in a diff thread i thought and thought it was funny


but as it turned out my tranny is toasted pretty bad so ive been driving my dads truck until i can get a nice tranny which should be a week or two more and then throw it in it really sucks doing it in a garage with an uneven once paved garage with dips and dives everywhere (putting in concrete floors when this is done )

but anyone have a nv3500 or nv4500? and does anyone know if the nv4500 is a direct swap?

[Oldskool94]

i just read thru the whole thread and you put it in to persective you dotn have to have a bagged s10 to make it look good. keep it up man.

[Driveway Kustoms]

wow thanks man, but believe me your truck is still along the same lines if not better- did you ever get that door painted

[Oldskool94]

No i have to order some things like cab cornors bedside panel rollpan and plate box and mirriors then im repainting the whole truck.

[Driveway Kustoms]

cool, good luck with it man

[Mcfly Minis]

Where are you in NY?

[Driveway Kustoms]

kingston, halfway b/t the city and albany

[Oldskool94]

how excatly did you wrap the crushed velvet did you use glue and if so what kind?

[hoppy45]

YESS!! where are you getting it from?

[Driveway Kustoms]

stl drgn- i used 3m adhesive and it was like $20 but is worth every penny, ive used cheaper shit in the past and it was just that....shit as for wrapping, just take them down and make sure you glue the area to wrap around the back, as for the glovebox, my front will unbolt and a plastic piece goes on the back of it and i just used it as a retainer and it keeps it in there well- hard to explain but an easy concept

hoppy45- ive had it for well over a year now and i bought it thru grant/sd

[Driveway Kustoms]
