Thanks. If i can find some 4" fogs that look a little more factory, those are coming out. I'm going to work on the rollpan tomorrow and next weekend, we're going to try to finish up some of the wiring and get it started.

Updates:
Got some belltech nitro-active shocks coming in, along with red euro tail lights. I also picked up some powered leather seats out of a bravada, an overhead console, and an 8.5" posi rear end with disc brakes.
The rear end...work in progress...

Leather Bravada seats...




mock up of how the overhead console's going to look...


it was originally this long...but i chopped it to fit the s10.

That console has the homelink. I need to go back to the junkyard next weekend and grab more wiring off of the donor. The original owner had a big map light thing that looked severely ghetto, bolted to the headliner. I just wanted something better looking. TV in the compartment??? Pffft...not unless i find one on the junkyard =P

What is that supposed to mean...?

I don't think I had said that..?

And on a side note, drums also come in air also.

It's looking good Jaime, keep it going eh?

- Robbie ; Disc's and Drums both use hydraulic fluid(DOT3 only.) from the MC, to compress and push the pistons in both the caliper, and drum. Only difference, the caliper only pushes one pad, and when it is pushing that pad the caliper moves in towards the vehicle allowing the other pad to touch the rotor.

A drum brake pushes both, front and rear shoe against the drum.

How did you setup your parking brake on it there Jaime?

-Edit ;

Quote:
You should just get the rear disc conversion kit comes with everything you need, and seeing at the Gen.1 S10's already have a hydraulic braking system you don't have to change out your master at all.
I didn't say anything about the disc's not being hydraulic lol. Also, on that I was refering it to Air-Brake and DOT3 Hydraulic Fluid braking systems. Not mechanical.

I've been working on getting the body straight so I can shoot it one color. I got the seats hooked up and soon enough, I'll be fiberglassing the headliner and the dash.

Be sure to use extra hardener, I hear a 50/50 mix is best.
