hi im just getting back in to building models, its been about 6 years since my last build, i never customized one before, the most id do would 2 tone the paint i know how sad compared to what you guys can do, im buliding a 1996 chevy s10 ss, i want to lower it 3 inches in front and 5 in rear, how would i convert/excute the drop on the model? also i want to put a 350 or some sort of chevy v-8 in it instead of the v-6 it came with, has any one done this? what do i need to do to make that work, any pics of the process would be awesome, also i ahve a 1984 gmc 4x4 that i want to convert to a 2wd stepside, to replacate my 1:1 if i ever get it done, how can i convert it from a 4x4 to a 2wd truck? any pics on that also would be great, and im sorry if this isnt the right place for this post thanks for any and al help.
