CAN YOU SHOW THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FRONT END ID LIKE TO SEE WHERE YOU CUT THE WHEEL WELLS AND THE REAR SLAM IM WORKING ON MY FRAME NOW ITS IN ITS OWN THREAD ON THE TRUCKS WORKBENCH I HAVE TO UPDATE IT

Posted

I can try and get some pics this weekend, I don't have any of the underside on my laptop right now. I originally cut the fenders out to have it lay frame, but after I z'ed the rear of the frame I liked the nose-high aired-out look so I just left the front suspension at stock height.

here's a whole s10 thread: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38668&hl=

My 1:1, 99 sonoma 4.3 auto. Smokey caramel metallic paint, Bravada front bumper, ss street scene mirrors, 18in ridler 695's, De-badged and de-striped, cut bump stops, leather/power seat swap. Hoping to get the full zq8 suspension package on it here soon(front coils, leaf springs, shocks, and front/rear sway bars) and also tint the windows, clear headlights, smoked tails and a magnaflow exhaust.

Oooooh I love me some S-Series trucks! I dig the pics, 1:1s and models. I've got a few planned for the hobby bench but like Jared said, my full scale needs some attention this spring. MN weather had been teasing us these past two months.

Jared, I just went through that thread that you linked, I was thinking about that when I saw this one but couldn't remember how long ago it was. Your truck has come a long way from that first pic you posted, looking good!
