Finally started the re-build...

Hope I can stay motivated, and keep the work happening. I took the fron end apart to straighten out the frame horns. Somehow I cut them off before I paced any reference lines on the frame, and basicly guessed at thier location LOL. So now I get to play around and figure out how to get everything right. Should not be too dificult, just a ot of trial and error(hopefully more trial than erreor )

PUNA!!!!! I am going to call you tomorrow, I need stuff!!!!!!

you can do eeeeet!

man ur truck is so clean.. keep it up and looking forward to the new work and hope you get to enjoy it even more!

CJ, that is exactly what I am working towards. Being able to enjoy it more. I was in such a rush to finish the Bdrop, that many corners where cut to save time. Well it is time to reatach the corners, and straighten this puppy out. I have a vision, hope I can follow through. Money will be a big factor, as it always is in a build, so i am not puting a time limit on it. I will keep posting pics as this progresses, maybe that will help me atay motivated.

hells yeah! look forward to seeing this thing even badder then before, and i can feel your pain on the money situation also, trying to redo mine on a budget to, but the more its just sitting there the more im wanting to change lol. whats all on the list for the dime? or is it g-14 classified haha

not too clasified. Gonna Cali-combo the back, and shave everything. Might back half it, havent decided yet. But I am doing a unique, one-of-a-kind paint job to match one of my Surfboards( I dont surf it as it was made a little too small for me, but it looks pretty ) . I am also tossing the idea of yanking the motor out, while the front is off, and cleaning up the firewall and so on.

killer plans!! I love the factory looking paint it currently has but new is always good also!

yup. I have always like the factory paint, but I am tired of it now, and it has a lot of scratches and dings to be worked out.Good things are coming. Keith is getting close to being ready for paint on his Dakota, and Smokey is going to be getting K-Fab and I to do work on his(someone has to LOL) .

Sweet, can't wait to see it finished, and I liked the factory look as well. but like CJ said change is good. Good Luck.

Hell Yeah! Keep us up to date bro!

MAN!!!! I got my new headlights in yesterday, plugged the harness back in, turned on the lights, and one of them is super dim. So I syuck the old bulb back in, and then I had no light at all. So I plugged the new one back in, still nothing!!!!!! Now I have to chase down a pc. O crap faulty wire..... arggggghhhhhhhhhhhh why can't anything just go smotthly on the truck!!! LOL

what kinda headlights did u get, one of mine was dim but it was as dumb as it not being plugged in all the way lol

Bet its a ground issue. That shit seems to happen often up here. Thats a nice truck man, you plans should put it over the top!

can't go smooth cuz its a custom build lol custom = headache for a while

I am thinking it is either a bad ground, or a short/cut wire from the bodydrop. I am getting ready to start running the problem down. Gotta go get new fuses for the tester, and then I am hunting till I find the fugger.
Mikey, they are made bt Injct, and are super sport lamps(made in China). They are conversions for my old glass headlights that allow me to use the H4 bulbs in them.

Oh and I know all about custom =headache. I built it the 1st time LOL.

So it was a bad ground after all. Found a broken ground wire(inside factory wire loom), for the passenger light. Repaired it, and all is well in bright light land . Now I just have to sandblast the core support, and repaint it. Might as well while it is out, rught?

Sounds like some good plans, and alot of work, but Im sure it will be worth it.

Good start can't wait to see the progress.

I have always loved this truck so much Russ, I cant wait to see more progress pics up!

HA HA HA, it so figures that I haven't done a lot to it LOL. Been surfing my ass of, and working a lot, so no real progress. I have taken even more shit apart though. Seems the more I look, the more I see that needs to be done. It is such an obsesion.

do work!!

did some work today. Got the frame horns cut, and bolted the fenders, coresupport, and bumper back on. Then got the adjustments done to the frame. NOw if Keith hadn;t come by and snagged my gas bottle, I could have welded it all back up. LOL Did I mention that I HATE the S-10's 3 pc. bumper!!!!!!

haha nice to know the progress is coming along..
