That would be cool as shit lol. You should make it happen Cody. I'm sure they would sell so we could get Brandt to make them. Keep it Texas chapter but available for everyone.

Sorry bout the thread jacking ed. My last post on it til u post progress pics

Subject: Re: 1992 s10 acro project! Thu Jul 05, 2012 4:29 am

haha its alright man gunna have some pics today... i got 80 percent of the floor cut out good thing cuz we had some wicked storms go threw last night and this morning so it didnt act like one big kite.. but on the side note.. WTF have u ever heard of burning out two angle grinders.. the first one was 5 years old kind of expected it i put it through hell and back.. then went and bought one and lasted 5 minutes Twisted Evil

i dunno if its just me and thats why they call me Special or if it had something to do with the 100 degree weather and the humidity at 119.. dunno gunna find out today if i can burn out number 3 lol

Subject: Re: 1992 s10 acro project! Thu Jul 26, 2012 4:12 pm

alright well my nieghbor ended up giving me a nice dewalt shop duty angle grinder for free so i got working on my truck again got the rest of the floor cut out the pinch molding cut off and smoothed out made my template for the inner rocker that will fold underneath the bottom of the rocker just gotta cut out the 1/8 plate that im using and bend it up and weld it in.. but ive been tossing the idea around of doing a roaster with my truck not just cut the top off and cap everything but actually cutting the windshield down and possibly giving it more of a rake i really like that look and its something different.. what do u guys think about that idea?

Subject: Re: 1992 s10 acro project! Thu Jul 26, 2012 4:45 pm

so the first one is obviously the entire floor cut out and the pinch moldings gone and the second pic is the plates i made to go on the inside of the rockers made out of 1/8" plate i know its over kill but this is gunna be the base for where the floor comes off of and for the body mounts so thought i would over do it just to be safe lol.. its gunna be bent in and tucked up underneath the rocker and fully welded

Subject: Re: 1992 s10 acro project! Thu Jul 26, 2012 6:14 pm

Looks like u ain't afraid to cut shit up for sure.

Subject: Re: 1992 s10 acro project! Thu Jul 26, 2012 6:22 pm
