I sure hope so. If I do have it, I will for sure be at CC&C in her. Actually every single part will swap right over, the GT was built on the same 2wd truck chassis as my S10, unlike the Syclone that was built on a 4wd truck chassis... But I'm revising my ghetto shit.. going to make this a proper restomod and keep it all clean, take my time doing it and not making the same mistakes I did the first go around.

I am a firm believer in the "everything happens for a reason" no matter how shitty.... So as many of you know my 1992 Hoopty S10 was stolen and wrecked on July 17th, My inspection looks like the frame horn is twisted in. although the truck is still drivable, I don't want to throw money at it or have it turn into a money pit.. Well, The good news is I'm buying a 1992 GMC Sonoma GT. 141,000 miles, Perfect interior, body kit is intact and in good condition. paint is a little rough but the body is solid, the frame has little to no rust... What I would call a "barn find" even the original steel wheels are in perfect condition. It's not finalized, but I've got the loan approved and should have it in my possession on Friday at the latest.

I mean.... if it wasn't so damn humid just roll the windows down and let the sun bake it.. lol but for real, shop-vac as much excess water as possible and probably just put a dehumidifier in it

My truck has been "broke into" several times over the last three years. When I lived off Hall road, the head unit got stolen, couple times they got into and just tore shit up like the center console and tablet mount on the dash. In westgate it's only been gotten into like twice, never took anything other than change in the cupholder < I don't keep valuables in the truck, so I usually never lock the doors. . I wholeheartedly agree with that, as well as a few other "anti crime" measures... But that might hurt peoples feelings, or inconvenience someone that isn't a victim in a crime.

That is what we are assuming, since the ONLY things of value they stole were my wheels/tires (which are about $6-700) They didn't take any tools from the garage except for my floor jack (which is in the charger still) some jugs of oil, gas cans, etc. When we got to the impound lot, both cars smelled like they had been soaked in gas, even the officer my dad was talking to mentioned it. Guess they were going to torch the cars and shit they didn't need/want to get rid of all the prints or whatever... Detectives are coming tomorrow to check for prints in the garage, and window where they got it, so hopefully that leads to an arrest..

My truck unfortunately stays parked in the street, had it been in the driveway, I would have heard it for sure since my room is on the same side of the house.

Both my 1992 Hoopty S10 and my step mom's 2006 Charger. Along with two Wheels/tires I had not put on my s10 yet. Both car were recovered this morning off south high steer, the charger in the walmart parking lot and the s10 stuck in the mud. Both cars were wrecked, the charger is possibly totalled, s10 looks to just be sheet metal damage. Appears most stolen items were left in the back seat of the charger, but the two loose wheels were not found. So, If you guys could keep an eye out for TWO 19" Verde Parallax wheels (black with machined face) with brand new 275/40 Sumitomo HTR Z III. That'd be appreciated. My dad is dealing with insurance for me, since it's on his policy. So I don't know what will come of that, I was able to drive my truck home...but it's pretty banged up.

Damn, Congrats man!

As of now the suspension is still holding together, has not settled much if any. Think I've gone to 4 clicks compression and 2 clicks rebound. Exhaust is holding up, need to replace a band clamp that I messed up. And not sure what the hell caused it but my muffler it starting to.....wrinkle, like huge grooves around the circumference of the case, only guess would be afterfire expanding in the muffler? Doesn't sound weird yet but I'm looking at going to a Spintech sportsman 3000 to go in it's place. And FINALLY Got the tires installed... Still need to order the front adapters. But I got the rears on already. Went with a Sumitomo HTR Z III in 275/40r19, already got the corrected tune flashed for the smaller tires, ready to test them out lol And speaking of tune, Last adjustments I dropped the PE to 50% throttle, 0s delay and pulled a total of around 5 degree at WOT. "seems" to pull a lot harder. peak is 26deg at 0.52/5600

"new spot" for tonight is lowe's/Great southern shopping center on south high...South columbus, super trashy area. :/ Even I'm sitting this one out.

^^^ This.

Gotta pass, have a birthday party I said I would attend....also help with getting the house ready..

Finally looking to get new tires ordered for my S10 and I need to somewhere to install the tires.. Don't want the lip of the wheels beat to hell or the powder coating inside screwed up/pitted. Working with 19x8.5 wheels and 255/45 tires that I'll probably order from tirerack

Well she's back on the steer, made two all new pipes between the headers and muffler. got one leaky band clamp... Replaced the steering shaft with one that still has good u joints and the damper isn't falling apart. Did end up making it out to CC&C Saturday kinda late. drives amazingly, only thing I really have to compare it to is my dad's Charger Daytona R/T but it rides and handles very similar save for my shit tires. Only negative I've noticed in the roughly 25 miles I've driven it is....SO MUCH VIBRATION BEING TRANSMITTED TO THE STEERING WHEEL, Using poly shock bushings probably didn't help either. But I can live with that considering how well it handles now. Still need to get her up to lucore to get an alignment, but other than that I think it's done for the summer until I can afford new tires.

Holy crap

I never take anything that is picture worthy D: but there were some sexy ass cars last week.

Should have uploaded these and put them in the last post. But heres where I'm at now. http://68.media.tumblr.com/e30005f6be72ea63d0d962837574d4fd/tumblr_opylqkRAgR1suerqbo1_1280.jpg http://68.media.tumblr.com/a7c4711fa88eeaec3bf7bffda0c7c0f2/tumblr_opylqkRAgR1suerqbo2_1280.jpg http://68.media.tumblr.com/8723ad9a747523760a61ca0740fefff7/tumblr_opylqkRAgR1suerqbo3_1280.jpg http://68.media.tumblr.com/02a6f42a2ca9d87955fe8bbe3b41f775/tumblr_opylqkRAgR1suerqbo4_1280.jpg Everything seems to be moving freely, with no binding though I did notice the tire hits the upper control arm at full droop (will literally never see full droop in normal use) gonna bust my ass Friday to get it finished and cleaned up, then there is a 100% of her being at CC&C saturday morning. I'm so stoked to have my baby back so I can stop driving around dad's land yacht silverado... Also been working my ass off double shifting So I should be able to order the new tires in two weeks

Thanks doc, 👍 trying to get some more of my friends out on the weekend doing stuff that doesn't involve all of us getting drunk. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk

Thanks man, totally down. trying to finish up the exhaust on my hoopty so I can take her out. 740 meet was the one in 2015 at buckeye raceway or whatever on west broad right?

Hit up the meet over in the old Chantry shopping center last night, honestly just a bunch of idiots trying to race... Curious for this weekend, are there other meets elsewhere? like is Polaris still a thing?

Finally got shit sorted! coils I installed didn't work, sat nearly on the bump stops, so I ordered a set of viking coilovers and I just got them installed yesterday after work... got them adjusted this morning collars are about 1½-2" up and is about stock height. knobs are both at 4 clicks. threw it all back together this morning and just took it around the hood.... speed bumps are soaked up like my dad's 2006 charger. feels so much more planted than stock.. all that is left is get the front end aligned and hook the exhaust up... Super excited for this now.

Friend of mine is looking for a Turbo Manifold for a I4 2.8l.... Colorado Anyone here wanna tackle making one or have a suggestion of where to go to get one made? and before anyone asks, No idea why he wants to turbo the 2.8 and not ls-swap it....

SWEET MOTHER OF ALL THINGS HOLY! That sounds amazing! Wanna tackle making a set of 180 headers for an ls-swapped s10 loljkjkjk

I WANNA HEAR IT!!!! holy crap it looks so amazing in the car

If I can get my suspension fixed by then, I will be there...
