I know what you are capable of Tony, so I know this will be a cool project. If you sucked at everything, I'd just come find you and pee in your mouth, but you're awesome

so i dug around till i found a bedside and a passenger fender, mine were ate up with rust. found these both for $75 ha!! yep!! and not one single bit of rust...dents at all.
i know this is till the boring shit but i gotta start with all this crap to get to where i want it.
heres my rear frame notched and bag mounts. just raan it to a craftsman compressor but its coming along pretty good. my camera is screwed up so just cell phone pics for now.

haha i actually did man. put 2 in my upper control arms. funny you said that!!
heres some more shit going on this far:
got an air tank $20. just needs cleaned up:
had a little sag in the bed of the s10. happens to nearly all 1st gens over the years. really most dont care to fix or notice. i hate that shit, lol. gotta be nice and square before i do any exterior stuff. so i did a quick fix and simply shimmed the rear of the bed with these:
then i ran some gauges i already had. the needles were kinda screwed up i thought. found that it was simply the switches and not the needles. happy to be able to use them. pillar pod from jegs:
