Just thought i would say whats up to you guys...had to get a new user name and such because i forgot all my old stuff. I had the 68 camaro project i was working on and then i sold that, currently got one pro-touring ride a blown 79 Z28 which was in the pics section before the message board obviously got a new face lift...dunno if its still on here or not haven't really searched any for it.

Now im working on a new project i've been killing myself over for the past 8 months. Its a reg cab shortbed 87 S10 that i've dropped a LS1 and 6 speed into, Moser 12 bolt with 33 spline axels and eaton posi, Denny's nitrous ready shaft, currently shaving the entire body including the firewall...just going to be a straight up no nonsense performing and handling truck. Well the best handling i can make a truck anyway. Future plans motor wise are probably heads and a cam, maybe a magnacharger or turbo setup...or a 150-200 wet shot. I've got 275/40/17's on all 4 corners with 2002 Camaro SS 10 Spoke 17x9's. Im swapping out to a hydroboost brake setup and putting a BAER touring system up front and i running 11" torino drums in the rear. I've also dropped the truck down 2/3 but im about to add ZQ8 springs in the front an a 1" billet block on the rear for a total 3.5/4 drop. Im also running Cal-Trac traction bars, and replaced all the suspension componants with MOOG parts and a 12.5:1 ratio ZQ8 power steering box. Here's just a couple pics of the new project....please excuse the messy shop, its clean now :rotfl:

Is your '79 called "Spooky"? Is this it?
