sidetracked

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Not sure you would call this your typical pro-touring platform, but it's had suspension mods, engine, interior.
Pretty much nearing the end but their will be some more pics to follow as well.

This is one of my personal projects which was originally started where the only intentions were to install a 383, paint and drive, as you can see i've done a little bit more than originally anticipated.

Here is what I started with. It gets better as you scroll through the pics. lol

Here's the seats that ace wrapped for me, I think they turned out great.

I'll have some more pics to come, this one is about finished up.

[RicerwannaB]

Nice build, the truck looks great!

[Auto Rod Technologies]

I have another project half into production that I'm thinking about putting on here that is kinda in the same category as this, but more extensive. If anybody desires I will put it up as well???

[wellis77]

Post it!!! Sidetracked is a great build. I really like the dash and console.

[LS3 HQ]

That interior looks pretty cool. Love the whole truck. I'd be happy to see the other one you have on the go.

[linkstar69]

Neat truck. That interior is something special :)

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Yea, the interior is one of my favorite parts of the whole project, I will try to get the other one posted up later tonight.

[Bryce]

Looks good!

I'll be damned. That dash you have is almost EXACTLY what I have drawn up in autocad 3d for my car. Yours turned out very nice. The whole truck is super clean, keep at it.

[dug]

here is what I had drawn up. ok ok, almost exactly the same...

[dug]

oh, and do you have more pictures of how you built your dash? is it stainless or is that aluminum?

[Auto Rod Technologies]

here is what I had drawn up. ok ok, almost exactly the same...

Wow.. a few more bends but similar.. If I knew autocad i'd be dangerous. lol

[Auto Rod Technologies]

no more pics really, well i'll find my photo album link and add it in, but not much more, my buddy has a break with a round bar set up on it, so i have him the sheet and had him bend that part up. since then i've made a set up to bend my own. I didn't think it was going to work but to my surprise it works rather well.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

look at the generic setup we came up with to bend the rounded dash on my brothers blazer project I posted up. not the same but you can make all kinds of different tools out of stuff laying around if your creative.. He never finished his, he stopped at the bottom half for some reason. he will probably get to it soon.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Here's a little video I took of it's first trip down the road..

Is that a top fuel hydro in the background??? hmmmmmmm

Looks good Chad, have fun!

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Ya this place is packed with all sorts of stuff, it's amazing the level of quality that is in this place. I didn't get much time to look things over but there was a sweet cuda and a second gen camaro I am definetely going to have to check out a little better.

[dug]

thanks for the info. I'll check out your link to the pics.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

New pulley system, works much better!!

[Doodler]

That interior style is usually hit or miss for me. But you completely nailed it! Just awesome. It's a lot of work to make stuff look simple and clean. Nice work!

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Thanks, it took me a while to decide on the look I wanted. Wanted something a little different and clean.

[FRENCHBLUE72]

Truck turned out great thanks for postin up the pics...

[acegto]

Any pics of the bed???

[Auto Rod Technologies]

I could take a few, nothing special, stock floor with tubs and a notch.

[ArtosDracon]

That might be my favorite aftermarket S10 dash ever, too bad you guys are so far away, I could use one for my blazer build.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

I actually thought about making a few dash's to sell but then I sold my guinea cab and decided not to, appreciate it though.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

A little vid my brother made up and some bed pics in there as well.
