.
You might want to remove this from the benefits list as the upper control arm is to narrow to allow any slug but the center hole one. The arm does not have enough clearance at frame mount to offset it. I can send pictures if needed.

The past 2 week seem like they just flew by. I've been able to get the 3 link tacked up and some of the rear frame skeleton is coming together.

Boss showed up with his latest toy last week. Trying to talk him into a 10/10ths hpde day.
Since I do not foresee needing the welding table in the near future we did a little garage reorganizing. Clean garage is happy garage right?

Shouldn't of cleaned the garage or moved #axs10. Had a stranger message me on FB saying he's had 6 different guys tell him I'm
the guy to fix his car. 22hrs later he has dropped a "bagged" big block Chevelle off for a once over. 30 minutes into inspection it's determined that the shop that did his suspension wanted him to die. Plans were made to ditch the "minitrucker" suspension parts for some well planned ridetech underpinnings.
Chevelle still fit with the S10 and y daily.
Tore down ready for reassembly. Decided to go with a disc brake conversion while we we had it apart.

I lose everything when I clean up
Truck looks like it is coming along. What are your plans to tie in that rear round tube section, cage?
That Chevelle looks very familiar but can't place it.

The rear section will tie into the cage as suspected. The Chevelle belongs to a local guy who had been having the car built for the past 6 years. 4 different shops had left him less then satisfied and then he found me. The new ridetech suspension goodies are on along with some wildwood disc brakes and now he has decided to let me upgrade the air management. Here is how the car sits deflated. The 20/22 combo is not my thing but at least we know the suspension and brakes are safe now.

Well, it's been a while since I updated but there has definitely been some progress made on the #AXS10
Sat a 5.3L and turbo 400 in the chassis with a set of engine mounts from Christopher Kill. Plan was to check stock truck oil pan clearance and see how the cab cleared with the engine in the rear most position on the mounts.

Sat the cab on and bolted it up with a set of solid aluminum JT Raceshop cab mounts. With some floor reconstruction and firewall work the raceseat will fit just right and have room for me to set the engine 6" further rearward than a stock 4.3 would be and still have room for my large build. Also started my first roll cage build.

Was able to finish up the watts link a couple weekends ago also. I'm really starting to love the All Star Performance parts.
And of course, now it is pushed aside while I set a 3 link and ridetech Coilover system up for a customer. This little tan 82 will also be 5.3 powered but more street truck than the #AXS10.

I'd like to see more of this, I have a '94 S10 Blazer, ( see here. https://www.pro-touring.com/threads/...tine-front-end ) and it's looking like I'll be going with a three link, Did you use the front spring perches for the lower links? BTW tell George in sales that the HQ's in the front were a huge help...What are you doing up at 4:38 in the morning.
BTW the other S10 rear 3link / panhard turned out ok.

I have one of the HF Daytona "snap on knockoff" and one of the aluminum. No complaints on either. The aluminum is over 6 years old. Originally Posted by Motoracer838
