First-Gen S10 Corner Carver

[jerome]

made plates to close off stock gas tank crossmember. It is now being used to mount upper link and swaybar





thanks for the motivation guys, would probably have just left the frame open if it weren't for the constant prodding



that's why I had to make those close-off plates




yeah, it's pretty frickin tight in there...

h-pipe will bend under the driveshaft

need to order another 3" mandrel bend for the other side. Didn't expect that 1 side to use up a full 180 degree u-bend save for about 15 degrees of it. Is it just cause I have cheap bends, or are all mandrel bends oval on the bend (yes, I cut it right, it's just not round)?

mufflers are dynomax ultra flo

Rearend is powdercoated, PHB powdercoated and done, gonna go pick 'em up tomorrow and take them to be assembled. Pics after assembly.

Waiting on tube inserts for link bars. Hopefully I'll have the bars done by next week and WE'LL BE ROLLIN'

Pushing to get everything underneath the cab done so that I can put it on and start fitting seats, pedals, column, etc. (everything I need to drive it)
