i wish that was the case. If you saw the list you would be shocked at how much is left to do. I am hoping to have it complete by the Power Tour but i am not sure i can do it.

Who cares if it is done by this power tour. You are taking your time and doing every little detail perfectly. I dont see power tours ending any time soon. When it is done, you can take it on power tour and know that everything is perfect and not rushed. I always wanted to build aV6 4.3 twin turbo for a corvair. I love that you are using this engine. Everything on your truck is custom formed so it takes time. When you are done you will most likely have the best and funnest S-10 the world has ever seen.

ya know i couldn't agree with you more.

I slightly burned out working to much and i am trying to finish my garage so i can have heat in my garage. Who would of thought framing in an attic for parts and insulating would cost 1,000 in materials alone.

Marty, nice to see the truck at home, give me a call I'd love to give you a hand, plus it would give me a excuse to return your tool.

Happy Wednesday,

Okay I wanted to send this out yesterday but I just plumb ran out of time.

Carter Hickman is the man.
He did an incredible job on the 3-D rendering of my truck.

It has the actual wheels, Brakes, exhaust cut out & bed cover.

If your looking for idea's as to what you ride may look like.
Send him a e-mail. ( [email protected] )

If you want to see some of the other renderings he did you can view them here.

Carter has got to be one of the best vendors I have every worked with.
End of Story!!!

Very nice. Looks great. I hope we meet at the power tour. If not, we got plenty of time. It's all about having fun.

Good Morning All,

Okay I haven't had time to work on the truck the last two weeks.
Seems working on the Garage has taken precedence. It's very hard to be in the garage when it's 20 degrees.

I needed to build an attic so I could have a place to put the parts once I disassembled the truck.
So plans are to build an attic over the front half of my garage.

Sixteen twenty foot 2 x 8's, ten sheets of 1/2" plywood & twenty-one eight foot 2 x 6's later we have an attic.
Next time I plan to get some friends to help. Those 20 foot 2 x 8's are brutal to lift by your self.

Eight more Ten foot 2 x 6's for the vaulted ceiling (need the height for the lift).
Did I mention I hate ladders let alone working at 12 feet in the air?

Now it's time for the itchy stuff.

Okay the back half of the garage is Insulated.
Now I need to put up a temporary wall and insulate the new attic floor.
I almost forgot -- I really need to clean up this mess.
