Default Hello From Manitoba

Hey Guy's

Little intro:

My names Matt, been working in a machine shop since the age of 15 I gained my journeyman ticket shortly after graduating high school, I want to learn anything and everything I can while being a member of this site.

This is the project I've been dealing with for 3.5 years now, granted its Just an S10 but I've poured a lot of my self into it, where I want to do the majority of the "noticeable metal work" is in the engine bay and the bed.

Some details about the truck.
97 sonoma RCSS.
Used to be on air but now rides on Ohlins coil overs.
Tube front arms 3 Link rear suspension, splined sway bars
Full Float Ford 9"
RCR Nationwide SB2 motor (changed the cam and carb)
MVE NC500 4 spd Mag bell housing 7.25" 3 disc ceramic clutch
Brakes are still up on the table.

Here's how the truck will look when finished.



I still have a lot of work to do on this truck but it is 70% done. If any body wants to see progress on the truck I will start a build thread.

I look forward to enjoying my stay here.

Thank's

Matt

Thank you everybody!

Gil,
looks like your working on a 49-54 chevy truck? Kind of hard to tell from the avatar.
