First a thanks to the project threads on the s10 swaps...they were the only reason I took on my swap. rhodog77...man, I really appreciate your timely responses, posts and pics to my questions.

I drove my 48 for the first time in a year. It was a craigslist find, saved from the scrap yard. found an 82 s10 with a rough 350 in it. over the last year parts have been replaced, lots of cutting, fabricating, welding, cleaning, painting and swearing.

Without doors or a windshield, I drove it around the neighborhood for the first time this evening! Plenty left to do, probably lots more questions (sorry rhodog77), but a huge hurdle has been jumped! Just thought I would share and say thanks to everyone thus far.

A few pics of the transformation.

Can I get a HELL YEAH!!!!! Congrats man. I know that your smiling ear to ear. Im happy for you...I know that you have put in a ton of work. Keep it up!! Here the pix you asked for, a little late sorry. Looks like you probably dont even need them now. Like I said it aint pretty but It'll work. The fan pic is from the bottom looking straight up. Sorry for the bad pix kinda hard to get a good pic at that angle.
