John's 87 S10 - Epilepsy build up
For those of you who have not been following this, John recently bought an 87 S10. He is a kid with Epilepsy and Tourettes that has been hanging around the club for a while, and he decided he wanted his own bagged truck. So we are making ti happen for him. Many people have donated parts for this truck, I would guess over $2k worth of parts. We received stereo equipment, air ride equipment, exterior and interior parts, almost everything needed to get this truck done. It's been several months now, and I finally have the truck in the shop. I am donating materials and hardware, and a lot of time.
This is the truck he brought home a few months ago. ![]() And a rendering that Brian @ KEG did. ![]() So I started tear down a few days ago. It came in like this. ![]() And today the notches are finished. ![]() ![]() I'd forgotten how much of a PITA 8-pieces notches where.

Re: John's 87 S10 - Epilepsy build up
Started on the upper bag mounts today. I haven't decided if I want to dimple the plate or not. The holes are spaced out with it in mind, but I'm not sure which way I want to go yet.

Re: John's 87 S10 - Epilepsy build up
Spent most of today doing exhaust work on an Audi S4. But I got the 3-link tacked up. I'm not going to fully weld it until I get the panhard bar tacked on and cycle the suspension.

Re: John's 87 S10 - Epilepsy build up
Maybe in the future, but not right now. I can't afford to donate that kind of time.
This is actually moving slower than normal for me, because I am working on other projects at the same time to keep money coming in.

Re: John's 87 S10 - Epilepsy build up
Got the Panhard bar built and cycled the suspension. The closes the bolt on the upper link gets to the bag is about 1/2" when it's fully compressed. It's a little close for me, so I am going to swap the bushing out for a rod end with misalignments, and I will be able to move the bar over about an inch.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the second picture you can see the bar is installed level at ride height. It may look unlevel, but it is because the panhard bar is angled back, and is further away from the axle on the DS. But I measured many times to make sure. It's also installed to put the roll center height right around the bottom of the pumpkin. A little bit lower than stock.

Re: John's 87 S10 - Epilepsy build up
Coming along very nicely. I love watching your work come together.
I gotta find that fuse-block I got for this thing. I had it a couple days ago and then did some cleaning, now I can't find the dam thing. Figures right? Try to get mroe organized and THEN I can't find the s**t I need...
