[99 to Life]

Well got a baby girl on the way, so been swamped with that. Finally got a few decent days this weekend, so I got my slab poured for my metal garage. Poured the slab at 20x24. Garage is 18x24. It was a bit cold and the concrete didn't wanna set up, so my finish is far from as smooth as I wanted. So I'm just gonna epoxy coat it over the spring or something. Now I gotta put up block and bolt the base down, then its just a matter of bolting up the walls, and roof. Once its up, this will be the home for this 49' in the pic. Got the s10 frame sitting ready to be bagged, I will take the metal off this frame and put it in garage and the fun shall begin. Can't wait. Will be working on baggin it first then probably the engine and then fitment of metal. Thats my guard dog Gretta!! Still working on my 52' parts during the week, so I'll be bouncing around. Had my 51' out and was gonna take it to pittsburgh but the front brakes are rubbing pretty bad and creating alot of resistance. I changed pads and that didn't solve the problem, so I think I got bad hoses and or calipers and or the aluminum spacers might be absorbing the heat and locking these up. Anyone ever have any problems with aluminum front spacers? The backs don't heat up at all, the front lugs get sooo hot you can't even touch em. Annoying, more crap to fix. So that is partially why I don't like getting the 51' out, I can't bare to have every single vehicle I own needing work. I just put cats on my silverado and I got more work to do to that truck. My s-10 has some issues and is my daily driver. But I'd rather put money into the new projects and of course all this new baby stuff I gotta buy.
