My version of the s10 swap

Even with the seam sealer problem your parts look good. I'm in the same boat with waiting for the right weather.

those inner tubs look great, it will be nice to keep water and grit out of everything including the headlights!

as for filler work, i'm no seasoned pro but have managed to do pretty good first few rounds. With body work, its like metal work. all about the highs and lows. easier to see with spraypaint or powders.

Yep, and next time it will be easier.

That was one of the driving forces behind the inners. Knowing where these all rust out (kick panels), it can't help but be from everything that the tires throw up there. Now those areas will stay clean and dry. Also bought a bunch of room for PCM, washer tank, overflow, MAF and air filter, etc. I thought about trying to start with s10 inners, but didn't get them with my donor.

How many 55-59's would still have their eyebrows if they had proper inner fenders......

New seam sealer went on tonight after spending 2 nights digging the old out. We'll see how it turns out this time.

I spent my free time this week digging out seam sealer....

I did manage to get it all out and replaced with a different brand, I hope to not have to do that again.








So then to put a positive spin on the week, I had these mounted up today!

I drove it today!

Last weekend I topped off the fluids and hooked up the cooling system. This weekend finished up a bunch of wiring, hooked up some grounds and double checked everything. Today I put the new wheels and tires on, started it up and pulled it out of the garage, down the driveway and turned around in the street. Worked great on it's first trip under it's own power. I let it idle in the driveway for a long while, cooling fan isn't turning on so I need to look into that. Big steps forward, getting very excited!



Don't mind the junk in the back, that's what happens to anything that sits in my garage more than overnight!






Received word from my body man that the fenders were painted yesterday. He ran out of clear so he didn't get the hood done, hopefully soon. More progress will come!
