Sedes body dropped w114

Damn, that's a whole lotta cutting and welding! I have a question tho : since the car was a unibody, how will you fix the body on the frame? You'll use the stock S10 body mounts and adapt from there?

Yep that's why I used the s10 firewall and as much of the floorboard as I could,that had 6 original body to frame mounts and cut some of the mounts off the frame that held the bed and relocated them,the s10 floor took me to the front of the rear tires and I built trunk bracing with 1" sqaure tubing and made than had to make everything else from there with 20 gauge ( I used 3 -- 4'x8' sheets)

Seat belt tank straps were a genius idea! What radiator is that?

Thanks
Its a universal radiator from Jegs

I made a makeshift switch box from an old switch box that was broke on the top so I flipped it over and made a plate

I made straps to hold the air tank down with the old seat belts

I made a cover to hide the air management thats held down by the tank

The radiator hangs so low it's the first thing that'll hit so I welded a 3"by 1/4" thick piece of steel directly to the frame with back braces and another piece of plate to the front after lined up the front so it will tuck under the front valance

Haha look at sedes coming along I helped with a good 50% or at least the metal work then A.D.H.D kicked in and I couldn't do the rest I'm so thankful for you being the absolute brains for the whole project or there would be no way possible that this would of ever came about from my stupid ideas lol

I shorted the seats so his head wouldn't hit the roof-I thought they came out pretty cool
