Hello from Delaware
 
Hello everyone,
My name is Eric and I live in Newark DE, hence the 19713 in my user name. Thought it was time sign up to read and learn. I'm self taught though all I do is cut and weld. To build things the way I want there is a lot left to learn. Car guy through and through. Started out the mini trucker world though I am not one, hang around 4x4 sites but have never owned one, just a hotrodder at heart but not what you think. More of take something, anything, and make it your own.

Anyway, here are a few pictures of my last project. Little s10 that I back halved and had to sell off because of work (lack of). Click for bigger

The truck had a 3 link with Watt's link for the rear while the front had steel bushings, tall ball joints, tubular upper control arms and a big bar soft spring setup.

nice dime truck. if it was not for minitrucks i would have never gotten into fabrication. its a "gateway drug" into the shaping addiction. :lol:

welcome aboard!

Howdy...
I have back halved more than a few S-10s myself... S+W Race Cars makes a nice sub frame that makes it easy.....
Hopefully you can make it to one of the EMMR Meets next summer in York Springs Pa.
