Wagon's lookin good!

Now you got me thinking that I need to swap to the '78-'79 header panel again...

can't wait to see the finished product, as you've got a good idea of what you want it to do, and the direction to do it in! looks like you're creating some mad skills along the way!

love the idea of the fender vents, and the newer handles! :wink:

Thanks guys. It's gonna be a fun ride as this all plays out.

Blake 442- if you have a spare header and don't use it, I desperately need some grille inserts, mine are hammerd. I haven't had any luck trying to find replacements.

Yeah, and I love what your doin with the handles, I thought about doing that, so it'll be nice to actually see it first, because if ya shave the handles you gotta do way more work lol, like have battery terminals that u can get at in the event of a dead battery lol.

First love the wagon it is sick. But i am really interested in the brake upgrade. Do you have the s10 forum with the build? Also, you had the 12" rotors milled to fit stock g-body spindles? This is the easiest front brake build i have ever seen. Thanks!

Ben, very cool build! You've got a real talent for this stuff. Keep up the good work man!

azwagon- You have to have the stock G-body rotor milled down to a hub, i.e. have the area that the brake pad contacts the rotor cut off so all that is left is a hub with the studs and bearings. Hope that makes sense. The F-body rotor is a drop off rather than bolt on style so after you have a hub from your factory rotor it slips right on. Caution, this swap typically only works with 17" or larger wheels. The pre '98 12" f-body rotors and B body or second gen Camaro calipers and spindles will allow for 15" + wheels and is great idea, but you need those spendy off set control arms to compensate for the extra spindle height and they're outta my budget.

I'll try to track down a link to the LS1 brake upgrade in the next coupla days.
