Not much to report as I'm still overseas....but my wallet has been busy!!

I ordered a set of UMI tubular control arms and a set of Wilwood 6 piston calipers and rotors for the front. I'll swap the rear for a wider one from a blazer, and do the vette brakes on the back.

I've been eyeballing those bolt in 4 link kits for s10's and might do that with some coilovers....haven't decided yet

I'll be home on leave in April and plan to get a little work done!!

Here's a newer shot of the truck. I have been driving the wheels off of it until the 60e bit the dust. I'm currently swapping an 80e and i'll be back on the road!
