also, if you want disc brakes, that car should have the same ball joint taper as an s10 so you can put a set of s10 drop spindles on it and lose some weight with disc brakes, just make sure u get a brake booster and master cylinder from a disc brake car too.

Now that I think about that more, aside from redoing the pedals I havnt seen any type of brake upgrades for these. I feel no need for better brakes though, did a full brake job on it awhile back and it stops pretty well especially with the slow 235 under the hood lol.

Finally started bagging the front today, I re-did the lower arms so far. After taking a closer look I realized an re-7 wouldnt fit in there without major mods. Also Ive been curious about the Air lift Dominators so I decided to try out their 2500#'s. Im gonna start on the upper bag cups in the morning.

Actually yes I do just got done painting it last night, the car has so rust much in the doors there not even worth fixing. But I got a good set of doors I plan on installing later this year so for now I just sprayed over the rusty doors lol. When I get the doors on I will start bodywork, there is no filler on it right now. Mainly just sealin it up for the winter cause Im rollin the chevy luv back in the garage all winter for a BIG re-do.
