.?????? Have you had his testosterone level checked?

We built that when he was in high school and I wasn't thinking about his minimum pay job trying to feed a built 383
It made s10 4 cly look pretty good for a daily driver and that was the gateway drug to boosted imports and lifted cummins

Heres a few pics of cutting the windshield frame,I bent some 5/16" rod to the contour of the top so I had a little more to weld to and grind on

[Jimfred]

When I first started this project I was going to use 1/2' lines and solenoids left over from my sons s10 project[plus it was free] but a few years ago I saw the accuair setup and had to have it so I took out the old setup and replaced it with there E-level set up with touchpad and keyfob,I used 2 viar compressors and tank I already had

How tough was this to do? AccuAir Hawks the Airpod setup saying youll save 15 hours, Bot Im thinking of buying everything but the tank and making my own so I can hide everything underneath and in the rocker boxes. Airpod justs seems so bulky being in one big peice is all.

There Airpod is a nice piece if you have the room for it or it's going to be seen but saving 15 hours is ridiculous.Not unless there talking about building show brackets but if your building good brackets to hold your compressors and solenoids the rest is just plug and play,I thought placing and the geometry of the leveling sensors took more thinking
One thing I will say is everything I've got from Accuair is of the best quality and most thought out products I've ever bought-(and no I'm not sponsored,just a regular guy in his garage at home)

Super clean work. I like that position for the front sensors- used that spot myself, but went to the upper arm to clear the sway bar. Keep it up- this thing is great!

Nice work!

Thanks
I was looking at your build threads and wow super clean

[Jimfred]

Ok heres were a little more OCD kicks in,it always bothered me that I could lay the frame on the ground but the rockers were still a 1-1/4" from touching

You have to remember I started building this truck over15years ago when pro street was cool so I narrowed the rear end to fit 31.5"x16.5"x15" and I had wheel vintiqes make me some 15"x12"rims with a 10" dish-
Hind sight is 20/20 and I don't like back seat drivers

[Dale99]

I'm not questioning you. Its your truck, and your vision. But I thought you did it to hide all the suspension. I use to see that quite a bit at shows.

Oh no
I didn't think you were questioning me,I'm joking on myself,over the years it's went so many different directions I'm not sure what I what the thing will end up being,that's just part of dealing with my OCD,ADHD personality I can get really focused on a project and know exactly what I want it to look like and work like a mad man on it then BAM push it in the corner and go just as hard on another project in a different direction then another and another til I come back to the blazer which might be 2 months or 2 years and by then there's a new vision for it so I will spend another month deconstructing it again.
It use to bother me but now I've gotten older and understand it better,now it's kind of funny to me,if I could have finished it 15 years ago it would have been cutting edge,but now there's bagged blazers laying frame everywhere.
I think this project is my therapy

Oh no,it's all bolted together,lined up and tacked but I still have to weld the whole outside perimeter
Still a long way to go
But I can finally tuck nuts

[Dale99]

Still a lot of work done in 7 days.
