Jared Roach Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) Well I just finished this for a April build off on another group. Here's a list of mods: Monogram Chevy s10 "waverider" Mechanical mods: - 5.3l LS swap - 6.2l escalade intake - A/C and heater delete - Custom motor mounts - Custom intake - Exhaust modified and custom tip - Lowered suspension (front springs and block in rear) - Notched rear frame for rear axle clearance - Big brake upgrade front and back - Aftermarket 19in wheels Exterior mods: - Shaved door handles - Shaved tailgate and rear end - Shaved gas door - Custom roll pan - Flip down hidden license plate - Hood and bed cover have scratch built functioning hinges - Shaved firewall - Bed cover smoothed and spolier removed - Custom two tone pearl white and gunmetal with red accent stripe Interior mods: - 65 Chevy truck dash narrowed to fit - 69 camaro buckets seats narrowed to fit - 99 Chevy Silverado door panels modified - Stock center console modified to be a 5 speed - carpeted floor This kit had some cool custom mini truck parts but it needed updating and so I think I achieved what I wanted. Thanks for looking. Edited April 30, 2018 by Jared Roach
mustang1989 Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Good grief!!!!!!!!! And that one's going............going............going...........................and that baby's gone. Right out of the park folks. Impressive. VERY impressive.
Oldcarfan27 Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Yours looks soooo much better than before. I always thought the original kit looked so hokey. Maybe I wasn't the only one, as I never see them built.
espo Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Outstanding rebuild on this little S10. The extra details with the license plate and the bed cover shocks add to the realistic look. I could see owning a 1:1 version of this. Great tutone paint job.
Jared Roach Posted May 4, 2018 Author Posted May 4, 2018 Thanks everyone. This was actually built from a unopened original kit, but I picked up this rebuilder not too long ago just to show the difference between my build and the original.
