| Thanks.I know S-10's don't have a solid front axle,but some of the 1/1's are converted to them. |

| S-10 Build Here's a pic of the frame with the cross members and axles mounted.The frame is made out of 3/16 alum.I got it at a place that makes coal truck dump beds.When they trim pieces off of a part they are making they put them in a big dumpster.What a gold mine!Very cheap too.Three bucks for a long straight piece.Another good source for thin alum are sign shops.They usually have a white coating on their alum so it makes it easier to draw on.Thats where I got the material for my clod chassis.  |

|  S-10 Build Here's a mockup pic of the body.Still have to lose the chrome headlights and blackout the grill,trim the flares and the front and back bumper.Anyone know anything that will remove decal glue without harming the body?Don't use a heat gun and try scraping it off!I put a small crack in the top trying that.  |

| There is this stuff called goo be gone or somthing like that and it works very well at taking that residue off the bodies. |

| WD40 works great on glue just make sure it doesn't react with the plastic. I have used it on lexan, If you work fast it shouldn't be a problem. I would try a little on the inside just to make sure. |
