Looks great, if I were to choose, I would paint mine red because that was the color my first one was.Looks like you spliced in a sub frame.That is also somthing I think I wish I did vs the Mustang II. I had just an awfull time geting my steering to go around that W block and back into the rack,I hope it was worth it.I think my motor is built a little more for a daily driver than yours lol.I'll get some pics as I go, I am doing the fun time consuming stuff now, making sepentine belt brackets,exaust,engine TBI wiring

The clip is an s10 normaly everyone uses a camaro or nova but frame wigth on s10 is perfect and has the disc and p/s i needed ,the only problem was the exaust ,headers would not fit ,stock manifolds were not even close ,i had to buy Sanderson cast inon headers from summitt $370 but they were a direct bolt in,ride height is wherei wanted it ,you can see exaust and build on my photo albumn ,the site will not let me post any more pictures on Project Jornal i dont know how to clear it and start over ,i have about 40 of build to date in photo albumn ,,looking to phoyos of your build.
