S10 build up for kid with Epilepsy

Edited: 3/12/2009 11:16:21 AM by TwistedMinis

Edited: 3/7/2009 10:12:46 AM by TwistedMinisSome club members and I, along with a few friends are going to be doing a charity build of sorts. Not necessarily for a charity, but for what we feel is a good cause. This kid has been hanging around the club for a while now, and since meeting us he won't stop talking about getting a bagged truck. He has Epilepsy and Turrets, as well as a speech impediment. He has been working, and saving money all year, and recently bought a first gen S10.
 
We are going to pull together and help him build this thing. A lot of us will be donating our time, as well as some parts to the build up. If anyone else would like to donate some parts to help out, let me know. It would be greatly appreciated, by him and all other parties involved. I can put together a list of items that are needed. I am starting out by donating some sleeve bags, and valves.


I also intend to ask Mini Truckin' if they are interested in doing any kind of write up on this. If not, I will probably at lkeast do a tech article on properly installing sleeve bags.

 
Thanks,
Seth

Check the forums, they (StreetSource) were trying to make some changes and had a mjor glitch. fouled up some threads, deleted some posts, and even canx some threads. They caught it though and all remaining will be ok. Sucks, but such is life!

I couldn't even find this post the other day. Here is an updated list of what this truck still needs.~ Airline~ Compressors~ Valves 3/8"~ 3" Red Prothane Bushings (3 sets)~ Bump Stops (The set we received one was split in half and isn't really usable)~ Red Limit Straps (Can't really order until suspension is started)~ Drop Spndles~ Tube adapter and misalignments from Ballistic

You have a rendering in the mail Seth.

I should have clarified on the bump stops. I still just need the universal low profile round pucks with a 3/8" stud from ES.   Here's the rendering Brian did.http://keg-media.com/samples/twisted_s10_sml.jpg

rendering looks good, good luck with the build

Nice rendering! Keep us updated. Good Luck!

Rendering came out great, can't wait to see some progress.
