Aryan's S10 Hot Rod

I'm trying to talk him into some color. He wants it flat black with flames. The truck could have a slick paint job without too much work. We will see.

Steve seems to be on this green kick... maybe Aryan should go with green????

nice,get that cowl hood and off to the spray booth!I need some $ I can get you a blue 1 in real good shape just like Johnny's shh! it is johnny's don't tell him.he is selling everything! lol

lol.. Bring it on down Glenn. lol
It didn't take long for the thugs to see the S10. We walked out this morning and the right door was wide open and someone had went through the console. There was nothing in it to take but I guess they thought it was easy picken's. They left there pop bottle lid in the driver side seat and booked it before anyone seen them. I guess it's time to turn on my camera again and start recording. Nothing worse than a thief to me.

That burns me. I can't believe the nerve of people!

I once heard a police officer say;"1 of these days I am going to respond to a call where someone has shot 1 of those kids etc.that were in their car!and i am going to ask the owner shaking my head no do you have a gun again shaking my head No to them" thats what he gets for getting into someones stuff that does not belong to them!

Your truck is looking better and better Aryan:)

looking good man...


that night someone got in the truck i got woke up by something but didnt bother to look out the window i fiqured it was the cat or the 2 birds making noise, im just glad they didnt take anything usually im at the window looking out to make sure everything is safe that must have been a rough night....

I found Aryan a hood for $120.00. It's a pin on but that is okay.

I got some Nasson paint! pretty wild color you can have if you gonna use it.

He's stuck on flat black for some reason. I still have plenty to do around here so it won't see color till sometime this summer.

I went out to the garage last night and got Aryans hood pinned down and the wiper cowl bolted on. It was nice to get back out there and get something done now that it's not freezing.

I painted my talgate. I put my stiker on.

The red tailgate stuck out like crazy so we spray bombed it.

We also cut the rest of the sticker up and made this. It looks a little funny on the windshield so we will be scraping it off.

Aryan what are we going to do with the birds? They seem to be making a mess in the back of your truck.

i'd blame the damn trees, but i dont think thats the case with where the truck is parked....

Just for the nay sayer. Yes Aryan works on his own junk. We help him out but he is the boss over his S10. Note the painted black finger from painting on the tailgate. I was told by a club member that it was my truck. I said no it's Aryans. He said yeah but it's yours. Let me tell ya. All my kids have their own rides and trust me they are their rides. lol.

Aryan wanted to take his S10 down in Eastern Kentucky for a car show Carter County Cruisers were doing. He made enough money that he bought some primer, tape and some odds and ends. It was a mad thrash to say the least. He made it home from school at 3:00 pm and we worked on it straight through untill it was done at 3:00 am. 12 hours straight. Few hours of sleep and we were headed down into Ky.
Here Aryan's taking off his taillights.

We did a little engine work. Cleaning up some bad vacuum lines and some other stuff. The heater control even on cold still let hot air blow in the cab so we by-passed the heater. When it gets cold he can put the hoses back on it.
We yanked the chrome grille and was thinking about running this Oldsmoble Grille. He may put the chrome grill back in but he can switch them around for a while to see what he likes.

Sanding, sanding and some more sanding. We did a little body work while we were at it.

Before we laid any primer on it we needed to address the lip that was cutting the edge of the tire. We were switching the lowering blocks but still wanted to remove that sharp inner fender lip. I showed Aryan the ol' aluminum bat trick. This isn't for the fragile car owners. Watching your wheel well rolled out 1/4" from where the factory put them is scary. It also rolled the sharp lip up. I did them both and then let Arayn have a turn to show him how to do it without wrinkling anything.

Corey was a big help getting everything done in one day. The truck was so dirty he had to wash most of the chrome and glass with windex so the tape would stick.


Aryan hasn't figured out yet that when his hands are dirty to not wipe his face with them. This was still early. I don't think I have ever seen him that dirty as he was when he quit for the night.

It was so hot and humid that the primer tiger striped trying to get it to lay a wet coat. I ened up scuffing it back up and mixing it my way and by the time I shot it the weather had cooled off a bit. It laid out pretty well then.

Aryan scoped out a front plate I have had hanging on my wall for years. He had never read it. After he seen what it said I could not talk him out of it. He thought that was the coolest tag. The poor kids has had someone break into his truck 3 time already. There is nothing in it to steal. Not sure why they keep picking it.

He's ready to back up what it says too. You know it was a mock up picture just for kicks but he wanted this photo on here.lol

Time to tackle the blocks. We took out 3" lower blocks and added 2" blocks. It was a pain the way the old owner did the u bolts but we got it fixed right now. Between raising it 1" and the baseball bat trick it worked out perfect. We had it loaded down with a cooler, canopy, chairs, and more. It never rubbed once even with me and Aryan hitting a few hard pot holes on the way down and back. It's funny how 1/4" out and 1" up fixed it. It was close before but now she's perfect.

A few hour of sleep and we was on the road. Thanks Corey and Amy for your help. We would have not got her ready in time without you guys. Aryan you worked hard and did what ever it took to get it finished for the run. I'm proud of you son!


Rewards for his hard work. It doesn't matter how many trophies you get. It doesn't matter if you are a trophy whore or just don't care. No matter what the size or what it's for you always remember your first car trophy award and it seems to mean more than any of the rest you will ever get. This is Aryan's first trophy.
