Well I got sick of my old car so I decided to get a different one. What I bought is a 1998 Chevrolet S-10. You might say oh, those look stupid. Wait till you see mine. Its sitting on 17'' chrome rims with slim tires, air bags all around, 8 gallon air tank, compressor, aluminum fuel cell, custom paint inside and out, everything shaved (no handles, rear lights ect.) custom sound enclosure behind the seats an everything. I will take more pics and a vid of it in action tommarow. For now here's some pics.

Update 6/28/09

So I got some different rims that I'm going to be using in the near future and also got some pics of under the hood and the subs. I am going to be chaning the subs out with the better subs in my other car if they will fit.

Wow!! lowrider.. nice.

Love the rims.

tmandt · « **Reply #3 on:** June 24, 2009, 07:39:32 PM »

its alright but you need better rims.

EliteGamer83 · « **Reply #4 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:16:15 PM »

The rims look great what are you talking about? haha

Just FYI OP, you may want to hide your plates.

Skullmaster · « **Reply #5 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:19:02 PM »

why, someone gonna come hunt me down?

As for the rims, the only way I will get different ones is if I get bigger ones, and I cant fit any bigger without cutting out the wheel wells or the body will sit on the tire

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #6 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:43:49 PM »

but neither does the sidestep look

Reaper · « **Reply #11 on:** June 24, 2009, 10:52:37 PM »

Not a fan of the bright red or slammed trucks, but the vehicle itself is pristine looking. Whats the motor/mileage on it?

Skullmaster · « **Reply #12 on:** June 25, 2009, 03:04:49 PM »

it does have tail lights and a third brake light, you just cant see them... I'll take a pic of them on to show you. as for those rims, I'm a fan of chrome not black. The engine is a 4 cylinder with 80,000 miles. I will take pics of the engine and so on tonight

FreeK · « **Reply #13 on:** June 25, 2009, 03:54:20 PM »

EliteGamer83 · « **Reply #22 on:** June 29, 2009, 07:18:14 AM »

Yeah those are much nicer.

Ha maybe you could put those bags to some good use haha:

Carro saltelante

budgray19 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 29, 2009, 01:03:28 PM »

thos are hydraulics
bags cant realy do that
they just lift and lower ur ride

EliteGamer83 · « **Reply #24 on:** June 29, 2009, 07:20:09 PM »

Dude when it's finished you have to get a video.

You must be pretty talented, not many people can just work on a truck (or car) like that by themselves in their free time.

budgray19 · « **Reply #25 on:** June 29, 2009, 10:05:41 PM »

yea hes good at welding
but he didnt make this truck

I didnt make this truck but I have made previous cars like my entirely custom built 1929 chevy sedan pictured below...

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #28 on:** June 30, 2009, 05:29:13 PM »

Wow... I assume you purposely gave it that aged "i'm gonna fall apart anytime now" look?

Skullmaster · « **Reply #29 on:** June 30, 2009, 06:16:25 PM »

yea. They are called rat rods. Basically its an unfinished hot rod.

Skullmaster · « **Reply #38 on:** July 22, 2009, 03:26:23 PM »

the last pics are taken at the Car Craft Summer Nationals last weekend. Btw, I drive it with the front all the way up and the back down so people stare at you constantly trying to figure out whats going on with it lol

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #39 on:** July 22, 2009, 03:30:21 PM »

LOL.... I want a car like that now haha.

blackburn · « **Reply #40 on:** July 22, 2009, 06:38:38 PM »

I'm sorry, but Ghetto Slammed Trucks are a laughing stock. If your going to mod a car/truck do it right... When me and my friends joy ride in our cars we point and laugh at these mother

ers in stuff like this.

Sorry to be so harsh, but I can stand it! X-) Nice rat rod though, my dad's friend is currently building one

treemty · « **Reply #41 on:** July 22, 2009, 07:49:26 PM »

its a nice ride, but i mean the license plate xD

Skullmaster · « **Reply #42 on:** July 22, 2009, 08:24:55 PM »

yeah but blackburn, there is no right way to customize a vehical. you got to understand that there isnt just one type of car modding. There's slamming, lifting, stretching, chopping. Mud trucks, mini trucks, hot rods, rat rods, prostreets, its just the way you look at it. Any way you do it, your making something your own. Its not what other people think about your stuff its how it makes you feel. Yeah you may not like it but to me its love. Just like rat rods, alot of people look at those and say, you wrecked the car but to someone like me who has built one, they know how much work and money they have put into it to make it what they want.

as for the plate, it is legal that I know of. I have never got pulled over or niether has anyone I know so as far as I know its legal cause I got cops fallowing me all the time and I never get stopped

Tec_ · « **Reply #43 on:** July 22, 2009, 09:05:19 PM »

its all about making it one of a kind.

yeah but honestly, you are entitled to your own opinion, but i hate Ricers, and Slammers. Especially ones that arent done right, it shows low class. Also in my opinion you shouldn't show off a car unless you've got something under the hood. (No that does not include you if you have a PVC intake and a fart can exhaust pipe.)
FOR EXAMPLE:

A V6 Mustang with a FAKE raised hood(vent in scoop, and vent in raised section are not there), and everything is spray painted, clear taillights and a hack sawed exhaust pipe.....

Skullmaster · « **Reply #45 on:** July 23, 2009, 03:36:09 PM »

yea, see I like all cars but it just gets sickening seeing the same cars over and over. All my cars are very odd looking and allways get stared at espicially when I'm going 70 down the highway at 11pm and dragging the frame throwing some sparks. I have cars that have big motors but I never found anything in bragging about the motors, somewhere someone will have the same motor or accessories and then its just blah. Sure they can get up and go but what car cant? (unless your driving a little geo or something) I mean, my corvette can go hella quick but theres 600 more on the road that are just like it. I hope you see my point in all this. It just makes me sad when people say crap about engines, and make model crap.

Does it drag? I don't give a

about the other stuff, only if it Drags, if yes Skitplates? Throw some Titanium Plates under there

S10 dragging Titanium ~100mph

Skullmaster · « **Reply #48 on:** July 29, 2009, 03:07:39 PM »

yeah I drag. The truck lays frame from front to back. I dont have my skid plates on yet, I'm waiting for my dads buddy to get me the hardened steel. I was going to put titanium but it is very expensive and does not last very long.

Here is a vid of one of the guys in my little club

Thats wicked have you ever tried installing those flame sparks in the mufflers that would be tight.

Skullmaster · « **Reply #50 on:** July 30, 2009, 03:42:22 PM »

i would but I dont have any muffler unless I want to burn the underside of my cab :P

Modded Matt · « **Reply #51 on:** July 30, 2009, 04:37:35 PM »

that is one nice truck here is mine, its custom too LOL but all custom under the hood. I put complete banks power throughout. with custom induction hood, top on back with full roll out bed carpet lined bed rug, I made a custom center console so I could hide a JL tw13 without taking out the back seat. the best thing is it is paid off completly. I have the title in hand. the red car is a stealth I bought for my wifrs birthday a few years ago and WE painted and rebuilt from the ground up.

lol same car in my shop

StealthedHunter · « **Reply #54 on:** August 04, 2009, 09:19:23 PM »

its pretty customized and all. Im not into lowering trucks, or airbags too much but its pretty cool if ya like that stuff. The bodywork on it is really nice though, and the liscense plate is insane! Im actually selling my truck right now its a gmc sierra 2000 z71. its not custumized or anything, but its ok. Im selling it and getting an eclipse or something.
