Robert's Roller Coaster

[Roberto]

The front suspension is currently being built by Max at Bio Kustumz. It will lay out on a 22" wheel and get atleast 12" of travel. The spindles, control arms, and the engine crossmember will all be hand fabricated out of sheetmetal. No round or square tubing will be used. The factory steering was ditched in favor of a Mustang II rack (more to come on that!) It will use RE7's and Fox Racing 2.0 shocks. Factory Blazer spindle design was incorporated for the C6 Z06 Corvette Brake swap.

Handmade 3.5" Uniball Drop Spindles:

A huge thanks to Keith from Nfamus for helping me sort out all of the issues. Also like to thank Nick from Intro. Nick has been super patient with me. Thanks brotha!

[IH8YOU]

shits looking sick brah

[Xtreme24]

the only thing that sucks about it is that it probably won't get the respect it deserves because it will be on an S10.

looks good though.

[texmextukin]

HELL YES BRAH!!! Looks damn good!

[Slammy]

Now he max is a badass, always has been. How much he charging you for that?

[morbidtacos]

Looking awesome Bob.

[thenickster]

He does some nice work f'sho. Make sure them wheels work with it!

[Fish&Chips]

excellent cant wait to see more on this build

[foxkid]

nice duder

[ShLamdchevy]

that looks awesome!

[TealChevy]

a real build on DFWminis. FTW

[Str8Ugly]

How is this different than any other build thread? Let's use Jmew's as an example. What's the difference?

[thenickster]

Oh geez! Just ignore it JD...it'll go away!

[morbidtacos]

It's still pretty ridiculous.

[bones]

it will probably still be done before JMEWs is

[Roberto]

it will probably still be done before JMEWs is

I'm gonna say a big negative on that.

[Xtreme24]

I'm gonna say a big negative on that.

haha ya, this guy has some BIG plans!

[Roberto]

Is your truck gonna be at GD?

[Xtreme24]

nope, its at the paint shop. I went ahead and just left it to be completely finished. Plus my mom had surgery yesterday and I need to help out around the house this weekend.

[Roberto]

Cool, hope she recovers fast. Let me know if you ever need any help.

[Xtreme24]

Cool, hope she recovers fast. Let me know if you ever need any help.

thanks, she'll be good. she just can't drive for 7 days.

[nfamus10]

cool stuff.

[Jmew]

it will probably still be done before JMEWs is

why do you feel the need to talk shit about my blazer in every thread? Maybe you should check out the recent posts in my project thread and you would see mine is almost finished. So go ahead and put your foot in your mouth

[Kevo]

it's going to be badass when it's finished... props on doing something different and sticking with it... serious

[Jmew]

Going to very badass.

[Roberto]

Werd. It's on the ground, under it's own weight....

[bones]

it was a FUCKING joke

damn y'all get all butt hurt about any little thing someone says on here these days

[Redd]

No the jmew blazer jokes are just old and tired

[Redd]

would make a good coffee table till your ready to put it under the truck

[Roberto]

Thanks Dad. I was thinking it would be a good hood prop, but yours was funnier than mine.

[Xtreme24]

slap some brakes and wheels on it and show it under construction!

[morbidtacos]

I'm very excited about what is going on here.

[DereK]

Excuse Me Robert may I ask a few questions ?

Now why did you decide to go this route? What's the advantages and or disadvantages of this setup? And may I have your autograph ?

[morbidtacos]

He was taking notes.

[DereK]

I dont think its possible Mr.Hensley took note's because the person who wrote the note's odviously can match Mr.Hensley's front end swagga...

[morbidtacos]

Great point breh.

[Roberto]

Excuse Me Robert may I ask a few questions ?

Now why did you decide to go this route? What's the advantages and or disadvantages of this setup? And may I have your autograph ?

I decided to go this route because I wanted an S10 that was totally different than most. Granted, its still the civics of trucks, but its just something I've always wanted.

Advantages:
12 to 14" of usable lift.
Very little camber
Max Fish's pony tail

Disadvantages:
Its not Bolt-on
Its Not S10forum approved

I hold autograph sessions on full moons and leap years. Call my agent for details.

[morbidtacos]

Bad ass response Bob.

[DereK]

Thanks Sir just so everyone knows because you can still be bagged and bodydropped on 22's on a factory front end, you sir up't the bar and chose to take the advantages to ease the driveability and to be one off.

[Jmew]

wow derek has a big vocabulary all of a sudden

[Slammy]

haha yea those guys on s10forum were talking all kinds of shit, some of them just dont get it.

[Roberto]

I'm not trying to be different... I just want something that will out ride on the nuts without killing my tires or my butt.

[SoloSDN]

damn, that is just badass.

[MEGAIL]

Disadvantages:
Its not Bolt-on
Its Not S10forum approved
ITS NOT YELLOW



A little yellow and it'll be s10forum approved

[Roberto]

Fml.

[MEGAIL]

Fml.

fixed that for you.

if yellow is so 2008, do you have a new idea for the paint choice????

[Roberto]

fixed that for you.

Light silver, or a nice blue. Yellow was so 2007.

I am Robert's Agent/PR rep, and I approve this message. Roberto will be attending Gator Drag and will be available for a limited number of autographs and questions during the short press conference that will be held.

[ShLamdchevy]

that has to be, by far, the best rebuttal roberto has said... our lil nino is growing up..

[Roberto]

Thanks guys. It was really nothing. I'm super excited for the potential I see in my truck now!

i dont get on there cant be bothered
dont even remember my screen name and aint gonna ,make another one i dont think

[Roberto]

It's funny, my project thread on there has gotten no love. They tell me I'm stupid, and that Suicide Doors does the job for alot less $$$$. I understand that, but they are not open to anything different. With this cheap mentality, know wonder people look bad on minitruckers...

[Fish&Chips]

you got plenty of love here because understand different isnt bad

Looks sorta like a long travel prerunner setup just way smaller. A small block going in it?

[Roberto]

Looks sorta like a long travel prerunner setup just way smaller. A small block going in it?

It was designed for the lift and the LSX.

[bagged69c10]

Pretty cool.

[Chevytruckin98]

good stuff, looks like a project to look out for!!!

[Xtreme24]

just making sure, LSX or LSx?

[Roberto]

LQ4 with the LS1 style conversion.... Kinda like Mr. Aldo.

[Xtreme24]

oh ok, I thought you were about to go all out with an LSX.

[Roberto]

I want to finish this eventually lol.

[LayinDoors]

Max Fish. FTW.

[Jmew]

not bad roberto

[Roberto]

Thank you kindly Jon.

[DereK]

Looks good Max.

[Xtreme24]

looking good,

you should really try to get it here for setting trends

[DereK]

Or wait and let the fabricator make sure its 100% before he rushes to send it to a Damage Inc show.

[Roberto]

It still has alot of work to be done. Rear mounted steering, shock arms, diamond shaped uppers.... I'd like to have it to show, but realistically, it will be a month and a half. Plus I still haven't bought the shocks and bags for him yet lol.

[Xtreme24]

Or wait and let the fabricator make sure its 100% before he rushes to send it to a Damage Inc show.

:rolleyes:

[RELLIMNEB]

Take your time, the progress so far looks great!

[sideshow]

Or wait and let the fabricator make sure its 100% before he rushes to send it to a Damage Inc show.

Yeah those Damage Inc guys are nobodies. Thats why they got nominated for club of the year, already have two magazine features published this year and will have one of their two shows in Minitruckin within the next three issues.


Back on topic. Amazing work bro. I can't wait to see it around at a show when its done. You definitely have the best of the best working on this suspension. Keith and Max Fish. Thats like a minitrucker fantasy.

And Aaron Iha. Lookin great man.

[trix]

thats fuckin nice!

[Roberto]

And Aaron Iha. Lookin great man.

Ehh. I could draw up my own front suspension in CAD and have someone laser it out. It would basically be the same thing lol.

[LayinDoors]

Ehh. I could draw up my own front suspension in CAD and have someone laser it out. It would basically be the same thing lol.

SO ur saying if Iha offered to build you a truck. You wouldnt let him?

[Roberto]

Offering and paying are two different things.

[LayinDoors]

Offering and paying are two different things.

Hahahah True. Well IMO Iha still needs some attention. He does turn out good work. I really dont think anyone can argue with that.

[Roberto]

The start of the rack mount:

And that is why? More important who cares?


LOL



Nice build Roberto

[ShLamdchevy]

looking good!!!!

[IH8YOU]

looks doper than dope!

[bLaZiNaToR]

Looks sick robert, can't wait to see this thing finished and in action. I miss the bannanna boat!

[SaltineKracka]

thats sexy!!!!!

[Roberto]

Rack got mounted up to the crossmember. I will post pics when I get back from Chick-agg-ooo

[texmextukin]

You better not slack on the picture posting fucker!




..im jealous!

right hand drive? or the rack gunna be behind the motor?

[Roberto]

<---- Waits for the riot police to show up.

[Redd]

im either looking at the pics wrong or something....

[Roberto]

right hand drive? or the rack gunna be behind the motor?

Rear steer with a twist...

[Redd]

Rear steer with a twist...

lol ok, as long as im seeing something right then

[LayinDoors]

Very nice man. This is going to be different. Thats for sure.

[RELLIMNEB]

Nice update, this thing is going to make waves in the scene for sure!

[Fish&Chips]

this thing is gonna be sick

[MEGAIL]

mmmberto is famous now. top 5 on streetsource.

[nfamus10]

looks fishy to me......

[TealChevy]

top 5 FTW

[Roberto]

looks fishy to me......

Hahahahahahaha! That's awesome!

[Roberto]

The "twist" on the steering:
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k238/LOW_S-10/090513_144233.jpg

I think of it like a Watts Link. When the wheels are straight, the bell crank (pictured above) is straight. When the wheels turn, one side of it moves in, and the other out, and vise-versa. Pretty cool stuff.

[bagged69c10]

That aint gonna work.

[Roberto]

That aint gonna work.

Well skippy, maybe I should pay a proffesional to build it next time lol.

[texmextukin]

Now i dont think thats s10forum approved...






hahah.... <3 you Bob, shit is SICK!!!

[still2low4urho]

Man i missed a lot roberto, lookin good!

[Roberto]

This might help a little...

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k238/LOW_S-10/090513_175335.jpg

[still2low4urho]

fuckin sweeeeeet!!! haha that does help explain much tho roberto!

[Roberto]

It's garvity! Just like when a girls on top... She can't get pregnant!

[RELLIMNEB]

Damn nice!!!

[morbidtacos]

What's a garvity?

[Fish&Chips]

aint that what people get when the fall over in gravel?

[Roberto]

Everything will be countersunk.....

[Roberto]

The other steering bell crank was installed today. He is designing the other push rod as well. Pics coming after work...

The bolts will be hand-turned chromoly steel...

[LaidLoCivic]

look at you go!

[MurderHill DJ]

fuckin nice man... do you work at a machine shop or what?

[Roberto]

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k238/LOW_S-10/090514_104031.jpg

[Roberto]

Some machine work:

[ShLamdchevy]

This might help a little...

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k238/LOW_S-10/090513_175335.jpg

so pretty much since the rack and pinion are behind the motor everything has to be reversed.. but why does the rack and pinion need to be behind the motor? just for cosmetics or is it for caster and minimize bump steer?


either way its F'n awesome!

[Roberto]

It's just for kicks. The rack is actually too long and it would have to be mounted very high if it were front steer. This way, I can make it act like its mounted high and put it anywhere I want.

I heard your going the custom spindle route. I'm super excited.

[Roberto]

Don't ask me what these are for... I don't know yet lol.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k238/LOW_S-10/090514_213205.jpg

[ShLamdchevy]

I heard your going the custom spindle route. I'm super excited.


yea, i decided to do so because i was reading into the custom knuckles (or how ever its called) and take in account the added costs in tires with stock spindles versus the custom spindles.

and im doing a lug conversion because i like a certain 5 spoke wheel.

so it seems like its a must.

[Roberto]

And your not limited to a suspension that was designed for far less than what we put it through. You can basically start over if you want too.

[Roberto]

Off of the deap end:

[texmextukin]

GOT DAMN!!! Just keeps getting better and better!!!

[Low_S-10]

i now see how this is going to work. looks good cant wait to see it finished

[Redd]

is the motor going to fit with the upper steering like it is

[Str8Ugly]

i see most sophisticated suspension award in your future

[Roberto]

is the motor going to fit with the upper steering like it is

That's a good question. I guess it would all depend on the motor mounts...

[DereK]

It's going to be a mid-engine Redd I dont think it will be a problem.

[still2low4urho]

GEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZ, most complicated suspension design ever!!!! haha looks sick tho

[Redd]

That's a good question. I guess it would all depend on the motor mounts...

esp since your gunna body drop it, gunna suck if you have to have the motor raised up higher or more back than you realy need too.

Just hate too see those arms hitting the side of the block or the headers

[still2low4urho]

what about the wheels, ix your steering contraption going to keep you from turning sharp? goin to have to do 3 point turns haha

[ShLamdchevy]

if you look at where the tabs for the upper control arms, they seem to be in line with the heim joint. depending on the overall width of the frame, it might be enough to turn lock to lock.

[Roberto]

You, my friend, have very good eyes....

[Dragginblazer]

What is this contraption going to achieve?

[texmextukin]

What is this contraption going to achieve?

Awesomeness...







... duh! hahaha

[LayinDoors]

LOL u guys crack me up. Looks good. But It should for the price u are probably paying.

[Roberto]

The start of the frame under the cab:
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k238/LOW_S-10/untitled24-2.jpg

It might not look like anything special lol, but I DA'ed those 10 pieces for hours!

[Xtreme24]

ballin'

[DereK]

My eyes are tellin' me it looks like wood, but my brain is tellin' me it's metal !!!

Cant wait to see Keith weld that in one bead.

[Redd]

if you look at where the tabs for the upper control arms, they seem to be in line with the heim joint. depending on the overall width of the frame, it might be enough to turn lock to lock.

true, but that v8 is one big motor tho... its crammed in a regular s10 frame to begin with. So if this new frame is skinnier than stock when turning those arms could hit the headers.. Granted you can build around them but still again with the crampness and stuff

[Swapmeet]

My eyes are tellin' me it looks like wood, but my brain is tellin' me it's metal !!!



LOL... I was thinkin the same thing...

[TealChevy]

redd would you quit trying to find something wrong with this build please? it is getting annoying. Thanks

[Nfamuskeith]

5 ft weld FTC!

[still2low4urho]

redd would you quit trying to find something wrong with this build please? it is getting annoying. Thanks

Well when your as experienced as Redd Inc you notice everything and that gives you room to point out others flaws......haha

[DereK]

5 ft weld FTC!

That welder better make 5 foot weld's or else...

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h198/nitrodime10/Keithwelder.jpg

[Redd]

redd would you quit trying to find something wrong with this build please? it is getting annoying. Thanks

Im not trying to find something wrong with it dick cheese... All Im doing is asking a question, a pretty reasonable one at that, and posted reasoning behind the question. Besides Its the only thing ive asked in this thread.

So fuck off

[Redd]

Well when your as experienced as Redd Inc you notice everything and that gives you room to point out others flaws......haha

Yea like the body work you did on my truck haha:kopfab[1]:

[TealChevy]

That welder better make 5 foot weld's or else...

holy..........fucking............shit

[still2low4urho]

Yea like the body work you did on my truck haha:kopfab[1]:

what are trying to say about my body work? besides it never got finished haha

[Redd]

what are trying to say about my body work? besides it never got finished haha

Its getting finished!

[Roberto]

If I could get the dimensions of the damn diamond, Keith & Matt could go ahead and get the rails moving. But.... Nothing.

[ShLamdchevy]

so when is the completion date on this thing?

[Roberto]

so when is the completion date on this thing?

SEMA 2011 FTW!!!!!

[DereK]

SEMA 2011 FTW!!!!!

I have to disagree... Sema 2010 or bust...

[Roberto]

Don't think so sport... There's a 4 year waiting list.

[Roberto]

Got the dimensions. Time to do work....

[still2low4urho]

ya do work son!!!

[Roberto]

No MDF here:
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k238/LOW_S-10/untitled-12.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k238/LOW_S-10/untitled2-6.jpg

The crossmember has the diamond north to south. A couple of inches past the control arm mounts, it will transition it into an east to west diamond. This will help decrease the overall height of the rail for the body drop.

[ShLamdchevy]

is that an Nfamus floor or a Bio floor?

[Roberto]

It's the Nfamus crack whore floor....

[Nfamuskeith]

I dont know whats taking Max so long!!!!! i made a 1/3 of the frame in like an hour!!!!

[Fish&Chips]

looks good gonna start taking shape soon

[Roberto]

That welder better make 5 foot weld's or else...

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h198/nitrodime10/Keithwelder.jpg
Well, didn't quite get to the five foot mark, but 2'4" still looked impressive...

[Roberto]

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k238/LOW_S-10/untitled99.jpg

Ready for the air file...

[DereK]

I guess your phone works.

[Fish&Chips]

[Roberto]

Airline will be 3/8" 316 S/S hardlined. Shocks were delivered at BK on Thursday. Waiting to start on the shock arms.

[Fish&Chips]

jes but where is it going

[Roberto]

http://emob89.photobucket.com/albums/k238/LOW_S-10/photo.jpg

My mountain bike shocks....

[texmextukin]

Ballin ass!!!! I want those for the rear of my truck, Fox 2.0s

[morbidtacos]

Oh no. I need to wipe.

[Roberto]

Ballin ass!!!! I want those for the rear of my truck, Fox 2.0s
Talk to Neal dooder... He has an idea for a cantilever shock bracket that uses a nice set of shocks.

[Roberto]

Oh no. I need to wipe.

The cool thing about that pic is was loaded straight from the iPhone onto here. Copy/paste Ftw!!!

[morbidtacos]

Copy and paste huh. F U

[Xtreme24]

I love those shocks! I'm going to run those on the dodge but 3.0's up front and 2.0's out back.

have they been valved yet? What size travel did you get?

[TealChevy]

i think i need those on the t bizzle

"A" valving which has a stiff ride to compensate for the 22's and 6.5" of travel.

Bought them from Kartek. Cheap as hell and good customer service.

[ShLamdchevy]

i dont mean to be rude and ask..but i cant figure it out.. how much are they going for?

[Xtreme24]

they run anywhere from 140-2000 a shock depending on what you want.

the 2.0's with reservoirs are about 190.

Intresting... Glad to finally see how it all works together...

Nice looking work for sure..

[Xtreme24]

I wanna see it with the spindle in motion, that is going to look crazy.

[ProductiveFleetside]

Build is neat!

[Roberto]

And the elbow work starts. Knocked the edges down first and went back and smoothed the middle. 2 hours of work, about 10 more to go, than it all starts again after the re-weld for the small pin holes and dents.

What's happening next?

My next step on this project is for it to transition from an engine crossmember into a frame. Keith has a good start on the rails already, but I'm lacking the rear end and wheels for him to finish her up. Once those two major pieces are taken care of, I can get all of the C6 brakes and S/S plumbing done. I really dont have a deadline for this project, so the frame won't be done until early next year.

[SoloSDN]

shit is lookin good man. gonna be sick when its all together

[nfamus10]

i got 2 22" billet wheels also. maybe sold though.
