glad you asked.

the cool thing about the mahogany is that the entire hub assembly was billet and it looked pretty clean, other than that there was nothing great about it and it really clashed w/ the interior...here's a pic of it...


soo...i went looking at a few steering wheels locally today and found this one in advanced auto parts, i've never seen it before and it caught my eye.


it looks a lot more modern and matches my interior better, and the freakin horn button works like it should lol...here are some pics of it installed...

the truck didn't come w/ a stock horn either and since my engine is chrome/red for the most part, i picked up these bad boys and put em in...(please ignore the wiring mess, i'm cleaning all that up tomorrow)


they sound great, like a big truck or suv horn.

Update:
Added Stainless Hose Kit and Started Painting the Calipers. Here's a few crappy pisc i took in the rain XD




need some new lugs, these are a lil bit rusted. i wanted some red on the calipers, but i figured doing them all red would look sort of cheap, so...i decided to do them red/silver.

I reckon those lights would be OK if you smoked them and the indicators so they looked like one solid lens, as it is they do look a little odd on an 89 Blazer....

haha, that STI looks cool.. some people like my interior, some people don't. the thing i like about hardbody s10s is that they're too young to be a classic and too hold to have any set standards for styling.

for all the pplz that hate my headlights...


they're bright little bastards, much brighter than the "projector" bulb.

got the new fuel pump in...

old fuel pump tucked away in the frame..

old fuel pump, apparantley it's a Carter.

new fuel pump, procomp 14psi

the procomp pump had 2 springs, 1 for 14 psi and 1 for 7psi, i installed it w/ the 7psi spring and still wasn't getting fuel pressure. (the old pump may have still been good) so, i put the fuel psi gauge right behind the pump, got 13psi, put it under the hood before the regulator and got 0psi...soo...i figured my fuel filter or the lines were plugged, so i blew them out with 120psi air to clear them out...hooked everything up...got 13psi at the regulator so i was glad...let it sit there, slowly...slowly it dropped down to 5 psi ???? no idea wtf is going on, the only thing i can figure now is that it's not able to suck from the gas tank like it should, but when i undo the fuel line going into the pump, it leaks all over the place, so i don't have any restrictions there...i'll figure it out sooner or later, im tempted to drop the entire fuel line and rerun it w/ 3/8" stainless tubing.
