The thought of a transmission repair shop one day having to pull that thing and those guys all standing around it scratching their heads makes me crack the heck up 🤣
I get the feeling that is not going to be an issue with Eric and JR. Funny to think about, but these guys dont seem like the type to just let a shop tear down their vehicles. If something happens to this transmission, they would get a new/used one before they take a truck transmission in for a rebuild. Very probably cheaper too.
That MetalCast paint should be first undercoated with the metallic silver as part 1, then the translucent color coat goes on top of that to complete the effect.
When I saw the title I was really hoping you decided to go with late '70s Chevy blue. Dang it... 😆 ...and ya even kinda-sorta shouted me out! 🤣 Oh... Keep your wheel speed sensors in case you ever want to add traction control!
I love that you went silver on the engine, I love the factory look. Personally, I would have gone with silver on the transmission because I think it's a cleaner look. If going with the purple like you did, I think painting the transmission white first would have brightened the purple a lot and I think that would have looked a little better. To me, it seems a little too dark but as long as you are happy, that is what truly matters. I can't wait to see how this one turns out, it really makes me miss my old 1995 S-10 extended cab with a 4.3L and 5-speed. Are you all going to do paint and body work to the truck body? If so, are you going to have someone else work on that? If so, it might be a good idea to go ahead and try to get the body parts there so that the body shop can be working on the paint while you all are taking care of all of the mechanical stuff on the frame. Doing so might help save you some time. Good luck with everything! This is a really great project!
I dont know about Tire paint BUT when I was in middle school I got a summer job cleaning/detailing cars took in on trade at a Buick Pontiac Olds dealership and we had carpet and cloth spray paint for door cards, carpeting and mats. we could make even the funkiest carpet look brand new. My guess is that about 6 months down the road the spray dye would fade out looking like crap. Who knows. Keep up the grind! Ive been waiting for this project to come back!
Aluminum's fine, highlights the valve cover oil leaks etc, so keeps you on your toes. ETA What was the thought process on the transmission coating? The color is cool, but what was the point? Thanks for a great project (thinking about messing around with my 2000 Silverado now)! Dave J (Last ETA: The statue could sell some merch!)
Technically, the smaller the wheel, the less the rotational mass. Using a 16 inch wheel should get the wheel spinning up quicker, but doesn't look as cool as a bigger wheel. I think using with a 16 inch wheel is the way to go.
Not hating the colors but am skeptical about the baby blue crocs on the big burly dude. I am sure nobody including me would ever tell him to his face how wrong they look. Not just because of the color but because they are crocs. 😁 There is a reason they went out of style and should never be seen again. May as well wear some tube socks with them.😉
It's a rattlecan overhaul. I can't say I hate it. Whatever floats your boat is fine with me. Since it is a custom build do whatever you want. I think it looks cool.
Look on the bright side - when a project goes "off the rails" the railroad tracks are just across the street so you won't need to push it, drag it, or tow it very far.
What are the chances you could find a second gen dodge pick up? There are a lot of videos of these being repaired, but I feel like most of them are garbage. Would love some how-to on my pickup.
The first plastic fuel tanks were translucent white, but people were uncomfortable being able to see fuel sloshing around under the vehicle so the manufacturers had to start adding carbon black to the material mix. 🤦♂ True story.

Monster transmissions paints their performance 4l60e transmissions a candy purple.

@@AgtWashingtub Yeah, I know. In this imaginary scenario, it would be sold and that guy would take it in. 😉

Now it just needs a two-tone paint job to match! (silver on top lines, purple below) :)
10:30 The statue with the ball shorts and crocs game on point.
Maybe 20 years ago.

The perfect upgrade to the "standard" K-State Purple 💜 Hopefully, the new Power Cat graphics can upgrade to this Purple! Prince would approve!
The S~10 Truck is looking a tiny bit better but since you painted the Transmission Purple you should of had paint the Engine Hot Pink! 😉
Barney has a transmission shop......... AWESOME 👍😎

That frame is looking Minty as hell! And the fully built trans and LS (misplaced receipts though) are coming along fantastically!
Like the misplaced receipt for the new tyres 🤣
Awe Cool! we got an All Aluminum LS backed by a built Monster Trans.
Purple for the transmission is a great choice, you'll never see where the leak is coming from!

I think you should go with factory(ish) looking wheels!
Ice cream breaks are essential to a productive work day
The colors look good!👍
I would have painted it all one color. Maybe valve covers purple to tie it all together and not just random half and half
Statue is always so chill……more in videos JR 😂

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Monster Transmission & Performance paints their Transmissions that same color purple.
@@MrWoodyBalto Thanks, that makes sense and I would do the same! Cheers!
I mean… why not? :)
@@_chipchip I have no counter argument to that. Why not indeed!
No Cleetus valve covers?
I wonder if they have a kit to LS swap a 4.3 powered G20

Are the shop walls going to be fixed?
Aluminum looks really good actually
i love the colors you picked, i did purple and silver to my 64 el camino
Here’s hoping nothing breaks on first test drive. Send it!!!!
You're right... I hate the colors. But Shmee would love them. LOL

Great color's, as long as it goes. Can't wait tell its finished
Another great video from JR.
Great project! Coming together nicely. S10 a little simpler than the Rolls Royce in your driveway
Looks good for cheap ! Nice work
The trans looks good in purple.
Easy off oven cleaner cleans motor amazingly
I think zq8 factory 16in wheel from the zq8 sonomas with chevy caps would look great
Jr. I think you can start wearing boys large tshirts now !! 🤣
Zip tie your spray cans to the blade of your reciprocating saw to shake them up..
Not a fan of K-State, but I did graduate from Butler and Southwestern and they both have purple so...
It's a rattlecan overhaul. I can't say I hate it. Whatever floats your boat is fine with me. Since it is a custom build do whatever you want. I think it looks cool.
Wow Why Have You Not Finished The Inside the Garage?
Cut time the exterior of the body looks fine just do all the non visibles like the underside
love these LS swap vids! do u think u could put an LS in a 1979 chevy malibu that used to hold a 3.8L V6? asking for a friend...
I'm a big fan of a all black s10 with a drop kit
So you are painting the engine and transmission to K-State colors. Good job.
So JR you are going for the "I'm Woke Look" for that engine and transmission. Engine paint scheme by Mimi of the Drew Cary Show!
I am loving this build! Always been an s10 guy...also ive been wanting to do an ls build, myself. Maybe one day i can have a pig fly the parts over :/
You are right.
Metal cast is a candy
That S-10 will be nice when it is finished. Is the engine stock? Everyone needs a statue in their shop! Lol
Statue for the win
Happy haircut 😁
You should have precision transmission go through your 4l60
Still like the thought of dark grey on the block.
I believe the ZQ8 S10 wheels look the best if you can find them and there the same as size as extreme
Why haven't you painted the valve covers some other color, like black or blue?
Hello Kitty valve covers for the win!😂
Liking the prime time slot you've moved to.

How long will those tv’s in the boxes be sitting there? It’s been months
Forever, they are spares 🤷🏻♂️
I mean, if you're gonna paint the transmission metallic purple, you gotta do the diff the same color, right? 😁
Oh no, the colors man... The colors 😉
That's just plum crazy.....
Can't wait to see the S10 finished
I was hoping for red!
Looks like JR is wearing skinny jeans, how could you expect him to know anything anout what looks good 😂😂😂
Well I hope you follow one suggestion from yesterday....Can't wait for the Hello Kitty valve covers! 🤣
The Grimace tranmission.
What are the chances you could find a second gen dodge pick up? There are a lot of videos of these being repaired, but I feel like most of them are garbage. Would love some how-to on my pickup.
These early posted videos are gonna throw my sleep pattern off track... 🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣
Orange block Silver transmission
Will u make it the 30 day countdown?
Nice farmers tan 😎 😆 🤣
You know what they say, you aren't a man if you don't have a farmers tan. 🍻
Paint, it's your call....all is good.
Ah, using the official Vice Grip Garage engine rebuild kit I see.
A green motor would have been cool.
Cool transmission raj
Hi this is your motor!!!
If you don’t paint me RED I’m gown
Blow!!
need that hellcat Pacifica build pls
Should have done grabber green!
I use to paint my tires, so you couldn't see the air inside them...
The first plastic fuel tanks were translucent white, but people were uncomfortable being able to see fuel sloshing around under the vehicle so the manufacturers had to start adding carbon black to the material mix. 🤦♂
True story.
@@TheBrokenLife You know I was making a joke about having bald tires...Albeit, I did not know about the fuel tanks.
@@r.weaver3769 I got the joke, but reality is sometimes funnier than fiction.
@@TheBrokenLife Yes it is.
Extreme color for the Xtreme!
Bro I've already been to a texas event and watched rolls smoke sit on the trailer. I hope this s10 is dope🙏
I have a feeling this thing will do the same. Something will break
Barney the transmission…
Please keep a eye on Jake John
ROCK CHALK!
Love the paint choices, I actually voted for silver!
Woooooooooo... Haircut day!
First Hoovie lets his daughter pick the hue for his Miata at Maaco, then you do... this.
🍇 🍇 🍇
I still think Pink (the new racing red) would have worked for the engine 🤪
Ha, I Knew something was going to be purple!!
Jesus, I was going to suggest Peter Puffer Purple and look at what you did....
I definitely would have at least honed the engine and put new bearings and rings in it. Best of luck
Maybe he will in the future, but he’s on a time crunch, just has to last through LS fest lol
@@pops55650 I guess so but that would take a day.
Humm. The frame looks great from the top. Wonder how it looks from the bottom. 🤔
We painted the bottom 🍻
got some hooziers for the track day brah
Riiiiiiiiptide bluuuuuuue for the truck
Man, you guys are bustin’ butt on this thing! Such cool trucks, it’ll be awesome seeing it topped off with some Holley LS sauce 👌🏻
The transmission will make it all the way to the transmission failure 😆
Yo leave the flo bee alone , supercuts or anything else would work
Your ripped walls look awsome
Tow and sleep in the Aztec !!!!
They e really gone a long way with these metallic sprays.
i use tire paint good stuff.
