In building your first ride as a custom automotive enthusiast, it is important to get off on the right foot. Having professionals handle the tasks at hand like Dan taking care of the body and paint is important to gain respect on the show scene. So to ensure that Fidel continued the same path, the decision was to drop the S-10 off to the crew of Ballistic Motorsports of Mission Viejo, CA to handle all of the suspension needs. Starting with the rear suspension, the frame would be boxed and notched to allow more axle travel at low stances. The front and rear shocks where swapped out with a set of Toxic shocks to handle the new low stance. To help match the rear suspension travel, the stock spindles where placed next to the stock shocks, and a new set from Bell Tech would be installed. Next a set of Firestone air bags where mounted in place to allow up and down on command. Now that the fenders would meet up with the 18x7.5 KMC Units, which were wrapped in 205/35 Nitto rubber, Fidel would be happy with the overall clearance, the interior would be Fidel's next challenge.

Once again leaving the custom work to the professionals, Fidel made sure to drop the S-10 off to Apollo of Alhambra, CA to handle his interior needs.
