Jim do you still have the high hump trans tunnel part? Let me know if you have a list of parts and you are going to be in Houston. I need the hi-hump and drivers door /fender 68.
Thanks
Mark

late to the party but up to speed now. nice build ya got goin on. lotsa fab work. can't wait to see more. :thumbs:

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

just read the entire thing. GREAT BUILD !!!! In looking at all the choices I only don't like 1 much and that is the hood hinge, makes it look partially open or is it just the picture?
You do very nice work and I must agree it is cheaper and easier to do it right the first time. Will keep watching 4 sure.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

If you run the struts...that's all the opening....rather the struts than hood prop....but i know what u mean...more progress pics by weeks end...jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

I got mine from local hardware guy....bought a quart (only size there) at lowes first to try it...The trick to this stuff is to rinse with water after stripping...dry off...then re-dip and let dry if your not priming quickly....google it...it's everywhere

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Awesome fab work I love the dimples! The fender brace part turned out very nice and LOVE the rad support.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

few more pics.....threaded the entropy shroud for the topper...little closer look at corner brackets...these dimples were made without press..16 guage metal...with 18v dewalt impact..and 3/8's bolt thru center of die...super nice pieces...never used them before but i'm a fan now...jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Looks awesome!! Where did you get the dimple dies? Not that I really need them but I love to own tools:lol: I went back and looked at your dash and I really think it is the nicest C10 dashes I have seen. Where are you putting your radio? I am going through that decision right now. I really would like to find a remote controled unit I could mount under the dash to to keep it clean.

I am also in the defroster vent delima. Looks like you have the billet ones from Vintage Air. Those seem to be the best solution for the dash. I wished someone made something more flush fitting.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

remote for me too..all of that flat section in dash will have billet inserts...
dies......

that's a Doc's Kustom piece...about the cleanest i could find....thought about welding in a flush grid...just didn't take the time....jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Welding up cowl....what a pain in the azz!!! Mounted overflow...in this shot u can see when u panel these cores how much angle compared to radiator...and i took some of the rearward angle out of radiator! With TUBZ in not near as obvious....jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

the more I see the better it gets

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

everything looks KILLER !

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Cool!! Love the dimples

Did you have to modify the Joe Lutz radiator bracket?

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Man, everything looks great!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Yes, just the area around the upper radiator hose...just had to notch slightly..U can see I pulled the back edge behind dimples toward grill so the "slight break" before the dimples does not quite line up with inner core edge..but both edges have had 3/16's round rod added...Sometimes U have to mod behind another mod..if that makes sense....all totaled..when all painted I think it will look good...considering a stainless mesh under radiator dimples....by the way ...the Lutz piece is pricey but if U look at time and the quality ....I can't duplicate for the money....and really worked well with Entropy rad.....jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Like the dimples sure looks good

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

The truck looking great! and the dimples look awesome!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

I modified my radiator core support also so that I could fit electric fans in there and the question that I had that I hope you can answer for us both is does it jack with the hood closing or not? Like is there any interference with the hood anywhere when you mod it like that? Looking great

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Be honest ...haven't re-installed yet but I don't think adding that little thickness on the 'forward" edge would be a problem.....however will check it out soon....latch assembly is in same spot......thanx for the question...got me thinkin......have had ISAAC on my radar last couple of days.......jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

You will have no clearance issues !
