Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Awesome build man. From LA also, pass near your town every time I go offshore.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

I think you have convinced me that my frame needs to be silver.... Damn you with all your beautiful work... Lol. I love this build.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Actually it looks silver but it's got more of a dark stainless look in person...she took the finest metallic silver toner and added black...add even more black and would become like gunmetal....Over all I like it....wont see much of it..but I like it...did I already say that???..........lol............jim.........more this wkend

1moretoy here's the pics of tobin's rear parking brake assembly....jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Thank you Jim. Did you have to weld on the Torino big bearing housing ends and get new axles? I was quoted $600 for new axles with bearings $100 for the ends and $200 to cut and weld on them on from a local guy.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Bought this rear new from moser so we had all that included...I had talked to Tobin before to make sure I had the right ends....One of the nicest and extremely helpful people I have bought from!!...Problems??? call Tobin!!!....jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Ok guys....got the drivetrain in and mostly done......and now notice that's not an ls3....after all the money I spent on the black widow clone next to it .....it was decided to run the true 10 to 1 patriot headed ram jet 355 I had on the stand....the 8-9k price difference between what I wanted and this drivetrain was the deciding factor for the time being....the plan is to eventually put the 355 in the widow and "ls" the truck..not a problem going back since I set this truck up for ls....the 355/700r combo was ran in a 55 orange 2 dr wagon on last years Power Tour...3100 miles in a week....so it's been tested........Oh yeah the intake is still at Advanced in Nashville.....yeah I've been accused of "blinging" things!.........jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Looks awesome!! Attention to detail is amazing!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Nothing wrong with conserving a little (or a lot) of cash once in a while! And it will be nice to know you have something that is "known" dependable under the hood while you work out the inevitable other kinks that always show up initially on a build. Looking good! Still have to be some of my favorite wheels ever

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

That is such a great looking chassis and engine combo....Jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Im loving it! That motor is Sick! Keep up the great work!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Jim, This thing continues to amaze. Looks great.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Sounds like a plan can always upgrade later.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

I love that chassis and the engine looks great! Can't beat a Front Runner!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

That is super shiny! I like it! The plan sounds good to me. I love your 57 too!!!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Looken good

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Heck ya, nice work :metal: Pictures are looking better too.

True

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Jim, Did you ever figure out the issue with the headers? I am hopefully picking mine up from the exhaust guy today. I will load some pictures of the final assembly when I get them.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Got the "camaro" headers in and the pass side is same as yours but marked with diff part #....go figure......have not put cab back on but looks like it will work like yours....would love to see that connection on pass side when u can...i'm goin to run the orig left and the "camaro" right....both fit well around plugs....multi taskin a bunch of things right now...pics before long......jim
