Awesome sir! Glad you're feeling better!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

This is such a cool build. Glad I've been able to follow and get some neat ideas for when I get started on mine. Great work

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Well got a little done...tubs in guide coat ...epoxy in am followed shortly by high-build.....finished pass. side marker opener....thought u might want to see the hidden tub flanges...will be drilled for a few bolts when final wood is in place....and last built a "coffin" to send my cowl to Justin at his shop "SCOTT'S HOT RODS" in Calif..Never seen better metal work than they do....and I'm biting the bullet (not cheap) and letting them shave my cowl............jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

And the others..........

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Nice! I agree Scotts does some awesome fab work!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Got tubs in epoxy today....and tailgate on for last time and now bed is coming off to finish chassis work and then paint....gate surprised me...fit better than expected for aftermarket..............jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Hey Jim, really looking good, I know your ready to start painting...Jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Hopefully it won't take as long as the blocking took on those tubs!!....but they are "right" now .............jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Pics don't do the work justice looking good

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Been a snow storm here for 2 days.....so not much accomplished.....did get my gas cap and neck in....will be installed behind drivers marker lite on a slight downward angle ....hopefully enough drop to tank....will know when boyd shipment arrives!!..........more the weekend.....jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Nobody happier than me to see this....cab removed ....chassis to be taken the apart and painted in next month.............

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Ok who's scared.........lol.........and yes it is a harbor freight winch in attic holding this cab up....one of the best "tools" in the shop........but i did mount it to dolly right after pics!!.............jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

That's great news, can't wait to see some paint on it

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Looking good!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Sweeeeet....Jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Looks like Christmas came late......Marquez lites today.....any one want to guess what the collars are for??? Stole that idea from Belowme51.....Used on rear control arms and lower front arms to attach accuair level control sensors....jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Where did you get the collars from and what size are they. I would like to use those on mine.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Look at # 78 and #82 in belowme51's thread.....gives you part #'s also...I will have to drill and tap these for ball studs..He doesn't show if he finished these but u can see how they will work....They make these in steel if u want to weld a stand-off stud instead of tapping....Mcmaster-carr....great seller...more later.......Jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Looking fandamtastic Jim! Bad Ass!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Awesome work and I love those lights!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

You making some great progress. Love all the new parts too.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Thanks for the link, I'm going to look into getting those

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

I used exhaust clamps for my sensors; similar idea, I have porterbuilt trailing arms so they're round tubing. I just tapped into the flat part of the clamp and away I went! Those collars look much better though!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Christmas again...thanx D.B....one nice product....pic not that great but it is gloss black powdercoated and super slick..I don't know where those streaks came from .....there not in powdercoat...better pic later..jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Very nice! The streaks appear to me as a reflection off the tank of your ceiling panels. That is a nice tank!
