I can't quit looking at that chassis. My wife is going to hate you :lol:

Re: Project: Shiro
 

She can call my wife to vent, I'm sure there's a support group they can join. :lol:

DeWayne found some common rust in the upper corner of the firewall on the passenger side.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

must feel good to get updates on the regular. awesome work they are doing.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

It's awesome; I get updates every day and sometimes twice a day. DeWayne told me be for I took it up there that I wouldn't be able to tell anything was ever replaced when he was done, but I think that was a fib. This cab is going to be WAY better than factory and it will be very apparent to anyone who knows these trucks! While I wasn't prepared for and never intended to do any rust repair or paint work on this truck, DeWayne has made it well worth the time, effort and money. I will have an extremely solid body to build on when he is done.

Got the frame back to a roller, it still needs some work but it will do to make the trip to Tennessee to get the sheet metal. Snapped a few pics while it was outside this afternoon. I'd put a snappy caption for each pic but each one is self explanatory so let's just get to it. ;)

Re: Project: Shiro
 

That frame is beautiful!
You need a different roller chassis to haul your cab on!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

I'm with this guy^^^ Looks great!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Chassis looks first class!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Everything looks awesome Buck! You did a real nice job on get the frame back together.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

I am salivating....drool. Really beautiful!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Thanks guys, but beggars can't be choosers so we'll have to use this one.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Thanks guys but the folks at Porterbuilt Fabrication, Billet Specialties, CPP, and Boyd Welding get the credit for the great looking parts... I just bolted them together. :)

Re: Project: Shiro
 

The powdercoating on that frame looks so smooth, the 2nd pic (looking up to the sky) makes the passenger side of the frame look like tinted glass... like there's sky behind it, not a reflection... nice and flat and shiny! Looks great!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

A few updates from the guys at Nsane Hot Rodz...

Radio repair "roughed" in... :lol: Looks pretty good to me!

Before and after... This is one of the things that bothered me the most about buying this truck. I was told by the P.O. member jasonvw that the dash was not cut. Well, you can see that was a lie. DeWayne has looking factory again. I think I'll try and find a factory am/fm and speaker set up to go in it. ;)

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Chassis looks fantastic! you did a hell of a job bolting it together....

Cab is looking good too!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Looks great. The guys at Nsane do great work.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Thanks, it's amazing how many bolts there are when you do a Porterbuilt suspension. by the tiime you install and torque all the hardware you hands are screaming. :lol:

Yes they do, I am really glad I brought it to them instead of doing it myself. The outcome will be MUCH nicer. ;)

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Awesome progress on the "rust free" cab! :metal:
