Re: El Chingon
If you want to get parts powdercoated in houston this is the place to go. I took them a total of 38 pieces:
Frame, rearend housing, complete front porterbuilt package, upper and lower control arms, bag plates, valve mounting brackets, u bolt and mounting plates for rear, panhard bar, trailing arms, trailing arm crossmember, air tank, and a bunch of mounting brackets and tabs. 800.00. no tax. cash. The color option was any color as long as it was black. It is a polyester tgic powder i think he called it. I hope it was the right stuff for the application. |

Re: El Chingon
What kind of centercaps are you going to run on the ralleys?? I have a set of ralleys for my truck also but I am thinking of changing the center caps.

Re: El Chingon
going to run smooth trim rings with the derby style cap, it is all on order and waiting for it to come in. the real caps are expensive and so are the rings. i could have bought a set of billet wheels for what i am going to have in these things. it will look nice and old school. that is kinda how i am, and wish the world would sometimes be.

Re: El Chingon
Got the trailing arm crossmember together tonight, i used 7/16 bolts instead of 3/8. It seemed that the 7/16 bolts took up more slack in the hole then 3/8, it was not for strength.

Re: El Chingon
i used kp components axle kit for the bag brackets and shock brackets. the bag plates for the a arms are from porterbuilt. i stitched up the trailing arms every 8 inches or so with the welder to keep them from seperating. i wish it would stop raining here in houston so i can start throwing parts on the frame......

Re: El Chingon
I hear ya, the rain is gettin old around here. Almost everyday for over 2 weeks! Your frame and other parts look great, they did a really good job on the powder coating. What part of H-Town are you in?
