Looks good so far. How big is that notch? Looks huge!

LowRodder · 03-22-2009, 06:07 PM

TDS thanks for the reply

As far as how big? well ??? measuring from the bottom side of the frame to the bottom side of the notch its just short of 11”. This is the porterbuilt weld in notch and he makes it "long" so you can cut it down if you want or you can drop it in as is like I did. I’m going for Laid out on 22” rear wheels and I figured better safe then sorry

I don’t want to have to do it again

royo · 03-22-2009, 06:42 PM

Man you made that look easy. I wish your where closer you could weld mine in when i get it lol

LowRodder · 03-22-2009, 08:36 PM

I have to say this piece from porterbuilt makes it easy and I didn’t do the welding a buddy of mine who lives just up the street is helping me out. He tried to get me to do some of it but I don’t want to have to worry about it when I’m doing 75 on the freeway. We didn’t get much done today but we did get the first part of the bridge welded in.

Nice work!!

what is the story on the '65?
I'm digging it....

LowRodder · 03-23-2009, 05:44 PM

Joe231

the 65 belongs to my buddy he plans to drop in a big motor and leave the rest as is.

joe231 · 03-23-2009, 08:57 PM

cool!!

leftcoast66 · 03-23-2009, 09:06 PM

Nice progress so far, and I'm definitely digging the 65.

protrash64 · 03-23-2009, 11:12 PM

I was reading this last nite and thought it looked like a nice batch of project trucks. Nice work on the notch

.

**N2TRUX** · 03-23-2009, 11:22 PM

Nothing like a driveway full hot rod trucks. Keep the pics coming.

LowRodder · 03-28-2009, 06:10 PM

Due to cold weather and the fact the I need to order some parts I’m not working on my notch this weekend

But I thought I would throw up a few more pics just for the hell of it

**N2TRUX** · 03-28-2009, 06:51 PM

Oh sure, throw pics up and don't give details. Tell us about the new hotrods in the background.
Looks like a 64 SS and a 79 two tone have joined the party.

joe231 · 03-28-2009, 09:59 PM

yeah man
you have some 'splainin' to do

*project 67 sub* · 03-29-2009, 01:39 AM

yah!

C10Sim · 04-03-2009, 07:16 AM

Any updates?

meansting04 · 04-04-2009, 05:41 AM

This thing looks great. Your friend is a great welder. Keep up the good work.

**scotts62** · 04-04-2009, 11:28 AM

Cool man the notches look good! nice work

LowRodder · 04-25-2009, 12:12 PM

For all of you that were watching I apologize for leavening you hanging. I ran into some delays the biggest one was me not making up my mind on how I wanted to set the rear end up. Once I had solid plan I had to find some one who could help me do some good looking bends in round tube (thanks again Nate) and I had to order a lot more parts to get this thing rolling again. On a side note: My dad was moving my bed to storage and It fell off the trailer on the freeway

it did a lot of damage to my almost perfect bed but thank god no one hit it and got hurt or even worse killed

As for the 64ss it’s the wife car, and I’m not allowed to “customize” it I have been wearing her down for almost nine years now and I think see is about to give.

The 79 belongs to the same guy how owns the 65 he has been helping me with my truck and a lot of other folks with their rides so he hasn’t had much time for his. But he’s got a pile of parts for it and just scored an LS6

lots of folks been asking what the notch cost. ????

I think it would be better to let Nate from porterbuilt jump in on that one. Nate if you have been looking in on this link, please feel free to post some info on your notch

Thanks to all who have been keep up with this project i hope to have a lot more progress to report this weekend

Any new pics with the centers cut out? Are the notches big enough to clear the trailing arm? Will it lay on the trailing arm? Thanks!
