Re: Porterbuilt parts

Dude don't tell me that about the crossmember. I have to do mine this weekend and I'm doing it on a burb body on frame.

Sorry man. What worked for me is i grinded the 4 rivets from the inside not the top. Then used the air hammer to seperate the crossmember from the frame by inserting the chisel bit between the frame and crossmember. Once i got all the lowers and the whole crossmember out i went back and grinded the top rivets flush with the frame and punched them threw the top with the air hammer punch bit. never had to go on top of the frame.

Good luck with it..

Re: Porterbuilt parts

Incredible build, I like the way you're doing a combination of satin black and silver. It really sets it off and looks superb.
