I'll see if I can find someone to move it.

Lowering is a disease.. Porterbuilt is the cure.. (I said the same thing.. I'm just going to bag it and be happy, blah, blah, blah. With that being said, I'm about 2-3 weeks from pulling the trigger on a dropmember. Then, come the slosh tubs, and cutting into a rust free tub so the rear notches and axle come through.)

Great.. Like I need another picture to tell me to work harder to get what I want..

[big_al_71]

My boy raul came thru wiring my gauges while I had to attend an evening function..... I hope that we can get this in the truck real soon so we can move to redoing the rear suspension quickly..

[big_al_71]

Well spent part of the afternoon cleaning the front grille and I thought I would post a picture of my gauges finished ready to go in the truck maybe sometime this week.

[67cheby]

if you are talking about sheet metal you dont have to be a good welder....you have to be a good grinder !! LOL, now the stuctural welds i leave to someone else !!

[big_al_71]

Hopefully one day we will buy a welder and try to figure out how to do it. Get the creative juices flowing and who knows what we could come up with.

Boris (way2lo) sent my 2 inch blocks right of way and they are here now waiting on the cpp bolt in cnotch so hopefully Raul and I can get the gauges installed in the next few days time permitting then it is time to do some cutting.

Your very welcome!!!!

My best friend Raul calls me and says I am on the way to your house to drop off the camaro and i am taking your truck to my house so we could get a head start on the gauges. I said perfect as I was home just watching the dolphins get their butts handed to them.

We moved cars around and we went to Raul's house I was as usual the helper Raul started on the truck around 7:00p.m. and by 9:30pm he is 90% completed...Things left to be done I have to pick up a new headlight switch as mine came apart and the dash lights would not work, we took the switch of "Abuelo's" Raul's stepside and it worked like a champ. We need to run a wire from the MSD for the tachometer, run a Lokar speedo cable and we are set, at least for the gauges...Also I had my tow company come pick up "Abuelo" to take it to my shop so my guys can pressure clean the complete truck inside and out so we could have a clean start on that project...
