Re: Project: "Home Grown"
PM sells are a no-no, but I would be interested in the spindles once you put them up for sale in the parts forum....gotta be fast with the trigger over there

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Received the rest of my sheet metal Friday and my Cross Drilled & Slotted rotors. Cleaned out the garage, and picked up Home Grown from the storage shed, left her out in the rain all Saturday I was out of town no glass, no tarp.

Anyhow, getting ready to cut the frame up for all my PB products and then fit sheet metal.

Anyone have some suggestions on who to use for front grille rings and headlight bezels? I think that's the only parts I still need for body mock up.

One of the fenders I received from Goodmark "In a Triplus box" It looks great, lets cross our fingers it fits the same.

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Home Grown is in the hoist area, ready to go under the knife !

Porterbuilt Stage 2 install to start tonight with a 12 pack on stand by

Also I think I have picked out the color. Its a GM color called Voodoo Metallic, it was used on 09 Pontiac G8's so its a GM color . What do you guys think?

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
I like where your going but you DID ask so take it with a grain of salt, but I think new car colors belong on new cars. These trucks always look classier with original-ish color schemes.

That's a nice blue. I like it. There is a blue sorta like that on newer GM trucks also that I really like.

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Just got back from a long evening at the shop with Home Grown, I hate grinding! Between the rivets & the billion odd holes I had to drill I am sore as hell. I was able to get one full C notch installed, and the mojority of the other side all set, minus the frame cut. Pics tomorrow.

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Sat afternoon, just about rapped everything up, still need to finish a few holes, bolt everything tight, and mock up shocks, then install bags.

Removed cab from chassis to aid in Trailing Arm X Member install. My friend charlie came out and lent a hand, as you can see he was already sitting on the job

Went and cleaned up a bit tonight at the shop, tomorrow I will be installing the trailing x member, and bags.

All the items that are purple where from the original work back in 2000, whole frame is getting mocked up, and then sent out to powder. Next up is rear disc and 5 lug switch over. I need all new tie rods and ball joints for the front end, all the seals rotted from storage. Then I will install the CPP drop spindles
