Proud new owner of a....

Famous Porterbuilt Dropmember.

At least on paper, just slide the card this afternoon for one. Can't wait till it get's here. It will make this part look even better.

Excellent decision. You will be very pleased. Is your frame powdercoated? If so, what color.

Re: Proud new owner of a....

Are you keeping the standard trans? I think the upper shock relocators go where that Z-bar bracket is on the frame. Also that crossmember that holds up the bellhousing won't be able to be used with the engine being moved forward and up.

It is powder, and is called metalic silver. It actually has flakes in it when the sun hits it. I will try to get the #from the coater next time I am there.

Re: Proud new owner of a....

Yes, you are correct, I left it on until I knew exactly what I was doing, and it has to go back for touch up and clear coat anyway so I wasn't too worried about it.

I sent nate the pics of the arms, and there should not be an issue with them. We will see in about a week when it gets here.

Go powder, it is cheaper and less prep work, it also more durable than paint.
