Re: El Chingon
If you want to get parts powdercoated in houston this is the place to go. I took them a total of 38 pieces:
Frame, rearend housing, complete front porterbuilt package, upper and lower control arms, bag plates, valve mounting brackets, u bolt and mounting plates for rear, panhard bar, trailing arms, trailing arm crossmember, air tank, and a bunch of mounting brackets and tabs. 800.00. no tax. cash. The color option was any color as long as it was black. It is a polyester tgic powder i think he called it. I hope it was the right stuff for the application. |

Re: El Chingon
Got the trailing arm crossmember together tonight, i used 7/16 bolts instead of 3/8. It seemed that the 7/16 bolts took up more slack in the hole then 3/8, it was not for strength.

Re: El Chingon
i used kp components axle kit for the bag brackets and shock brackets. the bag plates for the a arms are from porterbuilt. i stitched up the trailing arms every 8 inches or so with the welder to keep them from seperating. i wish it would stop raining here in houston so i can start throwing parts on the frame......

Re: El Chingon
I hear ya, the rain is gettin old around here. Almost everyday for over 2 weeks! Your frame and other parts look great, they did a really good job on the powder coating. What part of H-Town are you in?

Re: El Chingon
got the bushings from summit racing, they are from energy suspensions. the are the poly. bushings. i hope they dont make noise when it is all said and done. i coated them with the grease that comes with them, price was to good to pass up over the rubber ones.
