Re: Project: Shiro
NOS grill shells and inserts are EXPENSIVE!! Now that we have that established, what is the next best alternative? Shiro's entire grill is hammered and will need replaced so what out there?

Re: Project: Shiro
Buck I saw this pic of Holley's shop truck with the ls that looks like a big block and I thought about a post where you had previously stated you wanted your ls to look classic. Man this is it! lol I would love to make my ls look this cool.

Re: Project: Shiro
That is exactly what I'm talking about! I have only one question about this pic. Holley makes their own accessory brackets, why does this truck have a Vintage Air Frontrunner?

Re: Project: Shiro
I remember that box! I had one sitting in my garage for a couple months, several months ago. If I can't wait to see you putting this together, I bet you're busting at the seams.

Re: Project: Shiro
I hear the guys at Porterbuilt are finishing up a run of rear kits which means my order is very near complete, so it won't be long and we'll have a garage full of dropmember parts. I love seeing the updates Nate shares on FB and IG! Great insight into the process, and who doesn't like seeing super sano welds and all the dropmember parts lined up, ready to box and ship.

We are starting a another family project so the dis-assembly timeline is fluid right now, but I'll give you a shout when we are ready to pull this one apart. I think we can have it down to a bare frame in a day.
