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?

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.

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?

Your boys are a trip man. We have set up a secret mission to sabotage your perfect near seat belts..... Lol

I'm gonna take a look at what you have going on.

C10_ustacould · 02-26-2014, 05:57 AM

The parts are starting to pile up, sway bar showed up yesterday.

Bennett68C10 · 02-26-2014, 09:18 AM

Nice, got to love parts showing up

knomadd · 02-26-2014, 11:04 AM

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.

Rusbuilt · 02-26-2014, 06:02 PM

Oh yeah!

C10_ustacould · 03-11-2014, 09:54 PM

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.

Rusbuilt · 03-11-2014, 10:09 PM

Alright!!! I agree about the updates that nate makes on fb and ig, I really enjoy seeing all the production parts lined up!

C10_ustacould · 03-13-2014, 08:05 AM

Added a small item to my Porterbuilt order last night. Looking forward to a pile of boxes very soon.

Nate is certainly helping to make building a nice truck much easier for those of us who don't have or have access to good metal shaping skills.

I'm excited to say the least, I can't wait to have a mountain of boxes in my garage. UPS guy probably isn't going to be so happy on delivery day!

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.

jmedero · 03-14-2014, 11:11 AM

Oh yea. If you need a hand when she's ready let me know I'll ride over.

C10_ustacould · 03-14-2014, 09:07 PM

8 boxes... 350+ lbs... I think my UPS guy is going to need a back brace!

**nlped** · 03-14-2014, 10:19 PM

Any ETA?
