Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
I would defiantly sport a big "Porterbuilt" logo on my truck to represent him in the south.
Haha... That sounded pretty ghetto.... "A.T.L. REPRESENT'N the Porterbuilt!!" lol Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
this week has been a week of working on the little stuff i have kept putting off, my passenger seat on my buddy buckets i couldnt get to set even no matter how much i adjusted all of the brackets so finally drilled new holes !! i had made the passenger fold forward about a year ago and had never put in the adjustable stops on it (for the reclining part of it) got that done and got a BEAUTIFUL hide for the seats !

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
i also marked the area that i need to notch for my driveline, not going to be a very big deal , i have a CPP crossmember and it isnt as tall as the Porterbuilt ones so i will just have to notch this one brace

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Just as long as the wife doesnt say your truck seats are nicer than our couch and we need a new couch! On another note what did you find out about your boy then?

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
LOL thats funny , well my wife came up with the interior idea so maybe she wont say anything !! As far as my boy goes EXTREMELY fustrating the only thing the Dr can say it that it is the worst case of Severs that he has ever seen (and he is a specialist) he wants him to wear this walking boot and crutches for 6 more weeks and if that doesnt work hes says he doesnt know what to do "maybe try accupuncture" his quote ??? does that sound like a solution ?? sounds like a guess to me ! VERY FUSTRATED
