Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
I ended up trimming my frame rails for the big block. Used a jigsaw and it worked out great with the powdercoat

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
On page 17 I notice that you cut 1/2 inch off your rails where the engine goes. I am planing on putting headers on my 350. Would the 1/2 inch be a problem or are you running over size headers? Just thing ahead again.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
That is quite a load! You must have a pretty understanding wife, too. I got a mechanical engineering degree when I was younger, but I know I'd do a lot better at it now that I'm older and have more discipline. I, too, was guessing you were getting an engineering degree, although back when I got mine, they weren't as concerned enough about making well rounded engineers to make you take a psychology class. My humanities/social studies classes were things like "The Automobile In America", "Philosophy Of Technology", and "Canadian History"... Yeah, my people skills are great...

![]() ![]() Here is the mini update! My Porterbuilt adjustable trac bar arrived today. Very nice quality. Their welds make mine look bad. Looks like I need to drill 3 holes for the frame side bracket and open 2 existing holes then this and all of my suspension parts go out for powder coating. I am mostly decided on a grey/silver for a nice contrast.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
Once you get your parts back from powdercoating, what kind of order are you going to continue on? rearend, rear suspension, front suspension, then wheels on for full rolling chassis, then set engine/trans on, then continue cab work?

I didn't get my suspension parts to the powder coater yet because I had to drill holes in the frame for the Porter Built trac bar. I had to email Porterbuit about the mounting to make sure I got it right ![]() . Note: There are not too many companies that will respond, much less email you pictures and walk you through an install. Most compaines forget you once you click the checkout button. Those companies also have "show" pictures on their website of their products and welds. You will not receive such nice parts but rather some kinda close-ish quality stuff. Porter Built is the only one to actually deliver the same quality that they show on their site. I speak from experience of having bought from many aftermarket companies of lowered/air ride suspension parts. Bravo to Porter Built! So here is one little pic of my tiny progress. parts will be dropped off Tuesday to be cleaned and or,blasted,then powder coated. Argent silver?? Grey? check back for details!

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
How much time do you have left on the ME degree, by the way? I ended up with two, a CE and an EE, but that just make my educational experience an inch deep and a mile wide.....kinda like my car restoration skills. Jack of all trades and master of none.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
Here are some display pieces from Topps. The colors are crazy but being inside in the shade the pics don't do them justice. The bikes are awesome.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
Steve, and others who want to know pricing, these are some quotes they gave me. I painted my frame but I asked just because.
Truck frame $450 Spindles (new). $35 each Control arms (dirty!). $25 per upper. $30 per lower Center link/sway bar (dirty) $25 each Trailing arms ( kinda dirty). $65 each PB rear trac bar kit (new). $40 They charge slightly more for dirty parts where they have caked on oil sludge etc. they blast everything old or new for better adhesion (included in price) If you bring a large batch they will work the budget a little with you.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
Found out today that a powder coating shop is moving in a block away from my shop in Yukon. I'll sashay over and check them out and let you know how they are.
