Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
just read the entire thing. GREAT BUILD !!!! In looking at all the choices I only don't like 1 much and that is the hood hinge, makes it look partially open or is it just the picture?
You do very nice work and I must agree it is cheaper and easier to do it right the first time. Will keep watching 4 sure. |

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
I got mine from local hardware guy....bought a quart (only size there) at lowes first to try it...The trick to this stuff is to rinse with water after stripping...dry off...then re-dip and let dry if your not priming quickly....google it...it's everywhere

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Here's the pic ....rounded out around neck....also trimmed the edge holding the upper rubber..it was touching top of radiator....look close under that pair of pliers and u can see that 3/16" rolled edge effect...plug welded those panels below...that small edge of panel facing radiator will be welded ...will all be cleaned up and probably body color...jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
A little progress on 1 piece windows.....In my opinion they are about as good as u get for a full glass in a oddball door..that said let me give a few pointers...study the videos on U-tube....Ben gives some updates and changes that are not in hand manual...as far as those of u asking about "loose" in mid stroke...answer is yes...but its a shortfall worth it for the look....just wouldn't roll down the road with window half way down...it doesn't have front or rear channels so it needs to be all up or all down...its has a front guide down low and that will get the window where it needs to be when going up....got lucky and with slight mods the bear claw latch will work...glass crosses at angle near top of latch...however scratch my head on still being able to use Ring Brothers latches and make a mechanical linkage...glass is 3/4" from end of door..so trying to snake behind will be a pain........thinkin and drawin as we speak.........
Try this one (forgot to tell yall..I deal with electronics daily with railroad!!)......Push in on ring bros. handle....mechanically moves micro sw....which fires heavy duty door poppers on bear claw..door opens...outside door key moves another micro sw...which cuts power to 1st sw....button push in but no fire...locked out.....turn key to unlock position...power restored..button works Inside door have mechanical door pull overriding popper and mechanically releases bear claw.......Old school on the outside....new school under the skins..... Thoughts??? ......jim
