good, Call him if you need anything.

atp · 10-04-2007, 10:37 PM

A few more pics...the last one is why I am a little behind!

atp · 10-04-2007, 10:40 PM

I have also installed the ART rear trailing arm kit, replaced the "rust" and ordered a ton of goodies. I will post more pics ASAP.

Thanks Nathan (porterbuilt) for the dropmember - I'm lovin' it!

Looking great, and congrats on the little one.

**jaros44sr** · 10-05-2007, 06:36 AM

On the new baby, nice to see a new family starting

Nice work on the front suspension, I can see why your a little short on time. Keep up the pics. when get a minute

**N2TRUX** · 10-05-2007, 09:35 AM

WOW! You are ceartainly headed in the right direction now. That Porterbuilt Dropmember should get you a huge jump on getting the front on the ground. The C-4 stuff is just icing on the cake.

Congrats on the new addition....

crzngmychvy · 10-05-2007, 11:57 AM

Congratulations on the baby!

More progress.

I took the frame to Powder coated. Wheels arrived (pics to come).
I started cleaning and paint the 6.0 and started the dash. As you can see...

atp · 12-16-2007, 03:21 PM

A little more progress.

Ben IV · 12-16-2007, 03:31 PM

Looking great. How do you like that kobalt compressor? I bought the same model, just gotta get it wired up.

**Hart_Rod** · 12-16-2007, 03:33 PM

Thats a sweet looking chassis! What are the specs on the wheels??

Rob

atp · 12-16-2007, 06:16 PM

Wheels are Foose Nitrous II's
Front 20x8.5
Rear 20x10 (5.5" BS)

Tires are BFG's 295.40's and 245.40s

PBFAB.COM · 12-16-2007, 07:19 PM

It's looking awesome Adam!

atp · 12-17-2007, 10:19 AM

Thanks Nathan - The dropmember looks great powder coated. Thanks for sending the new bushings for the mounts!

**jaros44sr** · 12-17-2007, 10:47 AM

That project is going to be top shelf by the way it is starting out. Could you post up some close ups of the crossmembers you installed, when you get a minute. By the looks of the family you may not have many

Are you doing the sheet metal repair yourself, looks like your capable enough from your work on the dash

atp · 12-17-2007, 01:10 PM

Here is a pic of porterbuilt's dropmember c4. It is a bad picture but all I have for now. I will take a load of pics once I install the wilwood brakes and shockwaves...

As for sheet metal work - no I can't do the quality of work this project deserves.

**jaros44sr** · 12-17-2007, 01:41 PM

That is a thing of beauty, much better look than the old stock stuff. Wish he was into 4X stuff...

65-72 chevytoys · 12-19-2007, 11:51 AM

THat last pic is just the trucks future owner. That looks great all powder coated and I love the wheels.

NEVERENOUGH · 12-19-2007, 12:35 PM

Wow cool project and it seems to be coming together quite nice. This is my ulimate dream cruiser.

atp · 12-23-2007, 05:36 PM

The Wilwoods are on!

atp · 12-23-2007, 05:37 PM

Here's a better pic of the dropmember c4 with the shockwaves installed...

atp · 12-23-2007, 05:40 PM

And the tank...

Does anyone think i will have any clearance issues??

72BlckButy · 12-23-2007, 06:38 PM

**jaros44sr** · 12-24-2007, 02:49 AM
