Pics?

[dojo]

OOOps I guess a picture would be nice..........

[jocko]

oh man, that's looking awesome.

I was gonna ask earlier, is the rack & pinion steering setup part of the pb pkg - or did u add it? (I assume it's part of the pkg). Either way - what type of r&p is it? Looks unisteer-ish...

I'd love to do a side by side comparison of just how much better a r&p set up is on the same truck (ok, not really side by side then, but you get my drift).

That is a very nice looking chassis and the truck on it is gonna be sweet.
Paint plans?

[dojo]

The r&p is from a 79-93 Mustang as far as paint, we are going with a pearl orangish/tangerinish on bottom and pearl white on top with some sort of colored line in between. Hopin it looks good!!

[ChevyGearHeads]

looks nice

[dojo]

So the pearl white is on for a base coat and the flames are on, bittersweet orange going on the bottom this week.

Looks killer! Love the ride height. I wondered what that frame was going under...

very nice build so far will check back in

[dojo]

OK, so maybe a few of you guy's could give me some input on the braking sustem on this thing. Have wilwood disc all the way around and have been reading alot on a Hydro Boost system. Any thoughts, advice on this system?? I sure like the idea of a cleaner firewall and I am learning they will stop you instantly. Power steering pump I am sure will work, came from Vintage air on the frontrunner kit. Talk to me......

That frame looks amazing! I just realized that Porterbuilt is like 20min from my house... hmmm...

[dojo]

Got the Bttersweet orange on, waiting on pin stripper to come to paint shop.

[dojo]

Those are not the wheels going on it. Those are the wrong size wheels that Santa Claus brought and did not read my list correctly
20's and 18's are being built by INTRO. Should be here in 4 weeks.

Ya know, we sure have been pondering a lime green pin striping. Going with the Intro twisted blade wheels.

[lolife99]

The 6-spoke Americans look like they fit fine.
Maybe they just need a shorter tire.
They won't fit this good up front on a non-Dropmember equipped truck.

What do you not like about them?

[dojo]

The 20's in front won't fit. The end of the tie rod is hitting and there is NO room with the inner fender well. They have the wrong backspacing. I thought, well heck, I will just get some 18" for the front, well, they don't make a 18" in that wheel, so that idea got thrown out. And, can't get Goodyear Eagles in 18's for the front. Had to buy new wheels and tires. Hopefully everything fits when it all comes in. It all should fit if our measurements are correct.

[dojo]

Can you guy's help me where to find replacement windows??? I got the windshield and the rear window covered here at home.....but, the door windows and the wing window, where is the best place to get them. Also, would like to have them tinted. I see Brothers has the whole replacement wing window, might be a good idea to just replace the whole thing. Any comments would help. Truck is getting clear coats as we speak, motor is getting dyno'ed and should be dropping it in this week. I will have pics up shortly. Any feedback on the windows sure would help.

Thanks!!!

I'll trade you my build budget for 1/137th of yours....Okay?

[dojo]

Ha Ha, well, to tell you the truth, I am finding out.....or my wife is finding out, that this is a once in a life time thing. Fun, yet very spendy indeed. She keeps saying Mama needs a new pair of shoes, I keep saying not yet. But, we are getting closer everyday.

[Andy4639]

Nice looking project man.

I used these guys for my glass. They can cut you anything you need.

So we got the clear coat on this week. Motor going in Monday. Assembly....finally!!!

[prostreetC-10]

LOL.....at first I thought you had some wacky-ass tool box or bed cover in the back and then I noticed it was the glove box door upside down!!

Went to Wheatland when we were there also, WOW is all we could say!!

Small world. I am from the same area. Little north of Bolivar, from a little town called Humansville. Used to hit up all them dirt tracks back in the day, Wheatland is one of my favorites to go to. I remember when Bolivar Speedway was dirt, now asphalt unfortunately. Still cool to go watch a race when I make it that way. What town you from?

BTW, your truck is coming a long pretty nice.
