Great looking project! I love the LSX and porterbuilt combo. Are there Slosh Tubz in your future or do you have something else planned??

Thanks for the compliment. As for the Slosh Tubz, I am just going to be using a little modified stock fender wells. Not going to crazy with laying frame and all that.

The valve covers are from Katech and the accessory drive is a Vintage Air front runner

Well it took a little longer than expected to get the frame back due to the holidays. But now, time to get busy putter her back together.

powder coated frame:

Firewall preped, all misc holes filled, about to get ready to sand, prime and paint the firewall. Firewall should be done by Saturday.

For now, they will be 12" disc in front with rebuilt drums in the back. I will upgrade those when I figure out what rims I want to put on. Then I will upgrade to big brakes then. Probably Wilwood all around.

mooseknuckles · 01-10-2013, 09:24 PM

cool...just noticed you're runnin the cpp spindles in the pic, and they have the bracket for the caliper...I'm thinkin of getting the 6piston 14"rotor for mine, which require that spindle type...thanks.

NewType72 · 01-11-2013, 03:56 AM

droolin over that frame wow I love it!

effects66 · 01-15-2013, 08:31 PM

Boyd's gas tank installed. Amazing product. Fits like a glove.

And she's a roller again.

Still have to plum air lines, fuel and brake before the body goes on. Hopefully dropping the engine and trans in the next day or so.

NewType72 · 01-15-2013, 10:43 PM

killer progress love the laid out look

mcbassin · 01-15-2013, 10:51 PM

Foundation looks great!

effects66 · 01-16-2013, 08:26 PM

Thanks for the complements everyone. Really trying to get what I call phase two completed within 2 months. My definition of Phase 2 is complete drive train and suspension and then enjoy the truck for a bit. Then, work up to phase 3. Paint, body and esthetics.

Well plugging along here. Firewall cleaned up and painted hot rod black

effects66 · 01-17-2013, 07:19 PM

Fuel tank installed and plumbed to the engine

effects66 · 01-17-2013, 07:27 PM

engine and trans in:

So I had purchased the Doug Thourley headers and they are a little tight of a fit. They don't rub or touch but super close to the engine mount. So I might put a spacer between the engine and engine mounts to give it just a tad more clearance. Really no biggy. Simple fix.

effects66 · 01-17-2013, 07:31 PM

Thinking a head of time about what engine I wanted, I know I also didn't want the truck oil pan to hang below the front crossmember. So with a lot of research, I used the CTS-V oil pan. Fits like a glove and above the front crossmember. I highly recommend it.
