Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Have you discussed partnering with anyone who makes a product requiring yours I.e. Porterbuilt,Scott's , about A. Cataloging your stuff and B. allowing you to kick in on their space for a chunk of change? A simple stand with a fender/tub combo off each side would go far, I think. Get stupid and put a matching wheel/tire combo on the base of the stand and airbag the center support and bounce the display. Beeyotchin! Either way, enjoy a trip 90% of us will never get to take, and relish the experience for what it is.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
well we got in a few hours on Sunday, Gary started painting Porterbuilt parts, while i tackled another "while you are at it job" my frame was on the rotisseree and upside down while i was sanding it, i started looking at all the holes in the bottom frame rails.....and you know what happened next , I welded them all up and started body working all of the "worked" spots on the frame like where i shave the power steering mounts, and so on ! anyway here are all of the pictures ! The goal is to have this frame back completely painted and assembled by next SUNDAY, motor/driveline/airride !! gonna be a lloooooooong week !

Now... coming from a technical background and knowing a little bit about these forums, You may be able to talk to the Admins here and have them enable the "Donation System" (see attached pic below) which will put a small donation count on the front page of the forums and give people a direct link to make a donation/buy a ticket. To me.... This is what these forums are all about. You deserve to be at sema and just think all the recognition these forums would get if we, as a community, sent you there.

another idea would be to use a slightly adapted dropmember withouth the ford rack and with a towbar welded to it , you only need some sort of trackrods and a mount for them on the dropmember to keep the wheels straight and maibe some brakeassist system if you do it that way nate could use the same trailer to promote his products (dropmember heatercutout hinges and watever else he decides to make for our trucks that will sit under the hood )

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
i kindah wonder how the filler will hold up over time , the frame flexes more than a car body

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
It doesnt have much filler just on the spots you see, i had a minitruck that i smoothed the complete frame on, and it had filler from front to back with air ride and a hydraulic tilt bed and i never had any issues with it and it was a daily driver !

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
With today's fillers and a little sense when applying .....never really a problem..most of body fillers bad rap came because of those that applied them!!..And those that claim this car is restored with "NO fillers"??? .....well on 2nd thought I won't get started............jim

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
seen a kids movie a long time ago where the truck had the bed with top on a sissor lift , it could lift the bed to sit higher than the cab , it could allso rotate like a merry go round
the truck in the movie was driving around with a guy in that bed feeling like he was in a tumbledryer its in the clip around 6.00 kindah stupid but cool if you look at the fabrication of the stuff under the bed
