Well it's a tight fit but it should work.....Time to fab up some mounts

mud.man.rj · 12-21-2014, 01:39 AM

Will the compressors get hot at all from the exhaust or just me not knowing any better. Do you know Bruno Peter's in Moose jaw, sold him a few cars, a big block Monte Carlo SS and a 68 Chevelle Pro street car, all were trades we made, I ened up with a 70 SS Camaro which was rougher than it looked and an 82 V8 S10, plus an 86 Short box 4wd, have both of those here now waiting for time to get started on them.

No I don't know him, unless he is Dericks son... I'm not sure about the heat....there is good clearance but I might put on a heat shield... time will tell.

I put the front sheet metal back on....This year is just about over and the truck looks the same as this time last year. But this year everything under the sheet metal is done

So here's to a New Year!!! and hopefully next year is another great year!!!

Sounds like a good plan Russ, wish I would have done that with mine. Everything looks great.

slowcpe · 01-06-2015, 01:06 AM

Well I just spent the last 2 evenings reading through your build. very nice work so far. Can't wait to see the finished product. Should be incredible.

Thanks Ryan!! I appreciate you taking the time to read my thread

In your opinion, would it be any easier to separate the rails from the crossmembers before you shortened them, as you did with the fishplating? I can see some advantage to being able to turn them any angle you want.

I am thinking of doing this too on an upcoming project. I think it would be good to turn/position the rails for the best welding position. I have access to some heavy tube that I would clamp the rails on to so that stay straight and true.

3" C channel here, so we're on the same thought process

RRC · 01-08-2015, 02:33 PM

I have'nt really thought about doing it that way......but if you are doing Porterbuilt cross members the frame will have to be squared up anyways. So as long as there straight and the same lenght I don't see it being a problem.

That sounds like a good plan, which ones are you planning on going to? You coming out here? We have some pretty good show & shines.

that would be a good test for it.
