Nice work! My Dad and I go to the "Run to the Sun" in Myrtle Beach every year too!

Thanks guys. Maybe we can have an east coast meet sometime with all the people that go or near there.

Didn't get a lot done today other than picking it up and mounting the new shocks all around and puting the rally wheels back on it. Had to paint a rear corner extension for my uncle 67 mustang that was chipped when installing some mouldings.

No progress today. Recieved a high hump firewall section today from 1960chevypanel. For the daily driver. Ya never know when this one might be bagged as well... On a great note ups delivery of porterbuilt complete suspension is to be delivered tomorrow....

Haven't posted In a bit but a lot has been going on... First off.

I recieved all the porterbuilt suspension parts front and rear this past week... Hurt my back trying to lug a couple of those boxes into the shop by myself... second off worked pretty hard trying to get the frame back together for the daily.put the engine and trans in, shortbed a firebird driveshaft and installed it,run fuel lines, installed an old intake on the engine, new fuel pump,and some trans lines that I'm going to modify when I get the radiator in. Ordered a short water pump pulley setup and going tomorrow to get a new short water pump.got the exhuast remodified and the trans mount and parking brake mount all installed and bolted in. Rearend fluid in and new shocks on.nitro drop shocks on the rear and some off brand black ones on the front.
Tonight I started cutting the really really bad repair that someone put in the firewall. I have a reusable piece from another doner cab. Clean it up tomorrow at work and then weld it in wendsday night . Have to finish cutting the rest of the old hole for the high hump..... Gonna be nice. Both trucks with high hump.

I've been working on other things and sons soccer games, went to charlotte auto fair on sat and picked up some things for the truck. Front and rear bumpers,a billet trans dipstick,billet trans pan, tailgate and a front bed panel.

Got the back panel in first coat of filler and sanded and painted and cleared the firewall on the daily. Hopeing to get the cab set back on the frame this weeks and bolted back down. Just wanting to get the daily back together so I can start back on the 66...I'm so ready.

Worked on cleaning up the shop today, cut the complete bed floor out of the driver.... Decking boards screwed to steel diamond plate floor... Welded completely around the perimeter..over the factory bed floor and rails... Removed the front bed panel and wheel tubs and set it back on the frame for a raised bed floor and raised wheel tubs for cuter bagg job on the daily.

Also got the frame out and u boxed all the parts for the porterbuilt suspension. Started assembly of the dropmember front and the step notch and crossmembers for the rear. Only one problem.... I'm kinda winging all this. I have no pics and instructions for anything porterbuilt... None😞. Hopefully Nate fill send me something on where all these boots and nuts and brackets go.

Rear kinda put together, still a lot to do

Drilled the holes and set the trans mount last eve. Put the front wheels and tires on and put it on rollers for the time being till I can get the Frame set at 5" for ride hight. Then I'll weld the rear mounts and some brake line tabs and mockup the sensors for the air ride. Won't get much done till next week sometime.

[ChuckDriver]

Man that looks awesome!

[chevy6guy9]

Thanks chuck, hope it all falls together now.

[chevy6guy9]

Haven't gotten much done, went to a truck show near home and visited family. So today I made some mods to the porterbuilt trans crossmember to accept 3" exhuast. Also got the tie rods cut and installed and brake line tabs welded front and rear.
Waiting to hear from Nate about the panhard bar kicking the rear over to far when layd out. Till I get that worked out I'm not welding the bag brackets on the rear. Also got the new 3" slip joint 2 piece driveshaft with urethane center mount ordered. Should be here this week. Was going to use the one I bought but the slip joint had a cracked end I didn't see when I got it. So I'll use it for parts in the future.
