It's great stuff! but when they tell you three weeks and it five weeks for one part? and don't return three calls?

Gipper01 · 04-25-2013, 09:46 PM

Most commoners do understand what a quality product is and also recognize that quality is at the forefront of most successful businesses. Perhaps choosing where to make a purchase from is based quality, quick product turnaround, or is it A-one customer service etc, I tend to believe it’s these and many other factors. Anyway, one thing is for certain, successful businesses are always (not occasionally) backed by satisfied customers. That’s all I got to say

You will have a much better idea when you start installing your front kit on the 59.

I can't figure out what that pieces is for either, and I already installed my front kit on my 58. What is it?

It's part of the main rail where the crossmember, airbag mount, and upper control arm mount tie together. Just hard to tell with it seperated like it is in the pic.

AAHH , now it makes sense

Pro Performance · 04-26-2013, 10:36 AM

It s looks like something that the drop member gets bolted to. Maybe this piece gets welded to the 55-59 frame, so that the drop member can bolt up to it??? That's my guess anyways. Now you have me curious.

broey · 04-26-2013, 10:46 AM

nice!

jimmydean · 04-26-2013, 11:42 AM

I guess the way I see it, Nate has been waiting for my money for about 2 years now, so 8 weeks after he finally gets it seems like a sweet deal to me.

1lo67 · 04-26-2013, 03:58 PM

Well worth the wait... Gonna do it again when the 47-53 stuff starts to roll.

Ordered mine on March 18th, so I'm approaching the 6 week mark! Very excited to get the ball rolling.

I got mine about a year ago, I would wait as long as it takes to get another one if I do another project, the quality is that good. Being in an automotive customer serviced based business myself (service advisor), I see all kinds of people. There's the people that have no idea what it really takes to work on vehicles and people that appreciate how difficult it can be and just want their car fixed right no matter how long it takes. Personally I just try to under promise and over deliver so everybody is happy.

**oldman3** · 04-29-2013, 10:19 AM

Looks great...Jim

Gipper01 · 05-02-2013, 09:46 PM

Looking nice, can't wait to see the chassis on wheels. I'm expecting my mild rear (step) PB dropmember in next week

......I have been patiently waiting. I hope to achieve the crispness you have on you frame. I like the look and texture of the John Deer blitz black paint and I 'm contemplating on using it for my entire frame......been dusting off the old painting skills with paint guns from Harbor Freight. I figure the right mix of paint and harder should do the frame well. Again, looking good!!

broey · 05-02-2013, 10:07 PM

Looks really good!

Thanks, I can't wait to see it down on its wheels too. It's been like 9 months since it was a roller

broey · 05-04-2013, 06:58 PM

HAHAHAH I wish it was two weeks but as stated the wait is well worth the product.

Bennett68C10 · 05-06-2013, 08:34 AM

Got my control arms painted up and installed this weekend. Put my brakes back on and snapped a pick with my front wheel on. Was checking my brake clearance before they get mounted and balanced.

RRC · 05-04-2013, 08:04 PM

Posted via Mobile Device I got my notches welded in today....and for the wait times , if you can't wait 6-8 weeks for quality parts..... How long does it take the average guy in his garage to do a frame up resto? 6-8 weeks is a drop in the bucket
