Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
I’ve got Martha running, driving and far enough along to enjoy. This means I’m about to dive back into Walter

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
^^^Thanks guys! I’m ready too. My malady now is...do I use the PorterBuilt chassis and accuair or do I sell it and just go static drop.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Why not PB chassis & C/O's? That's what I'm doing for my 64's front PB air-bag set-up. I'm making front upper brackets for some C/O's. My PB Dropmember is one of the early designs that he doesn't offer a C/O alternative for so I'm making my own.

I actually already have another set of the CPP modular spindles for The Wilwood brakes. That sucks!!! If I go static, I’d need front & rear springs and a c-notch. |

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
My PorterBuilt F/R setup is the previously available touring versions. So I didn’t have to notch the frame for the r&p, but in the rear is a much larger notch than the little bolt in one that the mild gets. It’ll get to about 1/2” off the floor in the front and about 1-1/2” in the rear. I currently have a steel floor, but I’m not apposed to swapping to a wood floor, since it’ll have to be raised/changed anyway.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Keep what you have & work w/that. PB should have easily swappable brackets to get you to the C/O option or build your own.
A bolt-in c-notch won't get you the clearance you need (want) for worry (impact) free driving. With a steel floor, locating the sheet metal & raising the floor for necessary clearance is even easier (after cutting & chopping things up ![]()

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Nothing wrong w/that either. I can't afford the high end air management control set-ups w/the height + pressure sensors controlling auto height adjustments & seen more than a couple NET stories of failed control units so I stick to basic old school air management which becomes old when driven a lot. Thus, my decision to go coil-over.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
I don’t have to super fancy accuair setup. Just the manifold, compressors, and controls.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
I skip any electronic 'control'. Pneumatic paddle valves for all 4 corners, 2 small Thomas comps, & 2 3gal alum tanks is what has worked.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
I am using an electronic controller; the Switchspeed setup from accuair. But Yep, 2 compressors and 2x 3-gallon tanks.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
I also ordered a set of wheels for Walter today. Pretty basic stuff... 20” American Racing grey Torque Thrust’s and Toyo Proxes ST-3’s: 20x8” with 255/45r20 & 20x10” with 295/40r20’s. I need them before I can even move Walter back to the lift.
I really wanted to go with Salt Flat’s, but my vanity got the best of me in that I want the brakes to show ![]() Last edited by nlped; 01-25-2020 at 11:46 PM. |

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Tires arrived today and the wheels show the expected delivery date as tomorrow. If they show up, I’ll mount them tomorrow night and get them on Walter so I can move him to the 2-post. Then this weekend, my next attempt for getting him done will begin!

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Now that I’ve gotten the Falcoon to a satisfactory stopping point and have started back on Walter. I got the new wheels & tires mounted tonight and on so I can get him moved to the 2-post lift. I think they look great with the big Wilwood brakes behind them... I’m off Friday-Monday, so I’m hoping to get a lot accomplished this weekend.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
I got Walter moved over to the 2-post and broke him apart. But here are a coupe of pictures to show front at approximate ride height and how close the rear bumper gets to the pavement with the biga$$ 29-1/2” tall tire.
