Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

thx dudes... The pics don't do justice..
Next week we'll have rubber mounted and hopefully get to rolling chassis status.


Anyone know a machine shop in Calgary that's good to work with? I need my axles redrilled.

Hit up C10CORIE , he was juist telling me the other day who he was using to redrill the axles in his suburban, but I cant remember the name of the shop.

Im gonna have to rip down one day and take a look, Super super impressive build. Keep it up!!!

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

Thanks Slammed...
Ya.. come on down anytime... Just PM me

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

Nice truck. Love the wheels too..

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

Great use for the kitchen table!!!!!! By the way you are going on that thing, you dont use it much anyways..

And yes, Corie does have a shop to machine your axels.

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

those wheels are clean! that looks like a pretty low ride height, i cant wait to see this thing a roller..

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

well ok.. you got me..... actually it isn't really ride height... unless I'm cruisin' a nice flat parking lot really slow.. :metal:

Pretty much that's how it will sit all aired out.

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

Kevin,

Your truck is looking awesome to say the least, and thank you again for the business...

Best Regards,

Those wheels are b!tchen man congrats..

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

Update....NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

Delmo is a slave-driver...

Somebody has to keep me in line though.. thanks brother..

Ok.. last weekend I removed my <<wrong size>> lower ball joints and got new guys pressed in...

Also had my rear axles machined to fit my McGaughy's rotors and bolt pattern.

Put together the front end (mostly) and popped the axles in..

Bought some cross sills, removed the steel floor (took way longer than I spected)..

Hit my head really hard on the two master cylinder bolts on the brake booster... (my head is bald so I don't have the early warning danger detection system you hairy dudes have)..

That's about it for progress...

Supposed to get my tires in sometime in the next 48 hrs so hope to have the thing sitting on wheels/rubber and the cab removed this weekend so I can do the rest of the body drop and start plumbing..

Oh.. and... I sold my extra porterbuilt chassis to a cool cat here in Calgary.. so I finally have a little bit of room to operate.

..sorry for the crappy pics..

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

It's not sitting right on the ground because the frame has a section under the cab where the frame rails bend/flare about 1 inch lower than the bottom of frame rail..

http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/DSCN2058.jpg

Not sure if I should try to bend this upwards or cut them out... will figure it out when I get the cab off...

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

Hey Kevin,

Your up late and the truck is looking great! Go get some sleep before you slip with a screwdriver...
