Deffinantly Looking killer!

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

Ummm... YEAH! That is what I want!!! dig that idea. I have c4 front and rear crossmembers and control arms, been trying to figure out the best way to use them. Keep the pictures coming brother! I love it!:metal::metal::metal::metal:

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

Mine is a '78 with 255/35/20 up front. A/C didn't fit. With a little modification it might though, it's close.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

Nate's C4 stuff is sooo sweet. I bought a Corvette just to run it, but then couldn't cut it up :( The only thing for me was the cost of the shockwaves were too much for my budget. If I win the lotto, I would run Nate's C4 front/rear in a second.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

I'm running it with coilovers for that reason. Plus air management cost and complexity.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

2 months and 2 weeks still no show of the parts.. That's 10 weeks total..............

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

I wanted to run the select ride Shockwaves. Similar to the FX3 suspension that was on my C4 Corvette using an actuator adjusted valve to switch from performance to comfort mode on the fly. :drool:

After my first air truck, I will never go back to static dropped vehicles again. :lol:

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

Its worth the wait!

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

is anyone else following porterbuilt on Instagram?? his newest version of the dropmember is so awesome!!

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

Wow, making work of the new press brake and water jet quite nicely.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

So Nate,... what is the name for this "newest" Dropmember???

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

The new dropmember looks sweet

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

I was thinking about calling it the Version: "Stop wasting my time changing things and move on to another product already". But felt that it didn't roll off the tongue very well. :lol:

This will just be known as the Dropmember (technically it's the 5th design version and incorporates a few touches from each of the previous ones along with a few added features).... I am done tweaking and changing things... for now. ;)

I am extremely pleased with this one... the new equipment has really been paying off.

Nate

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

very very nice ....my next project will have one for sure

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

Which years will that be for? Looks like it might allow more exhaust clearance for the trifives.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

This design is used for all our current kits 55-87. Exhaust clearances should be the same.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

Redesign every 18 months/ 2 years = Smart Business!!

New DM looks killer Nate! My next project will have one... Maybe an F100 DM;)

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

Whose arms are those, MMW?

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

Oh well. I was hoping there would be a solution besides Delmo's custom manifolds for LS motors.

:lol: I like the design of this one a lot!

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

We actually call this one "Mr. Crabs" in the shop..... because the piece that gets cut out of the sheet before we press brake and form it looks like a crab (kind of). LOL

Besides, we are trying to get away from the kitchen utensil stigma. ;)

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

The F100 kit should be done soon, along with our 47-55 first series kit for the AD trucks. :metal:

As if things weren't busy enough around here. :ito:

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

We are working on a solution for this as well... if you received one of our kits a few months ago or previous.

Have you purchased your kit yet? I ask because we changed things up a little on the 55-59 kits a couple months back that make exhaust and steering linkage a bit easier to negotiate.

Not an LS motor pictured.... but thought I would post it anyways.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

Getting in line this week. Mine will be the one with coilovers instead of air. Do you know a set of headers that will fit with a LS motor?

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
 

I will know soon. I will be mocking up a complete kit on a chassis over the next few weeks.

Nate

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
