Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Ok been too long---So I felt after lots of calls to Nate-I needed to show some progress on this frame--Put dash on hold for 2 wks and put dropmember together--showing a pic most people don't see--frame upside down w/dropmember installed-New Z06 rear 14" brakes --Waiting on front spindles and brakes from Boris---Installing rearend for mockup and then off to rebuilder 1st of week--Got the bulkhead fitting to finish under dash so i can weld in new dash--shame where i'm installing bulkhead u can't see it--very nice piece---Have a good wkend guys............jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
The frame and brakes look great Jim! What's the story on the firewall fitting? Is that from Vintage Air or someone else?

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Fitting off of ebay--will be mounted in bottom of firewall original fresh air pooch-will show pics in day or 2 when mounted-too nice to hide but i'm anal about hiding things-Frame will be eventually disassembled and shot in a satin black-Someone told Nate all those bolts look like lites on Christmas tree!! I'm going to paint them in place with frame just for ease of doing --But I tell U -If U every had a worry about most of this dropmember being bolted--don't be --It is the coolest engineered piece for the "DIY---ER" I've ever seen............jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
I am totally ignorant about this - is the front end an aftermarket? This is literally the first time I have seen a rack installed on this style of truck. Looks great....

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Dash looks totally awesome, I am going to be doing the same thing with mine, did you have to extend the dash width wise to get it fit properly? A couple more pics of how you went about it would really help. Thanks! Keep up the kick @ss work!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Had to add 3 1/2 " in middle---5" on each end--Did not take a lot of pics putting it together but will add more soon when i permanantly install dash---...........Just showed a guy today the Slosh Tubz--gasped for a moment on the price but came around quickly when he saw the workmanship and time savings for me...........jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Looks like a pretty top notch build, have you looked at the e-z clip aeroquip fittings for A/C, in my opinion look pretty sharp, and they don't have the stupid crimp on them...
