Re: Heisenberg
So as many are going to cringe at what you are about to see, believe me there is method to the madness. This is what we are starting with, a fresh off the lot 56 street rod. Blown 454, turbo 400,Camaro clip, rear disc, custom tan leather interior done running truck. Forgot to mention, every nut and bolt on this truck are (were) orange. The truck had a good stance, strong engine 4 wheel disc brakes. So why change it right?
Well for many resaons just like we don't use 8 track players anymore this baby needed some serious upgrades althoug it was a fairly fresh build. PJF wanted the lastest and greatest suspension, engine / trans, wiring, etc etc. The camaro front works great for the budget and has been done for many years, not hacking on it at all. But what a more latest and greatest suspension than one that hasn't even been built yet. So with a call to Nate Porter over and Porterbuilt we got on the discussion of 55-59 trucks he said it's been on his to do list. So with promises of a long walk on the beach he started on the first ever bolt on front end for 55-59 that will lay rocker to the ground and still ride and handle like a dream. Let me show you the victim first then I'll give you more juicy details later.

Re: Heisenberg
PJF is a crazy cat. I saw his...scratch that...I heard his Mercedes and said WTF? Then saw the cut up orange juice 56 and said WTF? Then I was introduced to this due who looked like my brother but with a mustache and said WTF? Got to talkin and found out he was a machine gun toting internet guru and said WTF? Can't wait to see the finished product and say....Nice Job.
Good luck on your build fellas |

Re: Heisenberg
I just remembered that truck was at Delmos after the cpp show! I wondered what that truck was doing there, seemed very out of place. It's gonna be badass when you're done
