Sorry Nate I didn't mean to talk about your BALLS in public

Hey Nathan how will these trailing arms work with my setup? Would i be able to get rid of the lowering blocks? I also need some rear shocks from you and some air fittings. I'll call you some time next week. Any time better then another?

Thanks Ray

Put it in the box w/my arms for field testing & consider it done

That is why i went with Porter built stuff in the first place, i am picky. Sorry if i had hurt anyones feelings, not my intent.

As a powdercoater if i get a customer that brings me a part that looks real bad [lots of slag] I telll them i can clean this up or leave it,it only takes a minute or two to hit it with a 3m disc.

lowdownstar · 08-29-2009, 02:29 PM

My PC just forget to tell the young kid to clean them up before they coated them. I forgot i didn't do them till i got to the PC shop. I like to clean everything up before a paint, coat, or polish anything! I am taking my time to even polish the shafts for the A-arms as well as all the bolts. It's just me.
That is why they call it a sickness, and I am one sick SOB!

Attension to detail and alittle extra effort makes the whole job that much better and noticed in the positive way

I'm building mine to drive, so road rash and some character is a welcome
addition to my ride

(I can hear people gasping through my monitor)

**67cheby** · 09-01-2009, 12:50 PM

i clicked on it now i see , its a freakin awesome weld. WOW

joe231 · 09-01-2009, 02:10 PM

so....any plans to adapt this set up to the 73-up frame?

I have been kicking around the idea of swapping a '72-earlier trailing arm suspension into my '80....

Those are the PB line of tig'ed paper weights. I've got one

There's another company working on a knock-off already, but Nate is ahead of the game with v2.3 almost ready for launch

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-01-2009, 05:01 PM

Got the cross member in, going to put the rear springs on
and then soon as the u-bolts get here she will be rolling!

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-07-2009, 09:52 PM

Actually I was just messing with Craig and Scoti. I know they have been waiting eagerly and it seemed like a good opportunity to give them a poke in the ribs. Unfortunately they didn't fall for it.....

**67cheby** · 09-10-2009, 09:03 AM

I already purchased ECE's extreme drop crossmember, but my trailing arms ... they're just ugly. I like this better, and it saves me from making blocks.

Questions:

- How long till the panhard bar will be released?

- Is there any other option in the meantime (for panhard bar)?

- Any e-brake provisions?

- Will the geometry be much different...I mean to say, if I've laready drilled for my bags using the ECE center crossmember and the stock trailing arms, will I be re-drilling anything because of differences (either the framerail holes or the CPP C-Notch plate where bags mount)?

- Are these powdercoated, are there diff't prices for PC'd versus non-PC'd?

- Do you have any plans for shock relocation to this, or is this a n00b question?

- What is average pay-to-ship time?

I'm trying to get my frame, etc. in for powdercoating by Oct 1st. After looking at my trailing arms this weekend, they're good, but man ... meh. This is nicer and more inline with what I want.
