Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

wow..lot of progress..those rivets are time consuming !!

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

good progress tearing it down. now comes the fun part... putting it back together without scratching up that pretty frame.

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

yeah especially since my buddy couldn't deal with the air hammer noise so I had to pound them out with a hammer lol


Was fun though.

I did run into one issue the rear end is apparently out of a 90's chevy truck I think.

Its a 9.5 inch 14 bolt I tried to run the numbers but found nothing.

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

rear end taken apart
all holes drilled for new Porterbuilt stuff
mocked up all the parts and its ready for powder.

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

looking good man... Since you are doing the drop member are you going with rack n pinion? didnt see that in the pic of parts.

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

good looking truck man cant wait to see some more pictures.

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

Nice progress

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

Been putting in some time. Had to take a day off after nearly grinding off my pointer finger, gashing the front with a cut off wheel and then sledge hammering my knee. It was an injury laden day for me lol ..

thanks man

Yeah its is still in the box. Got the whole setup man. I debated the rack but after thinking about it I couldn't resist. Such a better steering system and looks so clean compared to the gear box.

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

got it all out to the powder coaters today. Time to be lazy and enjoy my days off fishing for a week or two.

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

looks like a lot of fun...

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

Going to be super nice!!!

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

Can't wait to see the finished product.

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

Me either I am only 30 days into it and have got a lot done. Hopefully I can keep the pace. I had a large un expected expenditure come in the area of 8.5k so that will take some wind out of my sails for a bit. But the powder coater will need 2 weeks due to the back log they currently And I am gonna just take a nice 2 week break on top of that so not much will be done for a month.

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

any update?

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

Nah everything is still at the coater's I took some more stuff. So I have been just relaxing and not busting knuckles lol .

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

Nice build man!Youre gonna love that metallic silver powder coat,thats the color I went with.I think Im gonna stick to gloss black powder on the rails though.:smoke:

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

Yeah I though about that but with the custom orange bed liner underneath I didn't want it to look like Halloween under there. Dark Charcoal metallic will look much better for my liking on the rails and give it a bit of flare with the silver metallic.

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

Scchweeeeeeeeeeeeeet I get my frame back tomorrow.

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

less talk more...PICS !! LOL

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

soon Brotha Soon. I work weekends so I will pic the frame up tuesday at 9 and then its all about the rebuild. Gonna get the frame back together and then rebuild the rear end and buy wheels.

Once the rear axle is set I will plumb all the lines and post a bajillion pics.

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

LOL...cant wait

Re: Project TiC TaC cause it gonna be orange.....
 

Well gotta finish rebuilding the rear end before I put it all back together so the frame is not just taking up a ton of space at my buddies shop plus it gives me time to order the wheels. . But the powder work is amazing best I have seen.
