Re: Project "Edna Marie"
Hey Vic, if you call Praxair in North Kansas City they can get the easy grind in for you. They might already have it in stock.

Thanks Scott. I can't wait to get it all welded in place and move on to the floors.

Re: Project "Edna Marie"
Well guys sorry for the lack of updates. It has been busy around the household with the end of school etc.. I have got a few things done though. Vic stopped by to help get out some dents around the back window.. They are looking pretty good. I also have the inner big rear window piece spot welded in and the inner roof is cleaned up with rust and is painted. I still have alot of work to do but it is progressing. I wont be able to get much done for a few weeks but hopefully I can find some time to post up some pics.

Re: Project "Edna Marie"
Well I have some good news.. I finally got the title for the truck. It has been a long process but I did get it so now i feel more comfortable putting more work in time into it. I also snagged a Pirelli 22in tire on ebay.. 295/30/22 I plan running this size in the rear. I am planning 20in wheels in the front. The tire was wrapped onto a forgiato wheel. Not a 5x5 bolt pattern though. I am still trying to figure out the bolt pattern of wheel and offset but I will be selling the wheel to make back some money. I will try to post some pics this weekend.

Re: Project "Edna Marie"
Wow I don't know how I missed this build. I live about 20minutes north of KC. It's nice to see another porterbuilt build so close to home. I plan on running an lq9 and 20/22 wheel combo. Great minds think alike!

Re: Project "Edna Marie"
Great job, I need to cut a roof off mine and replace it. I'm scared. I wished I lived in a dry state. Nice sheetmetal doesn't exist by me.
