Heisenberg
 

So Heinsenberg is a German theoretical physicist who made foundational contributions to quantum mechanics and is best known for asserting the uncertainty principle of quantum theory. Or he is Walt's alter ego on the series Breaking Bad. Well I think I may have found a guy who may be both.
I get a call from this cat who is overly excited to build a really bad a## truck and starts to explain his plan. Right away I knew this guy knew his stuff right down to every detail. Pretty sure he's been planning this madness before he could legally drive. Ultra smart dude and with a few screws loose, just the way I like em. I'm stoked to hear what he has to say either way. We go over some details and before you know I have a deposit and the ball is rolling.
Here is the layout. 1956 Chevy Stepper with big back window ( you'll see what i have to start with soon). First ever 55-59 Porterbuilt front and rear chassis set up. This thing will be sitting on the pavement. Brand new in the box LS3 with 4l65e, Mosier 9 inch, Posi, big brakes and a set of Delmo Specialties wheels to roll on. This one is going to be fun. So I give you "Heisenberg".

Re: Heisenberg
 

Long time lurker here on the forum... finally took the plunge at the end of last year.
I'm beyond stoked to have Del building my dream ride for me and to have the first dropmember on a 55-59. I don't take any of this for granted.

Got a lot of help from my bro RP aka "c10Mang" on the direction I will be going with it, he added lots of fuel to the fire and got me in touch with Del.
Having religiously subscribed to all of Del's build threads I know this was the only way to go.

Haha, a few screws loose is putting it very nicely. I'm missing bolts!

Enough rambling, this ain't about me - it's about the truck and Delmo working his vodoo black magic, and of course the great work Nate has done as well.

Re: Heisenberg
 

Been waiting a long time for this build thread! This thing is going to be nuts. PUMPED!

Re: Heisenberg
 

Coool!

Re: Heisenberg
 

Ohhhh....this one's gonna be awesome!!

Re: Heisenberg
 

ohhh wee, gonna be another sweet one

Re: Heisenberg
 

I'm along for the ride....Jim

Re: Heisenberg
 

Im pumped for this build.

very intrigued to see what porterbuilt has developed for these as well..

your in High demand these days Delmo!!!

Re: Heisenberg
 

Signing up for this one also,...

Re: Heisenberg
 

ditto! Bring it on.

Re: Heisenberg
 

I'm thinking that this truck could bring on a new trend for the 50s era trucks! Cool!!

Re: Heisenberg
 

That's gonna be one sweet ride!

Re: Heisenberg
 

I can't wait to see this build being done. Needless to say, we want lot's of pics.

I had to look at the pic of the truck for a long time before I realized what makes it look so different other than the obvious things like wheels, stance, grill, etc. . It is the one piece door glass.

Re: Heisenberg
 

Signed in for this...

Re: Heisenberg
 

I was already debating between the 50s trucks and the squarebodies for my future build, but now that Porterbuilt is making products for this era of trucks is going to make my decision even harder.

Re: Heisenberg
 

Awesome! In....

Re: Heisenberg
 

Yet again I'm signing up so I can spend more time on this thread. LOL

The rendering is cool. I'm in.

Re: Heisenberg
 

You got a rendering from Carter? you lucky sob! :lol:

Re: Heisenberg
 

Uh, what?... oh... Geez, for a minute there I thought I'd accidentally jumped to a different website. lol
Hey Del, do you ever sleep?

Re: Heisenberg
 

Subscribed. Sick!!!

Re: Heisenberg
 

Haha, yeah! He had a 56 model that he hadn't used yet, worked out perfectly.
This rendering haunts me in my sleep.

Gonna be sweet!

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.

That's one nice looking truck to start with.

Me as well ..thanks.. subscribing to this one!

Re: Heisenberg
 

oh man...I was hoping for the first 55-59 porterbuilt setup...he always did like you best. Can't wait to see this one.

Re: Heisenberg
 

Anybody can build a truck...

It takes a real man to chop up a finished one:metal::lol:

Can't wait to see it!:devil:

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
 

Hey Dave, It's finally going down!

Hahaha! Thanks for the kind words Sam, I apparently suffer from the same mental illness that you have.

Re: Heisenberg
 

Needs one piece side windows while you are at it, Original grill would be nice as well.

Re: Heisenberg
 

The green flag has dropped !!!

Re: Heisenberg
 

Sharp.
