Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

I think you are doing a great job Kevin! I wish it was me but your the right man for the job. It was really nice to meet you and your son and dad, you have a great family. I am sorry for the wife talking your ears off, good thing it was 2am or you guys would still be here and she would still be talking... lol

I hope it turns out just the way you have always wanted it too and don't forget you have to make that card board cut out of me when you go for your first ride! lol


Thanks Ray

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

Nice ride and the brushed finish is gonna look b!tchen..

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

Damn, when those wheels came out I sent PTS a message asking for a price quote on them, and soon realised that I could not afford them right now. You dropped some coin on those! They look awesome on there though, and the build is looking sweet. Just keep doing a little at a time and before you know it you will be crusing in a truck that before only existed in your head.

Those wheels are sweet!!!!

Made a bit of progress yesterday evening..

Had to do a bit of trimming and re-painting on the frame rails to fit this notch because they were slightly different.... but basically was an extremely simple process.


I put my son to work a little bit... Thought I'd snap a picture of him doing some work. He's turning into a pretty good wrench.

Heading out right now to finish up the rear frame section and install the rear body drop pieces. Will post progress later on tonight.

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

Nice progress!!!! Looking good!

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

hey Kevin

Don't forget you still need to drill the holes for the trailing arms cross member. I did the two on the bottom but not the two on top. I was going to take the cab off to do it right but never got to it. I am still in shock that you took not one but both of the fames apart.... Your crazy dude! lol can't wait till she is done.

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

Looking good Kevin!!!

Now that the car show is done with I should have some time to swing by.

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

dig the wheels , nice work duude

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

Thanks Ray. For sure yes.

I actually am going to try and pull the cab off this week (no idea where the heck I'm going to put it...) so that I can cut off the factory cab mounts and replace with the bolt-on body drop stuff. I'll get that cross member properly sorted out at the same time.

I'm been doing my fair share of porterbuilt installation, dis-assembly, reassembly, etc.

Having fun though :metal:

Thanks Ray... hope you're doing well.

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

Thanks Dino... Congrats on your Custom.. gonna be SO nice..

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

I figured you guys would have canceled the show given the downpour.

Sounds good though Corie... stop by anytime Bring that IDIDIT column if you get a chance.. I'd like to check it out.

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

OK.. got the rear pretty much buttoned up. It took way longer than I had planned because I had a constant flow of neighbors dropping by to chit-chat... They all think I am insane..:metal:


so.. I didn't powdercoat the rear tubular cross-member because I need to sort out the mount for the fuel cell and may need to do some welding.

The truck came with a plastic fuel cell and Ray (previous owner) fabbed up a pretty cool mounting system... but.. I may end up going to an aluminum jobbie... maybe a boyds tank.. and as such.. I should wait before I mount the rear cross-member.

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

oh and if we are going to disagree on little things like semi gloss and shiney.....i am going to have to say that I HAVE THE WORLDS SLOWEST DROPMEMBER BUILD...so there !! LOL

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

I love how competitive everyone is...
I think you started all this by naming Superfly as the Worlds Fastest DM Build..

I knew I couldn't compete with him so I thought I'd vie for the only remaining competition I could possibly be a part of :lol::lol::lol:


Your truck is looking wicked BTW.
Also, I may be in the market for some of your inner fenders... Not sure how they will work with my body-drop and wheel combo..
Once I get this truck on wheels/tires we can figure out if your "small" version will work or not. In theory if they work on GVizzle's truck they should work on mine..

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

LOL....great i hope to have some out SOOOONNN!! the waiting is driving me CRAZY !!

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
 

by the way i think my tire sizes are the same as yours and old aux's, i havent recieved the bolt on body drop yet but i am about 99% sure i have another 3/4 inch room layed out !! i am counting on it myself !!
