Re: porterbuilt?
I bet you get some response now. Your experience doesn't sound typical by any means.

Re: porterbuilt?
Calling 480-297-2621 ? remember that they are an hour ahead of Cali if you are trying to call outside of regular work hours for them. I see on the website that it takes text messages so maybe that's the best way to contact them. You don't have to hope that they aren't busy and can't answer the phone that way.
I did see on Hotrod hotline that CPP is selling their dropmember now. http://www.hotrodhotline.com/classic...ropmember-kits

Re: porterbuilt?
I can say my brother did front drop member and rear trailing arms from Nate and even if you have to wait a little longer than you think you should it is worth it. The quality that he puts in every single piece he sells is outstanding.

Re: porterbuilt?
I just installed their bolt in notch and stage 1 kit. Much higher quality than other stuff I've seen. If you are doing the bolt in notch, be sure you have a good drill! You will love the notch, though.

Re: porterbuilt?
.. Yes, and a GOOD Step Bit! (a.k.a. Unibit) I can't imagine installing a notch without one.

Re: porterbuilt?
This is to let you guy's know I paid over $15,000 for a chassis from Nate. They did a excellent job. Top notch. A few problems, that, will happen when you build something like this. I will tell you, we did take a cut off wheel to a powdercoated tranny mount, that our 700R would not fit. Did call Nate, he did call back, but, he is a long way's away and there was nothing to do but revamp the mount. Engine mounts would not work either, he did send new ones, although, they would not fit properly either, took a grinder to the old ones. All in all, the chassis is one of the best in the industry. They take their time, but good things take time. It will pay off in the long run. I do not forsee any more problems with this build as far as chassis goes. I would highly recommend Porterbuilt.
