You get what you pay for... Thanks for pointing that out I have not cut the fre section out but my friend was concerned with clearence in that are.

Hey Nate thanks for sending the replacement bracket, would hate to rub off any of the powder coat... If it's more convinient for you put in the box with my dropmember :-). Thanks great service as allways worth EVERY penny.

yes sir if u look at he last pic u can see the pb sway bar and the boxes holding my DM and chromoly PB arms

im have to weld up the front of the frame. the p/o started a Z on it and im going to finish it. the plan is to run 24" wheels all around.

as for the track bar we have intalled a panhard bar (pics soon). i tried using a delux trac bar from early classics but it didnt work right. ended up making one from chromoly tubing and a cupple heim joints.

Nate has always been "Johnny on the Spot" whether it was an issue with a part or just my own befuddlement on how to hook it up.

I'll take my shoes off just so I can give him 4 thumbs up!

But it happens to be the same size wheel I'm gonna run too

m6z · 05-26-2010, 01:55 PM

Looks great. What did you set the pinion anlge at? Did you set it at your desired ride height?

Thanks,
Doug

layingC10nK5 · 07-13-2010, 04:17 AM

hey guys i finished all the work on my frame. pb front and rear also did the 2inch Z. tomorow im headed to powder coat and need ur opinion. the frame will be black and suspension parts purple. colors are set in stone however my friend and my brother think it will be too much purple to do ALL The PB parts purple. any input or pics of ur set-up would be great. thanks in advance. pics coming soon

**kev2809** · 07-13-2010, 06:51 AM

I'd say do the frame, crossmembers, and front dropmember in black. Control arms, trailing arms, and smaller parts (shocks, loose brackets, panhard/sway bars, etc) in purple. I did a similar combo with hammered black and hammered silver and was happy with the contrast without it being "too much"

tubbedII · 07-16-2010, 04:14 PM

I agree with ^, or maybe even a little less. Any moving parts in purple and stationary parts in black.

layingC10nK5 · 08-31-2010, 09:55 PM

heres the update...

layingC10nK5 · 08-31-2010, 09:58 PM

and more...

**N2TRUX** · 08-31-2010, 11:16 PM

Everything looks great, but I am confused. Why did you Z the frame AND do a Dropmember?

layingC10nK5 · 08-31-2010, 11:36 PM

the previous owner Zed the frame, i just finished it and made it stronger. im runing 24inch wheels so the Z will allow it to lay. the dropmember alone allows u to lay 29 1/2 inch tire combo, 24's are around 31 1/2

DRTYRAT30 · 09-01-2010, 12:07 AM

Nice keep up the progress pic's

nastyc10 · 09-01-2010, 02:00 AM

Nice progress! Have you picked a wheel yet?
