Just my two cents, but I think you and Tubby should decide to keep the wife, haha.

Funny thing is, somehow I found your Minx build over on British V8s. I read that thread probably a year-and-a-half ago and then lost track. Then I was checking other stuff out on this site - I'm usually in the square body part. That sounds funny. Anyway, as I started reading this I thought over and over again, I got to go check this out, Frizzle Fry is just down the way a bit. And the further I kept going the more I kept underlining my note to self. I understand the accumulation of projects, it's happened to me too. I hope you figure out a way to keep this. Suburbans are great kid haulers, and I can say that from growing up. Keep the faith brother, whatever you're doing is cool. Even if you're building a Porsche, put a link on here. I'll come check it out.

**Palf70Step** · 08-30-2018, 11:51 AM

Glad to see you get back at it. Can't wait to see the final picture.

Madkidd007 · 12-04-2018, 12:29 AM

Well to bump this thread for a hopeful update, and to say thank you for the inspiration. It seems I picked up a suburban from fellow member Uncle today. If I can find a hatch I’ll be doing a lot of rust repair and shortening to 116” wheelbase, if not it’s crew cab time. The fiancé probably wouldn’t say thank you after seeing what I brought home, but I am quite thankful for putting this crazy thought in my head.

**3757chevy** · 12-06-2018, 01:07 AM

I was excited to see this come up again. Any updates?

Madkidd007 · 12-17-2018, 03:23 AM

Hey friZzle, would you happen to remember how far into the door you had to cut or perhaps be able to take a measurement? Basically trying to find out the width of the green line, but if I had a measurement of the yellow line it would tell me everything I need to know. Can’t quote you on it but I remember a post of yours saying take any ideas and use them, well I’m gonna take you up on that.

67_C-30 · 04-18-2019, 12:30 AM

Alright Friz - I’ve got my dually on road - it’s time to get back on this thang! �� This one has always had the potential to be one of the coolest trucks anywhere!

**3757chevy** · 04-18-2019, 12:54 AM

It is cool , just not on the road.

...yet

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-30-2019, 10:24 AM

Yep, I'm ready to watch some more.

It can be worked on again. Life & other projects can get in the way. It's only bad if it's sitting where the elements can do harm.

I have a 67/68 that's been sitting in various places of storage (garage, shop, storage building) for 20+ years now. Other than being dirty, it's fine & will be ready to continue its build when I'm ready.

Tubby is headed to a new home. Thanks to Frizzle for the opportunity to bring his dream to a reality. Tubby was loaded up tonight and headed to Houston to get finished up and is lined up for a SEMA booth. Will keep the original scope as much as possible and add our personal touches. Will post build pics. Excited to move forward with it!

ajgriffin · 12-04-2019, 01:08 AM

🤯🤯🤯 Let's get it! Glad she has a new home and looking forward to seeing the updates!

**3757chevy** · 12-04-2019, 01:27 AM

I'm excited to see more.

It is going to Alamo Customs @alamocustoms to continue the bodywork and finishes. My good friend Chris Pate @mobiletoysinc will be coordinating the build and doing the interior and other parts. He is one of the top system installers in the US.

This is his C10 Lucy he currently has finished and his square body Stella they are starting.

Low Elco · 12-05-2019, 09:57 AM

They do great work, can't wait to see more!

Getting Tubby ready to ship over the last couple of weeks I, realized how easily I could have fallen back into the routine of working on it. Such a cool truck. It was both hard and exciting to see Tubby heading down the road to his next chapter. I have to thank all the dedicated followers who never lost faith (the few remaining

you know who you are)! Can't wait to see what MHLY01 has in store for it.

Here are a few pics from Tubby's last days in Oregon:

SCOTI · 12-06-2019, 11:26 AM

Sad you didn't get to 'finish' it but glad to see it's getting a fresh start.

Bigdav160 · 12-06-2019, 02:45 PM

It'll be pretty close to me. Perhaps I can take a look
