Now don't go stealing my plan for the 67-68 side trim

Keep up the good work Frizzle

retrokits needs to make a 67-68 kit for the 89-98 trucks and my Tahoe! That would be awesome and so much easier than what you're doing, but your work is incredible!

jlaird · 03-23-2008, 06:20 AM

dude, stick with your initial thought. The green/grey with white top would be so slick and unique.

Getting ready to move. I'm moving on 04/06/08. Then I'll be on business trips for a couple months.

Once I get settled in I'll have a 20x36 two level (upper storage) shop to stretch out in

Found tese while Surfing , Both are supposed to be Shortened but not nearly as Kool as Yours, Have u seen either of them??

SCOTI · 03-27-2008, 08:14 PM

Looks like the same burb w/a different set of graphics. Frizzles is dead-on w/the proportions vs. that one.

Frizzle Fry · 03-27-2008, 08:59 PM

They just added to the graphics. Ya, I've seen it. It's bobbed but not shortened in wheelbase. Still an improvement IMO (other than the paint

). The one-piece rear windows are unique too.

Thanks Scotti

I think someone else on the board might be brewing one up with slightly different proportions...

Nope. I'm from Sonoma (18 years), but I'm only moving here in town. After the kids are grown I'd consider moving back to nor-cal. ...but my yongest is only 4.

I'd be alright pumping my own gas. You can't imagine what it does to the lines to have to wait for the attendants...
