Whatever your doing, I think it's working! BTW I like the fenders fat.

First = regular. Second = narrowed... maybe 4+ inches (??)

CAL 58 GMC · 06-20-2006, 08:55 AM

WOW! I really like the way those fenders look! I have never seen anything like that.

Frizzle Fry · 06-20-2006, 05:56 PM

Woogeroo, Certifiably...

Porterbuilt, Sleep is optional. I have to maintain some level of sleep deprivation to prolong the insanity

XXL, Thanks for posting the pics. Your PS skills put mine to shame! That's exactly what I've been invisioning. I think the fattys will look good when both sides are done. It does look more proportional narrowed in that pic, but they should look right when viewing both sides. I think they will be set apart at enough distance to make it work. Gotta get the other side done now!

Cal 58 GMC, Thanks, I've never seen it doen either

I better get this thing rollin' before I do!!!

PBFAB.COM · 07-13-2006, 11:40 PM

Is your welder still broken????? I am eager to more progress pics! Keep up the good work.

Frizzle Fry · 07-14-2006, 12:53 AM

No it's fixed but my schedule is broken... Traveling and working too much

It'll probably be about a month before I can touch it. I'm in the wrong line of work

Frizzle Fry · 08-31-2006, 12:18 AM

Just wanted to drop by and let you guys know that this project is going to be on hold for a while. Not giving up on it. It kills me to have to do this. It'll be back in action hopefully sooner than later. By then someone else will have finished one just like it...

JRB · 08-31-2006, 03:46 PM

Mike,
Is there an Estimated Time of Finish? I cant wait till the shop is done so I can get back to work on the Trucks. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
JRB

Frizzle Fry · 08-31-2006, 05:18 PM

Gonna have room in your shop?

I'll be moving soon. I'll be staying in Hillsboro though. Hoping to pick back up on it before xmas.

Where in Hillsboro? I have room for short term visits but no long stays. If you have time come over and check it out, the pics dont do it justice. this thing is huge.

Woogeroo · 12-03-2006, 07:25 AM

Heya Frizzle,

have you moved yet? what is the latest?

-W

laidout · 12-03-2006, 10:06 AM

lookin great

Frizzle Fry · 12-05-2006, 06:20 PM

Just got moved... still "moving in," a never ending process... I have the burb in the garage for a little 476 transplant (454 + 0.100"). Yep, the 396 got a bunch of top end goodies (needed them) and broke a piston skirt. The good news is that all those bolt-ons will go right onto the 476. It's never just a swap though is it

There's the "while I'm in here I should..." Once that's done I'll pull the '61 in there in start throwing sparks again. Should be in 01/07

71chevylowrider · 01-08-2007, 08:01 PM

I'm a 67-72 guy too 7 I love yur truck! We need some updated pictures man, I'm going through withdrwawls, looking at your bada$$ truck kinda makes me want to go down the street & buy the black primer 66 panel truck thats for sale & bring it over & let you work some magic on it, heck you might be our new Chip Foose from oregon!

watahyahknow · 01-16-2007, 11:54 AM

this realy is an awesome build i keep my eye on this one .
keep up the good work

Frizzle Fry · 01-21-2007, 11:57 PM

Well, the 476 is done -> Link to 476 thread
But the '61 is delayed until April... Believe me, I'm more disappointed about it than anyone. This project will rise from the dead though. I have way too much work in it and a ton of ideas to go.

Mordachai · 02-15-2007, 07:44 PM

Sorry to hear about your temp set back. But remember Rome wasn't built in a day.
I know my own project keeps getting set back too( time/money constraints, going back to college, etc)

But Great things come to those who wait, and heck you might even come up with some great ideas that you wouldn't have seen or thought of otherwise!

Still can't wait to see it done!
