Very nice work! Keep the pictures coming

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 06-04-2015, 08:39 PM

Very nice bud

Frizzle Fry · 06-07-2015, 02:09 PM

Thanks guys. I know it's not much to look at right now, but we're pushing through! This stage of the build takes so much time and $$ with relatively little tangible (picture-worthy) progress ...until the big pay-off at the end

trixter99 · 06-07-2015, 09:50 PM

I'm just stoked that we will get to see one of your projects painted and hopefully finished. And if I may ask when will you get back to the 61 or the Tahoe?

screamin_c10 · 06-08-2015, 04:58 AM

Keep practicing... we may be building cars for a living soon...

Looks great!

Graeme_B · 06-08-2015, 08:21 AM

"Check fit of headlight bezels - No changes needed"
Whew, thank heavens for that, last time you were up that end of the car you started cutting the front end off!

That LS1 in the 61 has been begging to get swapped into something lately ...Wife's FJ40 or my 64 are prime candidates

That's not to say the 61 would be abandoned, but it may loan some parts

I did fire up the Tahoe's 476 the other day. Fired right up and sounds so good! This one will get attention before the 61 (which isn't saying much).

Been tacking some remodeling projects of late. Talk about a time/$$ suck

mcmlxix · 06-16-2015, 12:30 AM

you know. . . if it's toooooo perfect, you might think twice about actually driving it....

... but I'm looking forward to seeing some color on it ...

WOW..this is an amazing build !!

Frizzle Fry · 07-28-2015, 12:38 AM

Big News: This little screamer will soon be subject to the talent of So-Cal Northwest for the application of that beautiful Audi Nogaro Blue
Yes, the same guys who take care of most (all?) of the the paint for this P-Car shop. Plan is to execute the relo next week

On to the pics...
These are close to, but not quite the current state. Light at the end of the tunnel approacheth..!

...and a little peak at the (dusty) underside:

Zoomin · 07-28-2015, 12:45 AM

That's soo cool! All coming together now, that's one heckuva ride.

Graeme_B · 07-28-2015, 01:02 AM

Sort of like waiting for the birth of a child.
Full of anticipation. Pacing up and down .......
Well done Mike, can't wait to see it on the road.

Congrats

knomadd · 07-28-2015, 03:28 PM

That's great news!

Frizzle Fry · 07-29-2015, 01:50 AM

Thanks guys. This past year has been such a waiting game, though I've been investing my labor and learning what it takes to make something straight that was never intended to be. I definitely have a greater appreciation for what it takes to get a car ready for paint without just frosting filler/glazing over every square inch.

Final touches wrap up at Bruce's this week followed by the move to SoCalNW next week!

Zoomin · 08-23-2015, 10:11 PM

This car is so cool! Just gets better and better.

I just love shops that get after it and take care of business.

Frizzle Fry · 08-23-2015, 11:54 PM

Thanks Zoomin. I gotta agree after the slow-leak, although high quality, bodywork saga it's nice to see them getting at it!
