Cruel and unusual punishment. What did we do to deserve this?

Frizzle Fry · 06-04-2015, 05:36 PM

Sorry guys! When I hit manage attachments from the phone it just posted the comments. Then I was unable to delete or attach...

Here you go!

Before primer/blocking:

Front door was not latched...

Check fit of headlight bezels - No changes needed

Rear doors off for blocking and rear quarters blocked:

knomadd · 06-04-2015, 06:27 PM

You could cut yourself on those body lines! Looks great!

mcbassin · 06-04-2015, 07:01 PM

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!

"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

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 ...

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.
