Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

I'm a Newbie to the Website and all I have to say is WOW, and you better give your wife a big hug. My wife bought me a 71 and now wants me to put it on a late model 4x4 chassis with my boys. Would love to do it but I don't think she understands the amount of time involved (have you kept a time log ?). You must have a saint for a wife. So congrats to you for the great job, and congrats to her for being so patient.

What can I say that has not already been uttered by everyone who sees this. WOW

Do you still have a couple extra air handlers that you need to get rid of? I love the idea of using production parts and saving money. That is what has kept me from installing one of the aftermarket systems.

Thanks,

I only have part of one I used for mock up, but they are plentiful in junkyards and never get sold cause they don't really break, (cheap).

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

My wife says thanks, and you are right - she is great. The only thing I can say in my defense is that at least I am home and on call at all times, unlike friends that hunt and are gone for days and are completely unavailable.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

I'm working on trying to find another body man, my first one got in trouble with his wife for working too much.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

How much trouble...he may need a place to stay & you do have a room over ya garage...jus throwing that out there..lol

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Very good point...

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Man, I wish I could solve it that way!!

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

I went yesterday to check on my rear axle and they tell me they will be done in a week, has anybody ever heard that before???? It is completely torn down now with my air bag mounts welded and the 4 link brackets mocked, but not finished. Then it goes to the powder coat man, then reassembled. I don't need it yet, but my A D D sure could use a diversion from the body work.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

What all are you having done to it? Shortened? How busy is the shop? That seems a little long unless there is a hold up on getting some parts!

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Thanks Drew, I will look into that. Until then, i will live through your project.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Judging from the dust build up I'd say I need to ride them a little harder.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

I'd be willing to say this hobby rivals time away from loved ones like those "hunter widows" we all know. The one good thing is that the "away" is just a few feet out back.

Maybe there should be a www.truckwidows.com for those that marry men like Drew.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

No pictures because it is hard to tell I've done anything, but I'm still blocking and sanding and finding little imperfections in every panel I touch. Yuk.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Drew go outside and take a picture of anything right now! I'm going out of town and I need to see your truck before I leave:lol:

I have another body man coming by today to see if he can/will help. I'm saying a little prayer.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Farewell old friend.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

way to go sometimes you just gotta break down and let the pros do there thing

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

No, I sold it. Good riddance.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Just kidding.:lol:

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Thats got to be B.S. To put that much time and money in to it and sell it before its done, yea right!

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Thought so.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

SOLD IT TO PAINT PRISON!!! lol

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

I stayed away from these forums for quite some time (the projects one), mostly because I spent way too much time looking at projects and I was just floored when I saw this about a month ago and how quickly the whole project came together! It took a long time to get through it all but it was worth it. Sucks you gotta send the cab out, hopefully it will be back real soon.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Yeah, bondo prison!!!

I kept the doors and fenders because I can finish them off soon.

I kept the bed to see if this guy actually does any good, if so I'll swap the cab for the bed and try to keep him motivated.
