Spent the rest of the time figuring out how Frankie is going to look with TWENTIES !!!!

Those are my favorite GM wheel ever. I will be putting them on my 69 truck when I get it done.

Nice work on the frame!!!

I totally agree that these are the best looking factory wheels ever. I knew I had to have them, plus the price is half of what other wheels go for.

Look what came from the candy store today !!! (67-72chevytrucks.com)

Thanks 72 LONGHORN for the hump.

Thanks brn agn for the frame horns.

I have a schedule of what gets done by when, and thus I have a finish date. We all know how that goes, kinda like the budget, but I was wondering if anyone would like to guess when I think it will be done. Just for fun.

Here's hoping it is soon

Depends a LOT on if you're doing it all in house or waiting for others...and if you're sending things out are you getting them done while other things are accomplished (like getting the interior done and ready for install while body work/paint are being completed)
At the pace you're currently at...and all you already have done....and knowing you want to use this for your family (and the summer is the best time for that

) I'm guessing your target completion date is June 4th 2011. That's a couple weeks to finish the frame, a couple months for body work and paint, a month for drivetrain and wiring, and a few weeks for interior work and final details.

I'm going with Halloween, based on Frankie's name and the fact that it will be a monster once completed!

I can't decide between Mothers Day and Fathers Day

Good logical thinking, a little optimistic though.

A nice safe date, and appropriate, but I want it done sooner.
