It can be worked on again. Life & other projects can get in the way. It's only bad if it's sitting where the elements can do harm.

I have a 67/68 that's been sitting in various places of storage (garage, shop, storage building) for 20+ years now. Other than being dirty, it's fine & will be ready to continue its build when I'm ready.

Tubby is headed to a new home. Thanks to Frizzle for the opportunity to bring his dream to a reality. Tubby was loaded up tonight and headed to Houston to get finished up and is lined up for a SEMA booth. Will keep the original scope as much as possible and add our personal touches. Will post build pics. Excited to move forward with it!

ajgriffin · 12-04-2019, 01:08 AM

🤯🤯🤯 Let's get it! Glad she has a new home and looking forward to seeing the updates!

Getting Tubby ready to ship over the last couple of weeks I, realized how easily I could have fallen back into the routine of working on it. Such a cool truck. It was both hard and exciting to see Tubby heading down the road to his next chapter. I have to thank all the dedicated followers who never lost faith (the few remaining

you know who you are)! Can't wait to see what MHLY01 has in store for it.

Here are a few pics from Tubby's last days in Oregon:

Sad you didn't get to 'finish' it but glad to see it's getting a fresh start.

Loved watching this one, and I'm glad it's going to get finished.

71'tahoe · 12-17-2019, 02:08 PM

I've been following this build for a while. I hope she gets completed. Its such a cool SUV.

**3757chevy** · 12-04-2019, 01:27 AM

I'm excited to see more.

Low Elco · 12-04-2019, 12:06 PM

WOO HOO! Headed for Ekstensive?

**Palf70Step** · 12-04-2019, 12:34 PM

MHLY01 · 12-04-2019, 01:19 PM

It is going to Alamo Customs @alamocustoms to continue the bodywork and finishes. My good friend Chris Pate @mobiletoysinc will be coordinating the build and doing the interior and other parts. He is one of the top system installers in the US.

This is his C10 Lucy he currently has finished and his square body Stella they are starting.

Low Elco · 12-05-2019, 09:57 AM

They do great work, can't wait to see more!

Bigdav160 · 12-06-2019, 02:45 PM

It'll be pretty close to me. Perhaps I can take a look

**kev2809** · 12-25-2019, 01:43 PM

oh nice...bringin it down to texas! cant wait to see how it turns out

MHLY01 · 01-07-2020, 12:54 AM

Had some renderings done for the build. Tried to stay true to the build with some personal touches. I am sure there will be some changes as the build goes.

ajgriffin · 01-07-2020, 02:24 AM

No love for the 69/70 front clip? 😢 Renders look good! Looking forward to seeing how you progress! 👍🏾

MHLY01 · 01-07-2020, 02:41 AM

Thanks. It is the same front clip that was swapped on it. I don’t have the original 69/70 clip from him.

Operatorfailure · 01-07-2020, 09:39 AM

The 67 front clip is superior anyway. ��

**kev2809** · 01-07-2020, 07:44 PM

yes it is!

those renderings look great...

The Mafia Truck disagrees. I think they pretty much got it right on all the 67-72's though...I like em all for different reasons

MHLY01, how are you feeling about the renderings? See any details you're thinking about changing now or do you think this is pretty close to what it's gonna be?

MHLY01 · 01-09-2020, 01:27 AM

I like all the front ends. Each unique. I have a ‘71 as well which I will do a billet grill in and clean up.

I think the renderings are good. I sent pics or ideas of what I wanted done and we went through a few Iterations. Things such as shave drip rails, one piece windows, smooth and tucked painted bumpers I added. Rendered Rides was great to work with and super reasonable. I am sure a few things will change as we go such as wheels, maybe trim, door handles, etc. Happens with all builds. I am open to suggestions always. I went back and forth in colors and really liked the color he chose.

I should have some renderings of the interior later on. It will be a full custom interior with Relicate Leather by Mobile Toys Inc. Dash, doors, etc. will all be one off. Nothing wild as I prefer clean and classy to match the exterior build.

Looks really good to me! I think we all just want to see someone rolling this thing...no matter what condition it ends up in!

One suggestion I was thinking when looking at the rendering was going one-piece windows on the rear doors. Probably wouldn't be able to roll them down all the way because of all the hardware in the door with the hinges, but could be cool 🤷🏾*♂️

It's good to see the Burbs getting some full builds! This one is gonna be 🔥
