Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build

Like everyone else, I love your work. Its fun to watch. I really like your attitude about learning.

Ive read about Laz's classes a few times. I would like to take one someday. I wish he was closer. So did everyone in your class build the same things? I see you have a good start on a 34 roadster. Ive seen the Willy's coupe they built and I heard they built a Cobra in a class too.

I wish I was a little more flush right now. I would love to have the burb or the truck. Have you posted either of these for sale yet?

Most guys were working toward the same parts I made but were a few panels short. They wanted to talk more but I was their to learn as much as I could. Low Buck is up as well as my 63 GMC SWB but the Burb will not be for sale until the 4th door is 100%.

Yeah I was until my ADD kicked in again I just had to be honest with my self and I will be getting more into older hot rods and with a little one running around my time is not as plentiful as it once was. If I keep and finish up everything I have now it will be 3-4 yrs before I can really get going in the other direction and that just does not work with my business plan. So I need to stick my original plan and that was to build the 4th door so I would have all the templates I need for doing another one and sell this one off. I am toying with the 5K range but will not know for sure until that time comes.

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build

I hear you on the little ones vs. available time. I have 1 year old twin boys and I'm not in the shop nearly as much as I'd like to be now.

It would still be really cool rolling up to pick up a customer's project pulling a trailer with a bagged, 4 door burb. Plus, you'll have a lot more room than you would in an older burb/panel/pickup. You need wheelbase and weight to pull your trailer, and the burb has both of those going for it.

I hear you but I have another vehicle (07 Trailblazer SS 395HP) that I can tow with that is just sitting around collecting Insurance, DMV fee's and Dust but not getting used very much. SO the Burb is going to go once I finish up a few small things. It was a fun build and turned out great.

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build

As long as you keep getting new projects and posting these inspirational build threads I personally don't care what you actually drive. I just love seeing your work. Between you, Frizzle Fry and a close friend who said "Its only metal, shape it how YOU want it" I've gained the confidence (or lack of sanity) to customize my Blazer. Now if I can just convince my better half it’s a good use of funds.
