Very nice build. I wish I had the guts to take on a chassis like that... maybe next time. I didn't see it previously asked, but do you have a drawing/ dimensions for your frame jig?

Blitz · 02-08-2009, 02:36 AM

Dang! Seriously jealous of your current project AND that badazz Chevelle!! I want one of those so bad but the entry fee to play is following close behind a first gen Camaro.

What dimensions do you need? I have the dimensions for the frame jig but not all the additional parts (for the actually frame building). So if you want the frame jig measurment send me a pm and i will send you those.

Yeah i know exactly what you talking about the entry fee. It has not been a cheap road but well worth it. Thanks for the complements on the chevelle. I wish i still had it. I love those first gen Camaro's. I plan on building some down the road. There definately not cheap. Later

I've been scanning through your pics and I have to say, those are some of the best welds I've seen. Nice truck can't wait to see it finished.

MrBeast · 05-28-2009, 10:03 AM

yeah, id love to see some updates, I am doing the same thing building a new frame only with a 4x4 and a Cummins!

Big J'72 GMC · 06-04-2009, 04:42 PM

your fab work is impecable, if you ever come up north I got plenty of work for ya, can pay with beer.............lol n e who, great work man your an inspiration

abadsvt · 06-06-2009, 02:14 PM

Thanks alot guys! Yeah I really miss working on this project. I can't wait to get back to it. When i do eventually get back on this i decided on how i want it to look. I thought about finding the perfect patina truck and doing a rat rod style truck. That way I can drive the crap out of it and not worry about the paint. I am still thinking though of powdercoating the frame and making the frame and suspension all nice just leave looking like a sleeper with some nice wheels.

thats sounds real hot man, get workin I need closure lol

ccreddell · 10-04-2009, 02:45 AM

Got an ETA on when youre getting back on this?

On another note, I cant believe what a small world this is after all! I grew up in Napa Valley, spent all my rec time on Berryessa, and have been through Winters, Petaluma, Bodega and Clearlake more times than I can count. Used to spend a few weeks each year in Santa Maria, and we'd go out to Pismo too. And there was that girl in Arroyo Grande too........
Gonna have to keep my eyes open next time Im down for a HS reunion.

It really is a small world. I travel a fair amount for my work and i meet people all the time that either went to Cal Poly or grew up in the area. I just got done working in petaluma a few months ago. We erected a metal building for National gaurd in petaluma. Cool place. Yeah next time you come down hit me up! Regarding an eta on this project it will be a little while. Probably a year or so. I hate saying that but i now how life gets busy and i want to sell my other project before i start this again. I learned its hard to build your dream truck when you don't have the funds to do it.
