While I am a huge 'Burb and Panel guy, that looks "odd" to me.

Keep in mind I have been told I am also "odd". :mm:

It would sure make an interesting travel rig. Travel trailer with space to haul additional toys - quads, sand rails etc

Truck is cool, but not as cool as the old warbirds in the background of the second pic.

you have to admire the guy's fabrication skills even if you don't like the outcome, which i do
when newbies start talking best frame to swap i usually add ''i have no doubt i could fit a mack truck frame under my truck''
now i can point them to this thread :D

'Chopperman' has some very serious skills. Dude can build anything! Don't much care for look of this one, but his other stuff has been featured on the cover of 'Hotrod'(early 2014). And this COE is in the current Hotrod mag as stated. I would just like to stroll thru his shop one time. Probably be like a hill-billy tourist looking up at the skyscrapers in NYC.

Not feeling it.

I know this one is not a Chevy, but to anyone that has not seen this incredible build check it out...

New twist on COE

Both the fabrication and the photography skills are top shelf.

I think this is where you stop and appreciate the ingenuity and workmanship like the finished rig or not. It's said to be a beast of a tow rig though.

I can appreciate it. Obviously tons of work was put into building it. It's Just some of the little things seemed to have been overlooked, like the front fender to tire gap just jumps out as me as unfinished. I'm probably just being nit picky. Maybe that was intentional.
