Folks Of Interest Working with Indian Larry

As we unpack stuff after moving into the new place, (after a move the boxes seem endless), you find things you forgot you had, packed.
I took lots of pics of the paint work I did for Larry & Paul Cox & some candid photos from around the old shop off of Delancey street in NYC.
We all worked together there, long before the T.V. shows picked up on the chopper scene. Larry & Paul Cox were great guys to be around!
even if things were just freaking weird at the time I look back and am Glad I had a chance to share in the madness that was purely addicting.

My Wife Carrol scanned and put this all together
I know it O/T from the car stuff but you other yahoos post boat junk so here! LOL.
hope you enjoy!

TOO COOL.....I got ta meet Larry at Sturgis back around 99-2000 when I was workin for Simms,He was a great guy to talk to and had a different outlook on buildin but it was workin for him..........and damn Fritz how many projects ya doing at a time,Im impressed

 

Very cool Fritz and your wife did an excellent job putting that together...you are talented folks.

 

Amazing work FRITZ

I saw the Outlaw clone at the Roundup.....speechless.....I stood there for quite sometime just staring at it.

Larry was an amazing builder. It's good to see Paul is carrying the torch.

 

very very cool!! I never got the chance to meet him but i was a fan way before discovery picked it up, I'm glad they did, because it gave so many more people the chance to see what he could do. Anyone who can fabricate like that, is NEVER off topic on here.

 

Very nice tribute and some beautiful paint work. I hope to run into you sometime now that your in our neck-o-the woods.

 

Here's his Ed Roth tribute bike for the Rod & Custom shoot,

It doesnt get more up close & personal than that...Great clip!

 

Thanks for sharing!

 

Met Larry in Sturgis one morning the last year he was there. About 8 am local time and there in a grocery store parking lot was some man in purple pajama pants, bedroom shoes and a t shirt sitting on the pavement beside his bike adjusting the clutch. I walked over to see if the guy needed help and discovered it was Larry. Offered any help and he said he had it covered. Talked a few minutes and have to say he was the nicest guy I met that year, or maybe ever. We lost him later the next month and I will always enjoy the memory of that morning with him for 10 minutes. Thanks for sharing your time thru photos. You are lucky to have spent so much time together.

 

Very nice tribute, amazing paint jobs and designs along with kick *** bikes! He will always be remembered. Thanks for sharing

 

Cool, man.

 

Nice... all good people!

 

Fritz! I've admired your stuff since I first saw your work in the Horse. I just ***umed that you were isolated at some secret underground bunker painting UFO's.

 

Great post, thanks for sharing.

 

were those from the psycho cycle days? i talked to paul over the phone about sending a seat pan in for him to cover long before the tv and magazine craze.

 

Fritz, what is Wide Open mag, where can I get it?

 

excellent post man!

 

ya Know i get that a lot, LOL ......I was never trying to be famous.
I just always loved doing the work and meeting the people.

 

The world was a much better place with Larry on it. May he reast in peace and always be remembered.

Fritz your paint work is amazing... Good luck in the new town and keep us posted on your work.
