Dennis Frings had his 44 Chevy truck project out today and this thing is a work of art. I wish I could have gotten more detail shots but there was always a crowd around. Talked to Dennis for a bit, nice guy, extremely knowledgable and he did it all himself. This guy is the real deal when it comes to fabrication. Here are a few more of some other cars that caught my eye.
don't know if you could call fring old school......but he's definently a teacher of sorts.......i talked to him a couple years ago at charlotte....probably for close to a hour.......ton of knowledge......and the stories he told .....crazy stuff.....did a lot of ch***is work for some big time nascar guys....did you get to look at his photo albums....?? some neat stuff in there.......brandon
Yo Seadog, If You Go To Cannon Village In Kannapolis On The Frist Weekend Of The Month. There Is A Big Cruise. I Have See The Car The Last 3 Months. He Is There Most Of The Time. It Should Be Going On This Week End Coming Up.
Dennis is a machinist, fabricator, innovator and above all, a real gentleman . Quite awhile back he sent me some pics in the mail. Wish I had a scanner to show ya'. In addition to the pics shown, he built a Hilborn fuel injected Ford flathead powered track roadster. All the correct stuff for racing. It's theme is a replica of the super-modified that was driven by Parnelli Jones in 1959-1960 with Vel's Ford sponsorship. Another pic has this car loaded on top of a restored 1956 Ford COE flatbed hauler truck . Talk about nice stuff . Dennis has it nailed perfectly.
