Fabian, a man of few words but many talents.

 

Very well done Fabian Congrats!!!

 

Very kool car indeed, tried a few times to get clear pictures but there were so many people around it made it hard to do. Congrats and like alot of others have said- finished or not that car is over the top

 

Wow... congrats Fabian! I have pics somewhere of it years ago sitting at your house, your son was on his tricycle then. Crazy... Car looks so nice.

I'd love to get you some of those pics if I find them.... they were amazing.

So weird as I just mentioned you like an hr. ago...

That pick up, I love... and was so excited to see you still own it. But then saw you sold... at least it is with someone cool whom lets you do more great work to it. Love it!

Hope all is well with you and your fam! Mel

 

Must be a temp plastic one...

 

Fabian's car has all the "RIGHT" proportions...and the color is as sweet as a root-beer float!


Sweet!

WOW! Absolutley A georgous ride!!!! Congrats on the award. This is the same car in the david perry book from awhile back is it not? That truck is pretty damn slick too!!!!

 

congrats to Fabian on the award, well deserved, i could not stop drooling over the taillights and rear bumper, straight out of the little pages.

 

Beautiful! Congrats

 

I know its a thread about the car, but must say that the reversed windsplit trick on the truck to run the exhaust is really neat.

 

Man, both of those are a far cry from that little garage off Newhope...inspiring, absolutely inspiring

 

Here's a shot from LSRU

Fabian re-painted it before LSRU this year....always seeking perfection. Slightly different color.

His Chev was the first bare metal car to turn up at a show, Paso 12 years ago. For the strictly custom guys following this who may not know, Fabian also runs and holds records on the salt with his roadster.

 

Im thinking thats my favorite 50 yet! Always thought certain browns would look good on that bodystyle.

 

NICE! Now I know what my tail lights will look like installed! Got a set sitting here and they look perfect on his car.

 

Chris Casny has a nice shot of it in latest issue of Kustoms Illustrated #31......Oh I Photoshopped the gutter out...if your wondering
