The Fremont Troll lives under Aurora Ave just north of Lake Union. Cool build photo you found!

Nice work - would have been a little nicer if they filled that line along the bed.

Here's some video of the silly thing. I'd have more respect if the operator were inside!

Same car, same music, different paint?

.. and extended the chrome body trim, and used some front fenders put on backwards on the rear to make it balanced out a little more .. yeah, I can see it  |
VW fenders of any sort are a real challenge with a flat side panel. Because of the way they taper in, you end up with a banana shape. Thats why I end up using Morris Traveller rear fenders for the woodie and the current hearse project. I do really like the truck though - just could use a couple things to make it spectacular.

Want! Perhaps not as frilly as that one, but the concept is a win. |
