Stunning !!!

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

Front end looks great. The white accent really adds a lot to the look of the front end!!

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

I have to say you did it again. Really like the way you work your magic on your builds.

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

Finally checkin in! Looks sweet! :chevy:

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

At this point I have nothing to add to what has been said.

That just looks lovely Clem.

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

thanks guys... really appreciate it.

tilly is in the cut and buff phase right now. and its kickin my behind. very slow going on this big black beast... and then... an ah-ha moment. try craigslist. ran an ad for experienced color sander and buffer person( i say that because a person named Mary actually applied). hopefully the same person can do both things, cut and buff. got half a dozen calls when i got a call from a team of 2 younger guys with lots of experience, energy and willingness to suffer the heat. in 4 hours these guys got more done that i did in 2 days and my back never felt better. Thanks Craig!

below is a rendering of the type and logos on the truck as well as a deep copper boat-flake roof... getting fun now

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

Very Cool!!!!

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

Would love to see a close up of that boat flake roof

Re: tilly to the rescue

You and Scottybob rock! But you may already know this!
Thanks a bunch for all that you did for me!

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

heres a little update on the tilly truck.
after the massive job of cutting and buffing, then dialing in all the mechanics, plus installing a few more pieces like mirrors and stereo and cab lights...

tilly went over to a buddy, eric snodgrass, for some hand brushed lettering and pin striping... looks killer.

then out to scottybob for carpet and upholstery... also killer.

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

this truck is almost finished and i think that our customer is very pleased.
still to do are a few more things like install hood ornament and maybe some fender emblems. also a new set of wheel-vintiques steelies and new tires plus the alinement. just in time for our towns biggest event " bikes blues and bbq" when over 300,000 motorcycles visit for a week... it gets crazy here.

this truck will be on display outside my customers showroom with a vintage and very rare motorcycle in back. i will get some more pics then.... thanks for checking in guys, later...

oh yeah, the last pic is that little puppy gus. he's 9 months old and over 100 lbs. already

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

:jdp: Tilly is looking sweet and ready for the Bike gathering...:metal:
Gus is one handsome young dog!!!;)

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

Spent most of the morning bouncing from the first page to the last.
Sure made a difference from when Tilly rolled threw the gate to present.
Thanks for sharing this great build.

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

Clem that looks awesome will it be at your gathering ? It would be nice to see it close up . Its only four weeks till we head over .

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

The seat looks killer as always!...I am guessing! LOL!

Re: tilly to the rescue

Re: tilly to the rescue
