tilly to the rescue

[clemdaddy]

throwin this out because it would be cool if we could get something started in this area for truck guys and their families. like a social thing, you know hanging out and visiting. talking trucks and talking lives...
if you think so too, just show up.

the seat came out great, also glad to see the cover off the vette!

Got the get together wrote down but can't make it this year.

No promises but pointing at the map with wifey and shes already pointing out things.
Says I need to travel more. Looks promising.

Had a GREAT time!!!

[clemdaddy]

hey fellas,
not much happened on tilly this month. got started on bodyworking the hood and installed some pretty trick taillights from a firetruck... i will post a report on that later but for now most of october was spent on sam & kims c-20.

the entire body including engine bay was compounded to remove the oxidized paint. then the filler holes from the saddle tanks were patched.

and the old bed boards were triple coated with polyurethane then a couple of coats of black wash.

[clemdaddy]

got the 292 back from the machine shop and put it together.

the repair on the fenders is past the metalwork stage and into bodywork, can't wait to try my hand on matching that old green patina paint.

also, well underway on the auto trans conversion but pics on that later.

back in a few days...

[Dinos63]

that's a clean truck!!dig the work you do

[Ta2Don]

So glad I got to see this truck in person...
And the pic of the fender with the patch on the leading edge solves the riddle of the following pic I snapped at the Get-Together...


and the Bed Boards are Nice!!!

Have a Great Week Clem!!!

[flips72]

thank you don, i think those old boards turned out pretty good too and the multi-coatings glued them back together.

thanks flips, and it is tough keeping it all straight. solution i use is to write it on tape and stick it to the part, simple but it works...

i am looking forward to firing this one up... don't do many sixes around here.

the pic is a 30 foot trailer we polished and painted along with a bunch of repair but now its a super cool mobile store for a clothing outfitters company. and a great bunch of guys.
check out the polished six hole wheels and the 59 caddy taillights... it was a fun project...

[clemdaddy]

went out scrounging around yesterday at a buddies place and i think i'm gonna end up with these. a 58 cameo, a 58 short fleet and a 59 short fleet. all are big window and pretty complete. they're just waiting for me to fix'em up. and i could always use a new project. just... please don't tell the wife.

[Ta2Don]

New Projects...

Trailer looks killer...

[NEWFISHER]

That Cameo bed is coooooool!

[duallyjams]

Really like to see the details of matching the paint.

[Jmorales3181]

Nice finds!!!

[Dinos63]

that's some killer scrounging hotdog

[flips72]

yeah, what dino said. awesome finds, I would love to do a big window 55-57 truck.

[pdxhall]

Awesome find, man. The Cameo is killer!

[Bomp]

Clem,, you must live at the base of a rainbow cause you have all that rusty gold layin all over the place.

[Ta2Don]

Looks great Clem… Keep up the Killer work!

[coulter]
