Re: tuba trucks

i know, the guys got an amazing eye. he missed his calling. should be a pro photographer.

hope you guys plan on attending. maybe a sneak peak of bertha, if possible. now that would be a show stopper for sure, cloud9 pulling the new trailer with boosted bertha aboard...WOW!

maybe, but not critical, just dreaming...

time for mexican dude?

Re: tuba trucks

thanks to all the members who showed up for our cruise-in/toy drive. it was big fun and we collected tons of toys for kids this Christmas (mostly toy trucks). the total turnout was roughly 100 people, 45 cars and trucks, 60 lbs of jumbo shrimp with a big table of fantastic food (ala potluck), 2 kickin' bands and a campfire sit-in that lasted till the wee hours. big big fun.

any that missed but wished they hadn't... there's always next year.

2 guys that for some reason didn't make the group photo were Don (da2don) and Robert (sigshooter).

Re: tuba trucks

Words cannot express how great of time everyone had.
Thank you very much for the great hospitality.

The only question left is are you open to adopting a 48 yr old kid from Oregon and can I bring Steiner?

Re: tuba trucks

I am not sure how many ways we can say thank you to you, Kim and your team of contributors Clem.

But you guys really turned out an awesome party.

I just hope that I can return the favour one day.

Greg, I could work with you easy and we would have a great time repopulating the world with cool old trucks. lets keep the conversation going and by the way... Pete said the cost of living here is a third of what is is in Oregon. just saying

Re: tuba trucks

yesterday i washed up Cotton's 63 and took pics for an update. The truck is about 90% done mechanically, only a few wiring tasks and carpet inside to do. there's still a bunch of paint work left and all the hours of cut and buff. but all in all, we're ahead of schedule. You might remember that Cotton wanted a truck that was basic without the options and frills. About all he wanted to add was a deluxe steering wheel and bumper guards. here's the pics...

Re: tuba trucks

Cotton requested a bit more power and an overdrive trans. so we opted for a 68 model 350 4-bolt dressed out to resemble an original 283 though the valve covers give it up. we also put in a fresh 700R and for safety sake, power disc brakes were added as well as power steering. more pics...

Re: tuba trucks

you guys probably remember the seat that my friend scott did, it looks right at home in Cotton's interior. we restored the tach cluster and painted the dash to go with that seat. there is a ton of work that goes into a nice early 60s interior but its well worth the effort. more...

Cottons truck is as perfect as they come. Spot on perfection. Saw this truck in person and the pics don't do it justice.

Beautiful work Clem. I also got to see it in person and talk with Cotton about it. The pics don't do it justice. Very nice. I know Cotton is excited about getting it finished.

Re: tuba trucks

A nice surprise in the post this morning was a package from Rian (Grizz) containing a sticker he picked up on his recent road trip and a cool tee shirt which was a present for me from Clem.

Another example of how cool the people are that share our interest in all things automotive when someone like Clem takes the time and trouble to send something to someone they've never met.

Thanks Clem (and of course, thanks Grizz for taking care of the shipping!)
