everything else looks good , nice wood racks ..

Makes sense, but then it's not my truck

I do personally love the louvred/Venetian blinds in the rear window. My dad had some in a few cars in the 60/70's

One does not want to take away from the pure resto beauty of the truck, but I also think a "period correct" Tuba Trucks Restorations sticker on the rear window, or some other place could do the business good.

You can always use advertising.

I have had questions and comments on my Tuba Trucks T-Shirts before.

Beautiful truck....
Clem do you have a date for the next get together? I may be in the neighborhood, and would like to pop by again ;o)

[Palf70Step]

[60chevyjim]

Dude....
When am I gonna be at a point to get a job with you?
I got nothing keeping me here, and need to figure this out!
Sometimes I think that it would be fun to finish sand, & Walmart greet to finish out my career!

Try to work out a cruise this October, might just keep you here... and you don't really want to be a greeter, I see you more the guy driving the motorized basket grabber in the parking lot, shaking your arm around like a bull rider.

Petes doing good, but if we build another shop this year I'll need a guy to man it...?

Thanks Chad, really appreciate the compliment man.


We've had a lot happening at the station this weekend, progress on most of the projects. Just no pics yet... will try to catchup Sunday night... till then, thanks guys.

Show us the Ford cab too ,I like em all.

[dwcardfan]

Clem you turn out some awesome work brother. I thought you said you were retired. Lol

[flashed]

I think he retired from real work and now gets to do more FUN work.

[clemdaddy]

going to throw a little progress of the faux-tina truck on here because i don't want a page to be without pictures… whats new with this truck is the top was reworked and painted then unpainted. also the interior has some changes and the engine compartment got some attention. the cammed up little 327 sounds awesome and pretty soon… tina's going on a boat ride.

[clemdaddy]

there's just something about an old school set of rallys with rings and caps. this is like a hotrod truck from the 70's. should be able to finish the aging process and hit it with matte clear this week and then its carpet, exhaust, chrome trim and tailgate… getting close.

[Palf70Step]

Truck looks really good, especially that interior.

[Bomp]

The owner is going to be very happy. Another awesome build for the books.
Thanks for the chit chat the other night, I agree about my metal skills getting better but they're way short of "killing it" like the way you knock'em out.

[Ta2Don]

I was droolin' over tina at the get-together, even more so now!!!

[60chevyjim]

great job on the paint Clem !! really nice interior too.
everything looks great about the truck , the rally wheel look real good on it too .
