Re: "All Out Original 72"
Finally took a few more photo's. The truck has now made it to three shows. Went to Wilson County Fair car show in Tn. yesterday, it won it's class, and was the first pick-up to ever win "Best of Show" at that event! There were 125 entries. That is the third "Best of Show" win so far in three shows! I am truly amazed that a long bed p/u is winning over some of the nicest cars/trucks you've ever seen!!! Really odd....

Re: "All Out Original 72"
not odd at all to me considering all the time and detail you put into it. I always am surprised at vehicles I see winning shows that aren't the nicest one there....just a nice "safe" pick. I doubt there are many other 100 pt resto's at these shows as there aren't many around period. Congrats on the well deserved honors!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
I just found this thread. My jaw is a bit numb from hitting the floor over and over.
 Did you ever find a nice heat riser? If not, PM me. The metal on those heat risers is thin at best. It is a wonder that any survived.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
On another sad, sad note.... a fellow truck guy, and a dear life long friend of mine, past away last Thursday of a heart attack. He had finished a 46 Chevy p/u last fall, that was his father's farm truck, and had been in an old shed most of his life. The truck has been shown a few times with winning results! He had already made all the arrangements to carry it to the "Rod Run" at Piegon Forge this fall. He will be greatly missed by many in this community!!!!! RIP my friend!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
Sorry about your friend. My condolences to you and his family and friends. He obviously knew how to build a truck, that thing is sweet!

The 46 is a work of art! Pictures never do a vehicle justice....good or bad. This thing is really something to see, and it's a driver as well! |

Re: "All Out Original 72"
I have entered the 72 in 5 shows so far, one this weekend with 250+ entries. Believe it or not, it has won 5, "Best of Show" awards!!! It has also picked up a "Best Paint" award, a "Best Engine" award, and 2 "Choice" awards!, plus the 1st in class awards!
I still can't believe it's doing so well? It's a "Green", longbed truck.... LOL! This all just doesn't make sense! I know all of you know the quality of the other entries at any show, it just blows me away that it's winning any of these things? Thanks to all of you for the wonderful comments!!!! They are DEEPLY APPRECIATED for sure! God Bless! |

Re: "All Out Original 72"
There's no way it couldn't win. With the amount of detail you have put in to this thing it is just an absolute jaw dropping master piece. I commend you on an excellent build. Here's to another five best in show awards!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
Thanks guys! The truck now has a new home. I ended up showing the truck 6 times in all, and it won 6 for 6, "Best Of Show" awards!!! Plus the other awards mentioned before. Really amazing, and odd?
I am building a 'Medium Green' and 'White' one now. I have the frame sandblasted etc. So I have several months to go... I finished the last one in less than 9 months, and I hope this one goes quicker. It will be the same caliber of truck as the last. Once again, Thanks to everyone, for the nice comments, I hope in some way the build helped someone with their own project! |
