Top notch building all the way.
Screaming Trophy truck right there.

Edited a few hours later after original comment cause couldn't stop thinking how top notch these trucks are.
Bed with a mirror finish. Man that's cool.
I shudder every time I tackle a new project of my own.
Clem and his crew stomp these trucks out top quality repeatedly.
Quality of work at Tuba Trucks keeps me trying even harder to get it right the first time.
Hope that one day Steiner can sit in the shadows of one of Clems trucks.

~See you in October~

Re: tuba trucks
 

Beautiful!

Re: tuba trucks
 

And I said some rude words too.

That is magnificent.


Www.tubarucks.com just getting better and better.

Re: tuba trucks
 

OK. Your just out of control now! Keep up the good work. Does someone plan on driving that truck or are they going to put it in their living room and toss the Steinway? NOICE!

Re: tuba trucks
 

I love that blue! Is that a stock color or a special mix?

Re: tuba trucks
 

thanks man... shiney

looks even better with the tubs. will post pics...

Thank you, really appreciate it.

Dano said it buffed out like a piano top. that started the whole Steinway thing.:lol:

thanks... we're under the gun to get it finished by October. we'll see...

thanks pardner, we seem to do the slightly modified ones whereas you do trucks that are seriously modified, bagged, stretched and who knows what else. I think you're the one casting the shadow.
can't wait for Oct. you moving in, right?

thank you sir

thanks Rian, see ya soon.

The owner said he would have to get a bed to protect that bed.:lol: I think he liked the end result. and thanks...

Its one of my favorite color combos. Pretty close to stock, can't remember where we got the Dupont numbers but I got them if you need them.

Thanks guys... be back later with some updates and changes at the shop.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Clem that truck looks great love the color too .

Re: tuba trucks
 

Hot Stuff! Lookin' killer, Clem!

Re: tuba trucks
 

we're closing in on the completion of the 'Austin Blue'. Stuff like tailgate chain hoses, wipers, carpet, and exhaust plus some other little things but... she started up and sounds solid, shifts, stops and turns just fine. Heres some pics...

Re: tuba trucks
 

Here's a couple of more... Good to be ahead of the deadline of mid October but there's still lots of time in getting everything just right. The owner is flying in on a one-way ticket and expecting to drive her home... a little added pressure.

Re: tuba trucks
 

one of the fun things we did was to create a glove box SPID sheet that represents the options on this truck... sorry but we made up some of the numbers because they weren't available at the factory, oh well.

Re: tuba trucks
 

I think he will be pleased .

Re: tuba trucks
 

I like how well the shoulder belts match.

Re: tuba trucks
 

You'all at Tuba do some mighty fine work.

Re: tuba trucks
 

I like the t700r on the auto four speed, lol! dano is knocked the paint out

Re: tuba trucks
 

Beautiful build from every angle.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Wow Clem, Truck looks amazing

Re: tuba trucks
 

Thanks Jim, it's Nason BS255, about as close to original as we could get.

Thanks Buddy... October 15th, be here.

Pretty sure he will be, just hope it gets to Austin trouble free.

It is a good match... from Retrobelt.

Thanks Bro... soon!

Had a couple of others wanting a Spid done for their trucks, I believe it was 66 only. And Dano is a fantastic cut and buff guy, he makes my mediocre paint jobs look good.

Total team effort Johnny and thanks.

Thanks partner, looking forward to hanging out with you guys again... 6 1/2 weeks, I think.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Beautiful Truck Clem!

Re: tuba trucks
 

All that I can say is WOW!

Re: tuba trucks
 

Very, very nice truck build Clem :thumbs:

Re: tuba trucks
 

Nice.Very nice .Your crew and your customer should be very proud.

Re: tuba trucks
 

I keep looking and sharing these pics and every time I share, people ask how it's possible for an old truck to look better than new......

Amazing result team.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Thanks partner... by the way, how far is Fayetteville from you?

Thanks Mike, you said a mouth full. Hope the trans worries are over for ya.

Thank you my Captain...

Got a good crew going on now... but change is in the wind. The customer is very happy...

Thanks Rian... less than a month till you grace our shores.

Appreciate all the comments, it truly does matter. Thanks Guys!

Re: tuba trucks
 

Clem,

Beautiful work, both here and on your website!

How far backed up are you on projects normally?

B

Re: tuba trucks
 

Thanks B... as of right now, we're thinking an opening mid to late fall. Generally taking a year for a complete redo.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Thanks Clem,
I hope so too!
I have a thousand miles on her again since the last trans rebuild, but now I have some ignition gremlin that I am trying to pin-point!...Random ignition failure sucks!
It will simply shut off while going down the road, then you stop, and throw it into park, turn the key, it will start like nothing ever happened, and then you can drive it another couple hundred miles...or not.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Buddy, my life is carbs and points, always has been… and I'm very happy being there. Kuddos to you for stepping' out of the box. I really hope its all gets sorted out soon.

How about a 600 mile test drive this October? Got a place for you to stay...

Re: tuba trucks
 

Bring a toy… bring a dish.
Enjoy the music… grant a wish.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Dude!
You do not know it, but I have been trying to rack miles on this thing all summer in order to gain confidence for this fall without much luck....
I have 5983 miles on it at this moment (I just checked) and I am about to throw caution to the wind!...But that is a hell of a long way to tow it either way, if it doesn't make it...LOL!

Re: tuba trucks
 

Did I mention I got a trailer dude...:metal:

Re: tuba trucks
 

Clem,
I just got one hell of a laugh out of your response!!!!
I am so anxious, but cautious about this!
With every day that goes by, I am running fuel through this thing trying to figure out what is going on!...Trying to get it to quit altogether so that I can locate the component(s) in question!
If it would simply stop, I could troubleshoot!!!

Re: tuba trucks
 

Can't wait, fighting this cold, will get better, to see AWESOME trucks and talk trucks with AWESOME TRUCK GUYS.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Guess if I really have to come.......



He'll yeahhhhhh!!!



I am soooo counting down the days.

Re: tuba trucks

I wanted to say thanks to Clemdaddy.
I will never forget the awesome 10 days getting to hang with you.

It ain't a party until you end up on the fence.

Clem has an easy going teaching ability. Taught me tons of taping tips. Obvious stuff I never thought of. Like a sponge soaking up every word during class.

I got to see the Austin Truck live. All I can say is top notch build. You need to see these trucks live.
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/o...psh2alasfm.jpg
Cottons truck was there too.
Cotton's been to 9 shows and won 10 trophies. And its a daily driver.
That shows the stand up quality Tuba Trucks puts into these trucks.
