Re: tuba trucks

thanks guys… really appreciate the well wishes.
Retirement... it can't be that bad if I work hard at it and hire the right guys, then the truck shop thing should do alright. at least i can be doing what i really enjoy doing. and with the partner in Pete Hoffman things seem to be falling into place.

2 weeks ago a very nice country lady pulled in with a project. her truck named Maude, needed a complete face lift and mechanical overhaul. I do the face lift part and Pete does the mechanicals.

Maude is a farm truck that was in very sad shape…once a work truck in Oklahoma is has rust to the Nth degree, a myriad of bozo mechanicals before us and some general poor taste from previous owners. Basically a complete redo on a tight budget. Well the lady was cool and she loves Maude, soooooo,
its OK, we're weak for folks that love their truck… pics of Maude.



After we removed the clip (sorry no pics) the real neglect became evident.
