tuba trucks

Awesome. Heck it takes me weeks to change tires it seems. Years to put a project together. Hoping to put my new (to me) 63 back on the road in a couple months.

like Rian said you guys are so lucky getting parts and doing them in the uk is hard work but well worth it in the end

i know its tough to build americana in the uk but you guys have a network of cyber-brothers over here and we're willing to help.
and you are right... whatever it takes, its still worth it.

thanks mark. reading what you said just made my day. i really appreciate it.

i'm usually pretty slow at this stuff but i was driven to throw one together this time and truthfully... i dig it.
a whole lot less work but still a pretty good result.
good luck with your project and keep after it...



did a t-shirt this year of the logo, the one thats on the doors of the shop truck. it turned out pretty good and i stuck a couple in the inside of every hobby truck or car that showed up.
last years t-shirt is kinda sentimental as it was the 'year of red'...
here it is...

Alpine Green the new it color, from here on out all new engine install are required to be alpine green until further notice.

Last years t-shirt will almost be enough to get Rian on a plane with me next year

Seems you were right Martin.......

The T-Shirt has me headed for Clem's party in October.

Neat sign writing Clem.

thanks rian, we'll add a little sinclair flair to next years shirt for ya and maybe a unionjack in there somewhere too.



got the step bumper for the shop truck painted. we found it in a salvage yard and it's stamped with a dealership name from alma arkansas. just seemed to fit the truck.

i hope all you guys and gals have a very Merry Christmas and the new year is filled with happiness and success and good health.
stay safe and get out to your truck projects as much as you can.

That is one of the coolest potential things ever Clem.

I like those little touches.

Regarding the shop truck bumper, it looks a lot like the chrome bumper I took off my truck, that I still love madly, but was never able to identify the origins of.

The pic does not show the ends clearly, mine was neatly rounded, it was also cut on the tips to fit closer to the body.

Any idea what era or truck it was from?

It seems smaller and lighter than most "agricultural" sized bumper.

Hope to hear from my contract agency soon about my travel vouchers so Martin and I can get the plane tickets booked to your shindig......!!

Did I mention we are actually quite (VERY) excited about it all?
