"Elwood" the 77_remix - Page 27 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**rustytruck50** · 11-27-2018, 01:58 PM

Yup...saw that yesterday....
I'm ready to see what is next to receive his magic

83GMCK2500 · 11-27-2018, 02:12 PM

I don't think the sale of Elwood is bad news...we followed and enjoyed the build, we enjoyed the accolades and praise the truck received. Now someone else gets to appreciate it in person, we all just hope they take care of it.

I'm excited to see Jake or another possible project progress.

aggie91 · 11-27-2018, 03:30 PM

The first time I met Ken was at one of the first (might have been the first) shows he took Elwood to attend. Back then it was just the '77. I had a hard time believing he sold it, but if the price was right, then I understand.

Now he has a bit of cash to put into Jake!

**rustytruck50** · 11-27-2018, 05:15 PM

Exactly....I'd love to see Jake come together! That project is a bucket-lister for me

Yea, I just meant I thought it was part of his family. Don't know if I could have done that after EVERY upgrade made to that truck.

what backspacing did you run on your wheels before the sale? and thanks for another cool journey!

aggie91 · 12-18-2018, 10:30 AM

Just saw the new issue of Street Trucks, The American Racing ad is two pages, Elwood looks real good!

Wonder if AR is going to make it as a poster?

**rustytruck50** · 12-18-2018, 01:05 PM

I think it would make a great poster!!!!

I would have to look it up. I prefer not to offer back space specs due to the variations in pad thickness, etc. I always recommend consulting the company you are buying wheels from instead.

I agree it would make an awesome poster. If I hear of that happening I'll let you know.

@N2TRUX, fantastic work done to Elwood! Thanks for letting us read about it, even a year or so later!

I'm just north of you, in old Magnolia.

I'm glad to have had the opportunity neighbor.

**cwcarpenter98** · 03-21-2021, 12:11 AM

Check out what made an appearance in Cleveland, GA today!

I never thought that I would have the opportunity to see Elwood in person. An absolutely gorgeous truck. Pictures can not capture the true detail that went into this truck.

**Rickysnickers** · 03-21-2021, 10:41 AM

Funny this came up. I was thinking about this guy the other day and hadn't seen him post in a long time. Where has he been?

SCOTI · 03-21-2021, 11:33 AM

I saw Ken @ LST in Conroe TX. last month.
Shakin hands & kissin babies still....

Ken is still around, 2020 caused some challenges to all of us and he was no exception. Here is a link to his latest build. He is still working on it, but not all the updates are in the thread. I follow him on Instagram where he is a bit more active.

**Rickysnickers** · 03-25-2021, 04:37 PM

Yeah, 2020 was a horrible year for most. I was following that build, but it just sort of died off. Well, as long as he's well

LT7A · 03-27-2021, 05:02 AM

I miss reading about his updates. I have tons of notes on products that he has recommended.

Hopefully the new owner is enjoying elwood
