Maude's chassis was one area where we did a lot of work. All new steering, suspension and disc brakes were done. We freshened up the 305 V8 and had the tranny shop rebuild a 700R.

Today the bottom of the cab will be solvent washed and sprayed with bedliner. The bodywork on the doors is well underway so the progress on Maude keeps the owner happy and us busy.

Wow ,Maude is looking great .

**67cheby** · 04-04-2016, 10:33 AM

Looks super clean , as expected ! Nicely done

but this morning a few old truck parts were delivered. A buddy in Little Rock and I struck a deal on them and he brought up a trailer load. This load was 50's stuff and there is 2 more loads coming. Then a couple of loads of 60's stuff... geez, I need a bigger place. So soon, when its all separated and organized I will figure out what to do with it all... Bomp, I need your help, please...

HOLY SMOKES !!! I have got to come see this !

Maude's chassis is clean.

You're giving Coulter a run for his money with that million dollar pic, the Patina truck reflection in the window behind Maude's frame.

Yup, new screen saver pic on this guys Computer.

dwcardfan · 04-04-2016, 01:50 PM

Nice load of parts!!

dwcardfan · 04-04-2016, 01:51 PM

That chassis is looking good!

mjh1965 · 04-04-2016, 02:03 PM

Clem it looks really good . You and Peter have clearly been working hard

Grizz1963 · 04-04-2016, 05:50 PM

Gonna take some pics this evening of Michael's truck as it nears completion. still need to put on pontoons and a propeller but its very close.

With that load of parts you can expand your empire and open a Man Cave gift shop at the end of the guide tour of the soon to become the World famous Tuba Trucks.

Great eye Greg!!! Awesome shot!

Grizz1963 · 04-05-2016, 04:28 PM

Ta2Don and I often share our trips around America and England with photos, or if we see interesting trucks and cars, via Whatsapp or iPhone messages.

Interestingly, I was also in a Tuba Trucks T-Shirt today, Thanks Clem.

Life certainly is good.

Bomp · 04-06-2016, 11:13 AM

One sweet truck, great job.
Rock House coooooool back drop.

Wish I could be peering down from my bedroom window, run down the stairs, grab the keys and off to the station. Dreams~ its what keeps ya going.

dwcardfan · 04-06-2016, 01:23 PM

Man that is going to be one lucky guy to be able to cruise that fine rig whenever he wants. Very nicely done my friend.

ibrown50 · 04-06-2016, 02:49 PM

Looks fantastic Clem, Michael made a wise choice. I'll post some pictures (if Michael doesn't first) once it arrives on this side of the "pond"

uk54 · 04-06-2016, 03:00 PM

Thanks Clem. That looks brilliant you and Pete nailed it. Now I just need to sort out a boat.

Another one heading for the UK . The way they are arriving in the UK They'll have to start stocking parts over here soon . Mind you this will be one of the best .

flashed · 04-06-2016, 06:31 PM

From where Im sitting it looks like the best .

Ta2Don · 04-06-2016, 07:23 PM

One lucky Bloke!!!

Grizz1963 · 04-07-2016, 01:03 AM

These update photos just make me smile widely Clem.

Now we just need Kim to make a small video on her iPhone and then to send the video over to me, and I will upload it for you onto YouTube. Unless Pete has a YouTube account already.

That will surely make the rest of us spectators smile madly.

I believe the new owner will be wayyyy over the moon.
