Those brake lines are not the pre wound stainless lines. I actually wrapped those myself. I think I used a paint can for one and my travel mug for the other.

Great to see you finally on here Pete . You and Clem have done a great job

Last weekend was the annual trek to Austin. The absolute best car (and truck) show we get to go to. Great pre 63 event with the best music, food and rides as well as a killer swap meet. 4 days of big fun...

Took lots of pics but it will take a few days to get them loaded up. The coolest truck thing happening is all the big trucks. Pete and I are gathering parts to build a 58 big window COE Viking and this show had a bunch of COEs. Pics...

**clemdaddy** · 04-14-2016, 09:07 AM

A couple more...
There were also a few blg rig conventionals but thats another post...

duallyjams · 04-14-2016, 09:36 AM

COE are definitely the hot lick. 58 wouldn't that be LCF ? wasn't 54, 55 the last year for COE ?

Ta2Don · 04-14-2016, 10:55 AM

COEz.

Check out the link above for some alternative thinking from this side of he pond Clem.

I love COE trucks, just a bit big for my property.

Thanks for posting, looking forward to the rest of your report and pics.

**clemdaddy** · 04-14-2016, 12:18 PM

Hey James, you are probably right about the 58 not being called a COE. Maybe a Snubnose or Shorty or just Viking, don't really know but I sure dig it...

Pics...

Spending way too much time on here, just done with class for the day. Passed tests this week, one more day tomorrow.

That truck is just butt ugleeeee..... Clem and that would be why I love it.

Back window is gorgeous.

I know, for some reason I love the big trucks too. Theres nothing practical about them, loud, uncomfortable and just weird looking... hmmm, sort of like me.

Today was a red sky morning, so to represent...heres Grizz's favorite color.

**clemdaddy** · 04-15-2016, 09:05 AM

The Lonestar Roundup always has cars and trucks with great paint work and these 2 golden ones stood out to me. Sorry about the Ford but rumor has it that Gene Winfield, the king of blends and fades, painted it.

Thanks for sharing the pic's.Very neat to see all in one place.

**clemdaddy** · 04-16-2016, 09:37 AM

Here's a batch of cool trucks from the Roundup. The entry rule is everything has to be 1963 or older to qualify but as with the HAMB they allow a similar body style to register... and we all know that 63 and 66 are sort of similar.

Grizz1963 · 04-16-2016, 03:53 PM

Would have loved to be at the Roundup.

Of course they are the same.....

Ta2Don · 04-16-2016, 06:46 PM

Thanx for sharing the Awesome Pics...

Have a great weekend Clem!!!

dwcardfan · 04-16-2016, 07:51 PM

Looking good Clem. I just drove past your shop and thought about the big time last year at the gathering. I hope I can make it again this year.

Bomp · 04-16-2016, 09:27 PM

Great pics, feelin' all kinds of envy right about now.

So,,,, you going to have that '58 Viking at the shop soon? Gotta name for it? Looks like a Todd to me. My 2cents.

ChrisDollins · 04-17-2016, 09:54 AM

Love the big trucks, really cool! That red truck has the same hood treatment as member bumwine's truck. Looks good.
