Re: tuba trucks
Very nice work, Clem... as usual!
I think people underestimate the amount of $$$$ that it takes to do a project 'right'. I tell people to expect to pay the cost of a brand new full size truck with same amount of bells and whistles.

Re: tuba trucks
you're exactly right… but then I say that your old truck will appreciate and not depreciate, that it will be cheaper to register and insure, that parts and services in the future will be less, but best of all… older trucks kill it in the cool department. go figure.
all we can do is build them… can't afford to finance them too. hope she comes back and continues the build, I don't know what to do with it otherwise. and thanks Daddy-Oh.. really dig your work. |

Re: tuba trucks
Thanks Bomp and LowElco, the good news is she came by on Friday with an installment and reassured me that all was good... Maude's Back.
We spent a couple of weeks on the Austin Blue and got quite a bit done. Front sheet metal and bright work hung, Retro sound stereo and subs installed, all the factory air stuff finished and a bunch of the paint and body work on the bed and tailgate plus the wheel tubs... |

Re: tuba trucks
Friday was a banner day... after 5 years of sitting out back all deprived and neglected my 39 deluxe coupe is headed for headers. Custom Craft Headers is building a set of fender walls for the LS6. That is hopefully only the beginning of the work on this car cause I really want to drive my HotRod before... ahhh, well, you know, before.

Re: tuba trucks
I think I might have to fight you for that seat Bomp . The truck looks great just wish I was coming over this year , but I guess if I come next year the Hot Rod might be finished .

Are they standard or an aftermarket piece? I do like the way Clems came out. Checked a pic from when I got my truck....... [URL=http://s294.photobucket.com/user/niknakpix/media/P1020656_zps90506942.jpg.html] ![]() Looks like I will be parts hunting again.

Re: tuba trucks
Yep Rian they are standard. Never noticed it on yours until you mentioned it. They will help with you cooling alsi by keeping the air pushing thru not over /around radiator, especially if you get or make some of the rubber pieces to keep the air flow right.
Mine are not nearly as nice as Clem's

Thanks for all the positive comments fellas. We really appreciate it. Most of you guys know that there's 2 other guys that bring alot to the work done here. Pete and Dano are both big reasons the projects get done to a pretty high level. I admire you guys that are doing it yourselves. there's a lot to building one of these trucks and the variety of the builders out there, sure makes this community great. Whoops, too much flapping the keys and not enough pics... back later. |

Re: tuba trucks
We got to a point where pics were relevant on the Austin truck.
the bed got deep paint and a beautiful cut and buff by Dano. Next the tubs and inside bed panels got undercoat. Then it was on to the boards... used pine from Mar-K and decided to see if we would like a gloss black finish. Not having seen it before we primed and sanded then put 8 coats of gloss single stage enamel on them. Once again Dano cut and buffed till they looked like the top of a Steinway. We liked it. |

Re: tuba trucks
Steinway finish is an understatement!
My God that's beautiful.
