Re: tuba trucks

Top notch building all the way.
Screaming Trophy truck right there.

Edited a few hours later after original comment cause couldn't stop thinking how top notch these trucks are.
Bed with a mirror finish. Man that's cool.
I shudder every time I tackle a new project of my own.
Clem and his crew stomp these trucks out top quality repeatedly.
Quality of work at Tuba Trucks keeps me trying even harder to get it right the first time.
Hope that one day Steiner can sit in the shadows of one of Clems trucks.


~See you in October~

Re: tuba trucks

OK. Your just out of control now! Keep up the good work. Does someone plan on driving that truck or are they going to put it in their living room and toss the Steinway? NOICE!

I love that blue! Is that a stock color or a special mix?

thanks pardner, we seem to do the slightly modified ones whereas you do trucks that are seriously modified, bagged, stretched and who knows what else. I think you're the one casting the shadow.
can't wait for Oct. you moving in, right?

The owner said he would have to get a bed to protect that bed. I think he liked the end result. and thanks...

Its one of my favorite color combos. Pretty close to stock, can't remember where we got the Dupont numbers but I got them if you need them.

Thanks guys... be back later with some updates and changes at the shop.

Re: tuba trucks

we're closing in on the completion of the 'Austin Blue'. Stuff like tailgate chain hoses, wipers, carpet, and exhaust plus some other little things but... she started up and sounds solid, shifts, stops and turns just fine. Heres some pics...

Re: tuba trucks

Here's a couple of more... Good to be ahead of the deadline of mid October but there's still lots of time in getting everything just right. The owner is flying in on a one-way ticket and expecting to drive her home... a little added pressure.

Re: tuba trucks

one of the fun things we did was to create a glove box SPID sheet that represents the options on this truck... sorry but we made up some of the numbers because they weren't available at the factory, oh well.

Had a couple of others wanting a Spid done for their trucks, I believe it was 66 only. And Dano is a fantastic cut and buff guy, he makes my mediocre paint jobs look good.
