Tuba has been able to spend a little time on the 52 1/2 ton Flatbed. Got the rebuilt motor in the chassis and the cab is ready for color. Not shown are the doors which were in the booth, curing the primer. Took the other brass door knob like is in my black 65 dually and shinned it up for this truck.

That is looking so incredibly good Clem.

Doorknob is the winner.

Low Elco · 01-27-2017, 01:51 PM

Good lookin' work, Clem!

Moarplease · 01-27-2017, 08:52 PM

thank you Chad… 1607 chevy blue engine paint in the duplicator rattle can, I think.

I appreciate you guys bouncing along with us… this week we are crunching on the sweet green 54, trying to get her parade ready. Also the 66 custom Ford is getting some attention.

Will post pics real soon...

Appreciate the offer- It was lined up to come to the party, and I got shanked at the last minute. Hopefully this year. You guys gotta come up to the Nationals sometime, we have a great time! Mmmmm, tacos.

Awesome work!!! We need a live web feed just to keep up with everything!

**Palf70Step** · 02-04-2017, 02:52 PM

Truck is beautiful! Always looking forward to seeing more of your guys work!

**clemdaddy** · 03-15-2017, 06:44 AM

This sweet 54 deluxe got a complete make-over in 2 and a half months time. Engine overhaul, clutch, bed boards, wheels and tires, grill, interior, stereo… the list goes on. All for a great guy who has owned it since high school many years ago. The deadline was based on driving her in a St. Patricks Day parade on Friday up in northern Missouri. Made it… but just barely, rolled out yesterday afternoon. Very happy customer…

**clemdaddy** · 03-15-2017, 06:46 AM

A few more pics…

mjh1965 · 03-15-2017, 07:18 AM

Well done Clem and the team you have knocked that one out of the park it won't be long before you have your own TV show on discovery at this rate

ChrisDollins · 03-15-2017, 07:19 AM

Wow, gorgeous truck!

Grizz1963 · 03-15-2017, 07:32 AM

Morning Clem !!

That is one spectacular finish to the truck.

I love the last photo you posted.

Kind of summarises the whole Tuba Trucks experience.

Well done.

realvc · 03-15-2017, 10:04 AM

WOW, what a truck!

It may not have looked that good new. Completed in two and half months sounds like a record of some kind too.

Will look great in any parade but being green it is very fitting for a St. Patrick's Day parade.

plainred65 · 03-15-2017, 11:16 AM

What a beauty, great work.

Low Elco · 03-15-2017, 02:03 PM

NIce work!

Ta2Don · 03-15-2017, 06:44 PM

Another Awesome Creation!!! Well done Sir!!!

Bomp · 03-15-2017, 10:12 PM

Sweet 5 window. I'm green with envy.

Thank you Greg… you know how it is… working all day, trying to make it happen. but, big time kudos to you pal. all that time in, and no for sure future.
Worry not, you'll be killin' it soon but maybe a little further south...

**clemdaddy** · 04-11-2017, 09:30 PM

Back a few pages ago a 65 standard cab, one time Texaco fleet truck, came to us for a redo. A cool older lady owned and was in love with her truck named 'Maude'. There were a few bumps in the road and progress got delayed some but slowly and steadily Maude came back. Now sporting a fresh repaint the cab is bolted to the frame, doors were hung and the inners were installed. Maude is starting to look like a truck again.

Modges'66 · 04-11-2017, 09:46 PM

Clem, the '54 is a total work of art!
The '65 is lookin' great also!
I am always keepin' an eye on ya!!!
Always lookin' forward to the day that I can start working for you, and doin' this stuff!!!

tune_1 · 04-12-2017, 12:11 AM

Clem the 54 looked great and in only 2 months during the winter!! The 65 may be slower but it is looking good also. Good work

Dwight

Bomp · 04-12-2017, 06:50 AM

Maude, ahhh,,, I remember the owner. Nice lady. Glad Maude will have a loving owner.
Cab and frame looking top notch.
