Re: tuba trucks
that seat looks really good in person! was wondering if or when you would show some pics of it on here! what two colors did you use to paint the headers on the blue truck, taking mine off today to paint later these week, they looked really good as well!

I was already to purchase set of Cadillac SRX buckets, but that looks so retro & clean. I currently have no seat, but I have the tracks....We need to figure this out!

Re: tuba trucks
this last weekend we got to take a break from the routine and go to my all-time favorite car show... the lonestar roundup in austin. and i remembered my camera.
the best part of the roundup besides thousands of traditional hotrods and killer rockabilly music and great chow, is the people. all walks of life and no bad attitudes. had a great time and met lots of forum members. really cool trucks... also a few pics of cool cars to follow... |

Re: tuba trucks
Wow! What a turnout, we're lucky to get 4-5 of our trucks at any shows around where I live.

Re: tuba trucks
Clem I think you stopped at my truck and talked to some friends, I was out wandering around. They said somebody from Arkansas came by, if that was you I'm sorry I missed meeting you.

Re: tuba trucks
that guy was super nice. he's standing next to his creation, see the side view above. the twin turbo setup, bagged to the max ride, dually rear, and tons of character, very cool. he had a fully bagged shasta trailer in tow and the bags on it were fed from the truck... too cool.

Re: tuba trucks
Is the insert material on that seat OEM type material or something from the aftermarket?
