it was a fun drive and a little bit scary. with all the rain, there was a bunch of missing road and washouts to avoid but fortunately no banjo music. so that was good.

How we get excited about wrecks, up to their axles in mud and roots.

Nice at,ops heroic type pics Clem.

it is fun to lift the hood on a old truck, check out the interior, the bed... see whats left and try to figure out what kind of life it had. most around here were hard working trucks and pretty beat up. but theres a few diamonds out there.

gonna dedicate this weekend to taking pics of the projects. will post up soon.
and thanks guys. i do appreciate it.

Just noticed spell checker turned atmospheric in to something including heroic

I think that has to be good, looking at the forensic story a truck tells.

May give you a ring later on.

heres an invite to this years gathering. featuring 2 of my favorite trucks from last year. this year the feast will be a cajun shrimp boil and please feel free to bring friends and family. Saturday, October 17th, Fayetteville, AR.
Mark your calendar and we hope to see you here... Clem

Looks like a big time!

[Grizz1963]

Looking forward to "helping" but more importantly, learning from your boss Clem.

Feeling privileged, even before landing there.

Really looking forward to this. Even though it must be the furthest I have traveled to a show 4500 miles in fact I am sure it'll be worth it though . Best of all will be getting to meet the guys who's build threads we've been following for the inspiration for our builds,and to top it all off what way to celebrate my 50th birthday

Good to speak to you last night Clem...... I will discuss what we discussed with Martin as well.

Even better, was speaking to Kim while you sorted the boys out...... She will be wearing a hat when we boil the shrimp, and I will be the guy in the "Straight Jacket"

Really good to chat to the two of you.

This is going to be stupidly Awesome !!!

I will call you later mate, to discuss New Orleans and the Blues. As well as the French Quarter.

[Jeff La]

Praying I can make it this year. I still need to call you Clem. I've been taking care of family and trying to keep up with the rest.

its been awhile but we got back on the 65 short bed patina truck. patched the rust and there was quite a bunch and i will patina match the paint. also used a bed from another truck so it will need some paint work to look right. installed a grill surround from a green truck which will also need some matching. the plan was to build a hotrod truck with a nice interior and engine compartment but have a patina baby blue exterior.

heres where it is as of today...

[Grizz1963]

Engine bay certainly looks smart.

thanks guys… this ones going to be for fun… hot little 327, 700R, 4:11 posi, and no massive amount of body and paint work. still looking for a few parts and i hope to have finished this fall. but, as my wife is fond of saying 'we'll see what happens'.

thanks again fellas...

[67cheby]

that is killer !

[clemdaddy]

thanks to all the members who showed up for our cruise-in/toy drive. it was big fun and we collected tons of toys for kids this Christmas (mostly toy trucks). the total turnout was roughly 100 people, 45 cars and trucks, 60 lbs of jumbo shrimp with a big table of fantastic food (ala potluck), 2 kickin' bands and a campfire sit-in that lasted till the wee hours. big big fun.

any that missed but wished they hadn't... there's always next year.

2 guys that for some reason didn't make the group photo were Don (da2don) and Robert (sigshooter).

[White knuckle Garage]

Clem wanted to say thank you for the wonderful time that my family and i had at ur cruise in. i meet some great forum members and it was great to see all the things you have going on at your shop. cant say thanks enuff

[Ta2Don]

What more can be said... Thank you Clem!!! Had a great time, albeit too short, planning for next year includes a hotel room so I can stay longer...

This is to those who were unable to make this one, make plans for next year, you will not be disappointed

[Bomp]

Words cannot express how great of time everyone had.
Thank you very much for the great hospitality.

The only question left is are you open to adopting a 48 yr old kid from Oregon and can I bring Steiner?

I couldn't have put it better myself Greg . As for the adoption part don't all the celebrities go for foreign kids so me being English puts me in front of you in a very long que

[dwcardfan]

Like everyone said Thanks Clem! What a blast it was. I will be there next year.

[NevEno]

Thanks Clem!! Your shop is awesome! And thank you so much for sending my daughter another shirt, she loved it!!

[Grizz1963]

I am not sure how many ways we can say thank you to you, Kim and your team of contributors Clem.

But you guys really turned out an awesome party.

I just hope that I can return the favour one day.
