the right rear corner needed to be replaced. no way to fix the crummy job that was done before. so it was cut off, fitted, braced and spotted in. should be able to finish up the welding this week and hopefully get the rocker on. that will be huge and as far as i can tell, thats all the major work on the cab...

**clemdaddy** · 06-02-2013, 08:17 PM

one last thing to report this month... found a couple of parts trucks in my favorite salvage yard. one is a 66 lwb bbw custom with most of the original parts and a 65 gmc swb bbw x-hotrod truck. both have seen to much of the great outdoors and show rust in all the usual places... but hey, parts is parts. will post pics of the 2 trucks when i get them. also stumbled on a mid-70s 454 LS6 with low miles and a super t-10 to go with it, starting to think about a bigblock truck....hmmm
pics are the hood and grill from the salvage yard that i got for the utility truck and the new LS6

whoa!! nice start on the cab corner and some killer finds

Bomp · 06-03-2013, 12:32 PM

Nice work on the cab corner. Crazy sheet metal skillz

Low Elco · 06-03-2013, 12:59 PM

Nice score! Cab work looks great!

**clemdaddy** · 06-04-2013, 11:03 AM

thanks guys, i really appreciate it. as soon as the cab is buttoned up and doors hung the utility truck is going to take a nap. probably through the summer so i can work on painting the vette and also get started on a static lowered 64 truck that has my interest.

i will keep working on the graphics for the utility from time to time but most of the shops focus will be spent on other stuff.

below is a sketch showing the companies logo as it was originally designed except for flipping the colors to work on a black door. any comments are always appreciated... later-on dudes.

Bomp · 06-04-2013, 11:23 AM

Droppin' the '64 in the weeeeds. Cool
It will be sad to see the utility truck put on hold but if you promise to post some pics of the vette I won't gripe too much.
Will there be any pin striping on the door logo?

vette pics, you got it buddy. and definite on the pin striping, it is a harley shop and there has to be striping... tastefully gawdy of course...

McMurphy · 06-04-2013, 08:58 PM

Very nice on the graphics.
I think I like this one better than the other, more in keeping with the target era.
"tastefully gaudy" I like that

Modges'66 · 06-04-2013, 09:41 PM

You are killing me man!!!
What F-ing salvage yard do you go to anyway???
I would have loved to have found myself a donor for a BBW conversion, but no luck.
And as far as the LS-6, who has one of these laying around now-a-days?
My 1st car was a '70 LS-6 Chevelle...Do you have any idea what kind of damage, or trouble that a 16 year-old can get into with a combo like that?
I do have to say that "insane-fun" doesn't even start to describe it!!!
Make sure to post plenty of progress pics on the '64 vette...I think that the vette is the car that the LS-6 should go into, and just crate the numbers-match motor for future reference...It was soooooo much fun! LOL!

chad64chevy · 06-09-2013, 07:48 PM

clems, nice updates and great progress! we will all be waiting and watching for the updates

**clemdaddy** · 07-24-2013, 08:36 AM

been reading about pic posting problems... and though i've been real busy with projects i wanted to do a test to see if my mac would be effected by the changes.

going to post an older frame pic... if you don't see it, then the test was no-good and i'll have to figure out what to do. if you see the pic, then... woohoo, we're good for now.

never mind... didn't work, couldn't even post the photo. all my stuff is way big and i'm real slow on the learning curve here... but we'll see what happens.

for now, back to the shop----------- we're watching just not posting.

Jmorales3181 · 08-01-2013, 12:41 PM

markeb01 · 08-01-2013, 02:18 PM

Dinos63 · 08-01-2013, 02:20 PM

NICE WORK! at least you got it to work I am still struggling

**MisterC** · 08-01-2013, 07:09 PM

Bomp · 08-02-2013, 01:23 AM

Your flingin' your mad skillz all over them cabs.
You Rock Clem

One thing I must insist on is that you make more than one post a month.
Take an afternoon, grab the camera and go a little Nuttz,.,.....
Totally dig your station and magic you do on the trucks.

**clemdaddy** · 08-20-2013, 02:43 PM

we had a pre-hamb drags party and a bunch of buddies came up from austin with their hotrods.
the drags were faster than ever this year with some diggers and altereds in the 7's. a couple of my buddies turned some good times also but after 3 days of hanging out, i was beatup and glad to get back to normal...
new stuff about the utility project soon as i get used to the photo shrinking.
