Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Clem's Get-together was an amazing experience this year… Not only did I get to attend, I was able to drive up Friday evening with Rian and Martin, meet up with Clem, Chad, Bomp & McMurphy around the fire pit, as well as two of Clem's truck gurus...
![]() Here's Fritz enjoying the sun ![]() His progeny Gus… ![]() Onto the event… Pulling in I parked the '72 next to the Tuba Truck's mascot… ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is Clint aka "Arkyhauler's" brother's '66 ![]() Kieth's sweet GMC with the '72 beater and Martin & Rian"s Chevy in the background ![]() ![]() Pictures do NOT do justice to the Tilly build… ![]() Another Tuba Trucks creation in the works… ![]() ![]() ![]() Another Tuba Truck that will be for sale in the future… Diggin' the BBW and the stance… ![]() This SWEET '63 belong's to Clem's good friend Cotton, and the bed is off the hook!!! ![]() Cotton did the woodwork... ![]() Signage detail… ![]() Some more random shots… ![]() ![]() ![]() Our Gracious Host!!! ![]() Although these were taken Sunday after the get-down, I had to share… these lucky stiffs were able to visit Mike's Boosted Bertha build and help out... ![]() ![]() ![]() Start making plans now, the next get-together in the 3rd Saturday in October every year! In my book, this is a must do on the bucket list of any gearhead!
