yeah, there's something very relaxing about 'done'.

ok, enough of that... time to start again. next, i'm thinking about a C-20 camper special with a utility bed. got all the stuff out back, so here we go.

thanks guys for the compliments... i enjoyed the build and sharing it with you guys gave me the energy to finish the job. i appreciate it.

Jeff La · 09-27-2012, 10:49 PM

Really nice job, congrats on being done. Now you can relax on the next one. LOL

**joedoh** · 09-30-2012, 03:12 PM

super gorgeous. love love love red.

Modges'66 · 09-30-2012, 04:24 PM

thanks, i really appreciate that. i am proud of the truck. it was a 10 month ordeal involving all of my weekends and evenings. i've got a couple of buddies that helped out a bunch and of course my wife was a big part of the effort. But it was all worth it... the only disappointment is i wish my razorbacks were doing better, oh well.

in a couple of days i will postup some pics of the next project.

**pdxhall** · 10-01-2012, 07:13 AM

Your truck is fantastic. I can't believe you got it done in 10 months. It takes me that long just to think about what to do next. Seeing a finished project gives me motivation to keep on working on mine. Congrats, I can't wait to see your next project.

1enick72 · 10-01-2012, 08:28 PM

Truck is beautiful, great work.

Smooth68 · 10-07-2012, 05:18 PM

Very nice truck - excellent work!

thanks... i appreciate it. this red it grows on me. i was always a fan of the factory orangish red but this darker red brings out the lines a little more i think and it makes the chrome pop more maybe.

yeah, seems like a lot longer that 10 months... and definately get busy on yours.

heres a sneak preview on the next project, meet "tilly".
3/4 ton, 327, turbo 400, fac air... build thread should startup soon but for now a big thanks to all for the company during razorback red... now is the time for this one to fade away................

McMurphy · 10-10-2012, 09:22 PM

So, how many of these trucks partials or complete do you have sitting around?
Looks like you are doing what the wife wants me to do when I retire, stock up on as many of these as I can, then restore/rebuild them for sale....

I have to agree with her idea, there are worse things to do with your time after you retire from the military !!

sigshooter · 10-10-2012, 11:59 PM

Razorback turned out great...... if you are bored I will send my truck over and you can build it! ...... just a thought

Hogsophist · 10-11-2012, 02:13 PM

Clem, it looks superb. I would like to swing by sometime and look around. I love your place. Its nice to put a person with it.
