Re: tuba trucks
Dude....
When am I gonna be at a point to get a job with you? I got nothing keeping me here, and need to figure this out! Sometimes I think that it would be fun to finish sand, & Walmart greet to finish out my career!

Re: tuba trucks
going to throw a little progress of the faux-tina truck on here because i don't want a page to be without pictures… whats new with this truck is the top was reworked and painted then unpainted. also the interior has some changes and the engine compartment got some attention. the cammed up little 327 sounds awesome and pretty soon… tina's going on a boat ride.

Re: tuba trucks
there's just something about an old school set of rallys with rings and caps. this is like a hotrod truck from the 70's. should be able to finish the aging process and hit it with matte clear this week and then its carpet, exhaust, chrome trim and tailgate… getting close.

Re: tuba trucks
The owner is going to be very happy. Another awesome build for the books.
Thanks for the chit chat the other night, I agree about my metal skills getting better but they're way short of "killing it" like the way you knock'em out. |

Re: tuba trucks
Interior is hitting it out the park.
Get Pete to do a video of engine and upload to my or anyones Toutube to enjoy. Still going to have many days n nights of regret for not buying this truck first. I guess the only consolation is that I have one already that needs finishing. Looking great Clem and team. The boat ride will end up in massive smiles.

Re: tuba trucks
Looking at the pics of the master cylinder, Did you wind those brake lines and how did you do it? Looks great.

Re: tuba trucks
I roughed in what I wanted in soft tubing and sent it to Finelines. They made them in stainless and I got 4 sets. I think they charged $35 per set. No way could we bend them that nice in stainless. I've used all 4 sets on other trucks and need to order more. After the coil they drop straight down 3 feet, we then made the simple bends to the proportioning valve.
Want a set for steiner? |
