Cotton's 63

Bomp · 01-27-2016, 08:58 PM

Lay it down to take it off. When it comes to you, you take it off with Style.

Its always a good day seeing a post from the station.

NevEno · 01-27-2016, 09:29 PM

60chevyjim · 01-28-2016, 02:36 AM

Low Elco · 01-28-2016, 02:14 PM

Nice paint- that's some of the best fakery I've seen. Looks good!

dwcardfan · 01-28-2016, 03:29 PM

thanks buddy, not my style either but Cotton loves it. he came by friday to take a test drive and didn't bring her back till sunday. while away the truck got a big dose of cottonization. he installed venitian blinds, bed side boards with mobile gas logos, and a arm rest console thing... i fear this is just the beginning... pics

60chevyjim · 02-01-2016, 08:56 PM

delete the white hubcaps and put some chrome lugnuts on cottons truck.
everything else looks good , nice wood racks ..

Makes sense, but then it's not my truck

I do personally love the louvred/Venetian blinds in the rear window. My dad had some in a few cars in the 60/70's

One does not want to take away from the pure resto beauty of the truck, but I also think a "period correct" Tuba Trucks Restorations sticker on the rear window, or some other place could do the business good.

You can always use advertising.

I have had questions and comments on my Tuba Trucks T-Shirts before.

McMurphy · 02-02-2016, 04:38 PM

Beautiful truck....
Clem do you have a date for the next get together? I may be in the neighborhood, and would like to pop by again ;o)

**Palf70Step** · 02-02-2016, 08:31 PM

I have been checkin too Mike. He said it was 3rd Saturday in October, the 15th this year. I am hoping to make it this year too.

60chevyjim · 02-05-2016, 08:14 PM

clem do you have any more pictures of the blue patina truck yet ?

**clemdaddy** · 02-06-2016, 09:50 AM

hey jim, we opted to redo the white top also as it was checked and to far gone to resemble the faux-tina of the blue. pics soon...

**67cheby** · 02-06-2016, 11:14 AM

Haha, I don't blame him, I wouldn't have wanted to get out of it. That thing turned out awesome!

**clemdaddy** · 02-22-2016, 06:05 PM

thanks guys... i love retirement, except for that no check on Friday part, I've never been happier.

We've been working on a buddy's resto BBW fully loaded 66 and though the chassis is complete, we are doing the slow battle of body work. While it seems slow to most it is very labor intensive to us. Many hours of metal work and priming and sanding is involved as I know you know...

this months update is just that... many hours of body work.

**clemdaddy** · 02-22-2016, 06:14 PM

another big part of surviving in the restoration business is doing parts for those guys who want to build it but don't want to do the dirty work. We have done fenders, doors , beds and cabs for quite a while now and the best part is knowing that there is a great truck on the other side of our efforts with a good foundation.

here is a cab that got all the metal work done, all the body work done and a hefty coat of bedliner underneath and on top of the floors.

60chevyjim · 02-22-2016, 07:05 PM

nice work Clem !!

flashed · 02-22-2016, 07:13 PM

Nice to know that cab wont rust again ,nice work .
