chad64chevy · 06-14-2016, 05:59 PM

good to see that you got the 50's truck safe! I can't wait to get some time off to come see you again, maybe in a few weeks! lunch will be on me, buddy

Bomp · 06-20-2016, 12:20 PM

Hey, Happy belated Fathers Day. You did fill out the adoption papers on me, right?
See ya in October.

stacerbob · 06-20-2016, 12:25 PM

Clem, would you be interested in more parts? Buddy of mine has whats left from HEAVY CHEVY in ROGERS.

Grizz1963 · 06-21-2016, 05:53 PM

Saw this and wondered if it was modelled on you.

Glad you got it all sorted for the customer.

Thanks Rian, personally I'd like to forget about that crossmember. Better now...

Thanks Johnny, there's a lot of shoddy work being done out there but this is one of the worst I've seen.

Nice save on the 50's truck.

Those oreganeners are everywhere... and a damn good thing for me.

I need that... funny it's not even a tuba, it's a euphonium or that guy is 9 foot tall. if you carry a tuba around for a couple of years, you don't forget how big they are.

Don, will your truck be finished this fall? no push, just hoping you and Chad will be showing them at the party. Come for the weekend... big fun. we've got a different salvage yard this year.

Ta2Don · 06-30-2016, 06:56 PM

So Cool!!!

Bomp · 06-30-2016, 07:12 PM

Looking really sharp there Clem. What type of sound deadener or floor product is that?

Grizz1963 · 07-01-2016, 01:24 AM

Ohhhh Man !!!

That looks so smart.

Tuba Trucks certainly knocks every one out the park.

Chevy Apache · 07-01-2016, 05:43 AM

That's one sweet looking truck think I feel a color change maybe coming in the winter time.

**clemdaddy** · 07-01-2016, 08:36 AM

Here's a couple of more detail shots from yesterday...

Low Elco · 07-01-2016, 12:38 PM

Y'all do pretty work, Clem!

flashed · 07-01-2016, 12:53 PM

It looks great ,cant wait to see more of it.

Thanks! The owner is in town today and that has me stoked and nervous at the same time... more on his truck later...

But for now its Maude. Very sad when this happens.
Maude is a 65 that is special to a very nice lady. We did tons of work on floors and doors, rebuilt the engine and got a built 700R, did a completely new chassis and in the middle of test fitting sheet metal... we were informed that the finances had dried up. I've had this happen before and it seldom has a good ending. So, since we don't want our efforts to deteriorate we quickly sprayed some epoxy sealer on the cab and will push her outback with a water proof cover. Who knows what will happen next to Maude???

Pics as she is now...

DaddyOh · 07-17-2016, 05:22 PM

Very nice work, Clem... as usual!

I think people underestimate the amount of $$$$ that it takes to do a project 'right'. I tell people to expect to pay the cost of a brand new full size truck with same amount of bells and whistles.

**clemdaddy** · 07-17-2016, 06:38 PM

you're exactly right… but then I say that your old truck will appreciate and not depreciate, that it will be cheaper to register and insure, that parts and services in the future will be less, but best of all… older trucks kill it in the cool department. go figure.
all we can do is build them… can't afford to finance them too. hope she comes back and continues the build, I don't know what to do with it otherwise.

and thanks Daddy-Oh.. really dig your work.

Low Elco · 07-17-2016, 07:58 PM

Is she up to date? I hope so.

Bomp · 07-17-2016, 08:19 PM

Excellent work Clem. October can't get here soon enough.

Hope the best for Maudes owner.

**clemdaddy** · 07-24-2016, 12:10 PM

Thanks Bomp and LowElco, the good news is she came by on Friday with an installment and reassured me that all was good... Maude's Back.
We spent a couple of weeks on the Austin Blue and got quite a bit done. Front sheet metal and bright work hung, Retro sound stereo and subs installed, all the factory air stuff finished and a bunch of the paint and body work on the bed and tailgate plus the wheel tubs...

**clemdaddy** · 07-24-2016, 12:25 PM

Friday was a banner day... after 5 years of sitting out back all deprived and neglected my 39 deluxe coupe is headed for headers. Custom Craft Headers is building a set of fender walls for the LS6. That is hopefully only the beginning of the work on this car cause I really want to drive my HotRod before... ahhh, well, you know, before.

I think I might have to fight you for that seat Bomp . The truck looks great just wish I was coming over this year , but I guess if I come next year the Hot Rod might be finished .

bj383ss · 07-25-2016, 08:02 PM

Man I think I am going to have to paint my radiator covers body color after seeing this awesome truck! Looks amazing.
