About time!

[WSSix]

Good deal, Greg. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[GregWeld]

LOL --- hadn't thought about George and "his" color..... but you're right!


Seriously ---- there are things on builds that I just let the builder "do" without my input. We discuss direction and some general ideas.... and if I like what I'm hearing -- I tell 'em to figure it out and run with it. Engine compartment on this build is one of those areas.... I just let 'em choose whatever they think is going to work.

Sweet looking motor Greg.

Paint it Pontiac baby blue, ship it to Orlando and just start over Greg... it's your truck, the engine should be YOUR color of choice!

No I'm not Mike. Someone sent me that and I copy pasted.

Looks great Greg, if you and CHRA keep this up, it'll be done before that crappy Riv. Hows upholstery coming along? If that's running behind, just drape a mexican blanket over it and done. :relax:

[GregWeld]

Pretty pictures say more than I can.......


By the way guys ---- if you like what you're seeing -- progress..... quality.... speed of work.... These guys are so good that I've really pretty much just let them have their way with this build. Mike Kaiser (EX Pinkee's.... LOL) calls or emails -- we discuss "X" -- he is given "guidance" -- and then they present and I either nix or roll with it. I don't think I've nixed or had them do a single thing over (design wise).

The color scheme is "them" -- the interior is all in house as is the paint..... and I'm just absolutely LOVING THIS SHOP!

Thanks Charley. There. I said it in person.

Are you feeling OK Greg? Did someone hack your account? :poke: :snapout:

[GregWeld]

I'm not showing all the stuff we're doing on this little daily driver --- but a pet peeve is the crappy plastic A/C vents.....



66223




And we all seem to hate looking at LS coils..... and A/C hoses hanging in the bay....




66224

[DBasher]

Love the curve and style of the louvers, so dang kool!
:thumbsup::flag2:

[waynieZ]

Crappy plastic vents No More! Nice.

[GregWeld]

Crappy plastic vents No More! Nice.



It really is a "choice" that is either super ordinary -- Like Torq Thrust II's -- or you try to hide them -- or ?? there's nothing wrong with them -- but I wanted something that looked like it belonged and yet was still a bit custom.

This - for me - goes back many years, to my Nomad. I searched forever and finally found NOS A/C vents.... rather than just go the easy route and pop in the usual aftermarket vent.


BTW --- Sometimes I feel like our poor POTUS -- and I say things without a full explanation.....

Photos say 1000 words??? Here's what I'm talking about...... I replaced these wonderful plastic vents with FACTORY vents....

Shortly after you’re gone...I’m done with your friends, lol.

In all seriousness, I’m glad you were home and my boys got to see the guy I talk about and cut out of town to go hang with. I hadn’t seen Gwen in almost a year so it was nice to sit and talk with her, she’s a keeper for sure!

Looking forward to seeing the “Truck of the Year” get completed and the miles racked up.

Xoxo

[jarhead]

Well it didn't look like this on Monday, lol...

Thanks for the tip of sending me there while I was in Austin, the Hot Rod Shop was over the top! Your 40 was blown apart for paint and it was in a clean room, I think they could have done surgery in there!

Mike showed us around and then turned us loose. It was like a car show inside of giant pole barns, and more buildings going up.

[GregWeld]

So glad you took the time to hit up some car stuff Joe!! And that's top notch car stuff!!

I love all the guys in this shop.... and they've just continued to perform! My poor little truck has advance leaps and bounds since CHRA took on the project.

[GregWeld]

I'm only posting this for Joe! Since he went all the way to the shop and only saw a bucket of bolts. Sorry Joe - but there was plenty of other stuff to see there huh!!! LOL

Well -- that -- and because Charley and I are in a "race" to the finish.

[GregWeld]

Greg,
You and I may be the only one's, But I love that Grey!

Color commitment is tough... because you really don't know what it's going to look like until it's on there... and then it's too late.

I like it better now with the color. It's a 40's color palate.... It's simple and doesn't say "look at me" -- I'm not a "trend setter".... I just want the mechanicals to be solid and the old pile of parts to run and drive WELL.

The paint will look like crap after I've owned it for 2 weeks... I'm just not a waxer. I'm a "Bugs are a badge of honor" kind of guy here.

[WSSix]

I'd say you nailed the look it that was what you're going for. The drive line and frame look great. The contrast from the gold/bronze color really pops.

[clill]

It will be good that he drives it in the grey primer and then after the tour he can decide on a color.

[GregWeld]

I didn't really pick a lot of "it" as far as details. I think the only thing I came up with was that I wanted to build a '40 pickup.... I'm more a general guidance guy.... Mike Kaiser will send me a sketch - I don't re-do the sketch - I instantly like what I see and say PERFECT! DO IT! I KNOW it will be awesome. You can tell that THEY have already redone the sketch or talked about it etc. By the time I see the version they send - it's spot on. After a few exchanges like that - you get out of the way and let 'em build a kool hot rod.

I did change the art deco design in the seats and door panels -- the original looked too much like a middle finger -- so we shortened it so that it's not the first thing that pops into your head. I asked for the trunk in the trunk because as a daily - I want to be able to lock something up... I asked for bumper delete.... I can't even remember if I picked the wheels, or if Mike did. I think it was Mike.

Here's my thought about doing business this way. If I didn't trust the shop and the hot rod guys that are building it.. why would it be there. These guys get up and live and breathe this stuff every day (I only wish I could be so lucky). When I'm building something - I think they know more than I do about almost all of it. I know what I like or don't like - I make that general direction be known. I don't discuss what it's going to cost - or what an item they want to do costs. I can't stick to a budget - a project like this can't be built on budget... because everybody (Charley) says - HEY! You know what would be really kool.... and here we go..... LOL

Everything they've done has just been "well how kool is that!" to me! It's like Christmas -- you've asked for a few things -- you have no idea what's under the pretty paper -- but it's just what you ever wanted.... and you didn't even know you wanted it!

This truck and the HOF tour is going to save my sanity and restore my faith in the car industry. I need some "GREAT" right now. I have to admit - I think I've been a little depressed lately.

I kind of like "subtle like a hammer" -- which is what I think this little truck is going to be. They're already classics... and with a decent stance - a few little details (Thank you Mike Kaiser and the crew!), a sweet little motor/tranny combo (Thanks to my friend Don Hardy Jr XOXO) -- the Roadster Shop chassis (XOXO to my friends Phil and Jeremy!) Thank you GM for making LS motors to put in my Fords!

Those are just shout outs for people I consider my friends - (not sponsors/no free or discounted stuff)... They're just people that have had great input and I smile when I see them!

God I love this hobby!

[Winmon]

That gray was a great call. I agree with going the "less vocal" route. Let it surprise people lol

Truck looks great Greg, I like the all black chassis and components. Radiator exhaust.. The average person is going to have to really look twice to realize this is a modern vehicle and not a restored 40 Ford pickup. I saw a while back your comment on the grey color and knew what. You where thinking. I was a painter at Toyota dealership and notice the colors and how they change from years past. I just had this conversation with a friend the other day about colors cycling.. That similar grey was probably a color back in 30's then in the 60s and now again..anyhow looks great! Progress ya gotta love it!

I will for sure! Because I have not heard them either -- despite having owned them for about 10 years - maybe even longer! LOL

I bought them for a project I was doing and then decided to go with one smaller "lesser" amp.... so they sat. Then I was going to use them in my '32 Highboy -- but that was a true roadster - so "stereo" was a complete waste.... then I sent 'em down to Roy Brizio for the '33 build - he said "no way - the car doesn't get a stereo and certainly not something that size --- so they sat some more. Finally - I have a spot behind the seat for them and at this point I would have made them build a box under the bed for them ---- because this is my last chance at any of this.... so "f it" -- they're in !

Gwen isn't in to "noisy" / lumpy cammed up hot rods.... and she was the only reason this truck is being built -- I was trying to sell it back in 2016 when I blew off all my other stuff.... and she said NO -- She wanted it completed.... so since she'll end up with it - I asked for a little quieter mufflers... (and added the cut outs for me!).....

Actually -- I'd thought about turning the truck in to a track day toy -- just a "dare to be different" -- I'd have put Roadster Shops more competition chassis under it -- and nastied up the motor some more -- and made room for some fat Hoosiers.... LOL Would have been cool to show up for a track day in an old truck... but that was mostly just a passing thought (maybe passing gas IDK). I really just wanted it to cruise around Sun Valley versus a "normal" car/truck...

What I did know for sure was.... I didn't want a Riviera.... LOL

It's old skool kool (the theme to start with) with great running gear.... Should be a hoot to drive.

if your driving it to salt lake please stop at the shop so we can see it!!!

I would if I could Blake -- but we leave Salta Laka City (if anyone has seen Book of Mormons they'll get the reference).... and head to Yellowstone - and eastward to Mount Rushmore etc -- so we don't come close to St George on the tour.

[69hugger]

Wow, what a beauty! Talk about "slick"!

The tour will be the trip of a lifetime. We will all be waiting for the blow by blow coverage.

I can just see you & Charley waiting (hoping?) for the other to have a glitch so you can blast by at speed while laying on the horn!

Possibility of GG Street Machine & Early Truck of the year for you two? Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Have a great HOF!

Honking?? NO!! One hand on the wheel -- while the other is flipping the goofball off......


I don't build anything for a "reward" or for a trophy -- or even for others to ooh and awe over..... I just like driving them!! I will consider it a total winner if Rudy and I have ZERO issues on the trip and we just get to enjoy the ride.

Lucky for me - the builder has a large stacker trailer and Mike Kaiser (shop foreman supreme) will be following the whole tour.... so I know there's expertise and tools available. I don't EVER expect these old POS to be trouble free.... they never are... but little stuff is easily tightened up on the road.

Mike has placed a spare STARTER (the issue I had last year with the '68 Corvette) - an Alternator - a fuel pump - belt - wheel bearings -- and a couple other parts in the little coffin in the bed..... so of course NONE of those things will be an issue whatsoever! LOL

[Blake Foster]

was thinking you may on the way TO SLC

[GregWeld]

was thinking you may on the way TO SLC

Ah --- CHRA is trailering it from Austin to Salt Lake - I'm being a big shot and flying there (35 minute flight - LOL).... and we're headed east bound and down the following morning.

Just for fun - I mapped driving "home" (I'll be homeless by the end of the tour) and Scottsdale is nowhere near St George.... So maybe you and Anita just need to come over for dinner and we'll go blow up a new set of tires! No weight and 550hp ought to make that pretty easy....

[FaBrycation]

I am SOOOO excited to see the finished product Greg!!!! I love the colors and wheel choice. I am glued here for more pics

If I live long enough -- I plan to put a lot of road miles on this little POS..... and Colorado would be a place high on my list of visiting. The Roadster shop chassis -- LS power - 6 speed auto -- good tunes -- should make for a sweet little driver. Simple and effective.

I got a dumb question. What do you do with your vehicles at night? Do the hotels or GG provide security? Always wanted to know that, same with Power Tour. I would be terrified to leave my vehicle overnight in a hotel parking lot!

With a gazillion other nice nice cars in the parking lot, it’s not that big of a deal. On the other hand, when I drive out alone, there is that fear factor. Try to park in a well lit spot, remove the steering wheel, hope the gps is working, the person who parks next to u isn’t a douche and door ding ya. They are supposed to be drivers..lol

Craig --- at a couple of the stops last year -- we had private security and local cops where put on alert. The local cop sat all night at the entrance to the parking lot.

Trust me -- they got this stuff down!! Which is another reason it's so dang fun.

PS: watch out for the buffalo in Yellowstone, they don't give a crap about your new paint job and perfect fenders (had one scratch it's ass on the grill of our F-250 the last trip there).

It looks great Greg. I love the inlay on the seat and door panels. They did a amazing job. All we need now is for them to tote it down and hand you th keys!

Thanks guys.....

Funny -- laying here in Scottsdale tonight -- flew down to look at a house or two (actually tried to buy one today but that's another story) -- and I got to thinking that this truck was being built to be my little daily driver in Sun Valley.... Where - quite frankly - there is NOWHERE to drive to... no shows... no car scene -- just a tiny town with very few streets or stop lights. Maybe it was a bit "over the top" for there.... so moving to Scottsdale will be just perfect for it!! LOL

Funny how things ebb and flow..... and somehow things work out in the end.

Personally I'm just so thankful to have CHRA building it - because it sure looks to exceed my expectations.

I will put a tow strap in the little bed coffin for when Charley needs to be dragged off the road.

To think that this was on the H of F tour when it took off from Denver.... then was seen again when we stopped at CHRA last year -- and now it's actually going to be ON the tour.... and amazingly I'm still alive to drive it. Pretty cool really.

You guys remember when Ed and Charley left me this kind note and welcome wave when it first was started. Seems like eons ago doesn't it??

Remember it like it was yesterday, it was the 2nd tour, 2014, just after Ed dragged us over the Colorado's summits (talking about white knuckling it). You were supposed to be there, Big Lil was waiting to surprise you In Pleasanton, but you were too busy building a cave in Sun Valley.

I'm blessed to be apart of this mess. Since i went WAY outa my comfort zone in 2013 when Ed called it the Muscle Car road trip.

Would of never found it, if not for this site.

[thedugan]

That thing is beautiful. BUT - I like your projects that leak oil, misaligned body panels, don't run, etc.. creates more internet drama ;)

Best of luck with it, great to see different kind of projects being worked on and built.

See it finished for the first time today around 2.... and since I’m in Salt Lake City way ahead of Lillard... I’ve had time to repay the spray painted message he left on my door 4 years ago. I’m sure one of the stops on the tour has a buffer and some compound.

The truck is about 200% BETTER than my wildest expectations!! It's an OMG over the top fit and finish -- and I'm still soaking in all the details they did. Can't speak high enough to the craftsmanship!

Drives like a brand new S Class Mercedes....

In Jackson Hole for the night -- Day 1 of H of F tour in the books!

If you EVER EVER get a chance to drive on highway 89 south of Jackson Hole (Wyoming).... you would believe the spectacular color of turquoise of Bear Lake! Pictures can't capture (cell phone from moving car - Thanks to Paulette Tibor)....

[GregWeld]

Yellowstone and Old Faithful and all that today ---- and OMG what a perfect time of year for a tour thru the mountains!! Fall colors are spectacular -- red and yellow and light greens and dark greens --- and great cars and great friends!!

Follow along on Face(F)Book --- on the GoodGuys page (https://www.facebook.com/goodguysrodandcustom/).... they have some of the best pics there. Hard to drive and take pics too -- and much more fun just to soak it all in.

Considering I was supposed to be D E A D after the 2016 tour --- I think "the man upstairs" was saving some of the best days up for me to enjoy! Just an amazing tour Ed Capen planned once again. I can't imagine the hours he's spent finding these roads and putting all of this together!

Awesome. Sick truck. Gets my vote.

[GregWeld]

So --- I've never ever been a "car show" guy --- and I've never been a trophy guy. I've won a few -- most hit the trash can before I left the parking lot. Sorry -- In my mind, I've driving the trophy... not being a snob here -- just being honest. Driving 'em is what turns my crank....

I was "hoping" with this truck that I might be at least "considered" for an early truck "finalist"... Mostly I really I wanted to win it -- not for the "prestige" or that part - but because it comes with a Snap-On tool box.... and I'm a tool whore... so thought that would be like winning the Super Bowl for me.

No such luck -- they picked another very cool truck.

But I did get a "Pro's Pick" AND a GoodGuys Gazette Full Feature Award.... and you only can get ONE award -- so I had to make a choice. I chose the Full Feature award - and they're doing the photoshoot in the morning. To me - that's a killer award - because my kids / wife will have the truck and a magazine article with all the details and story etc to go along with it.

All in all it's just been another great trip with people that (after 4 years of doing these tours with them) I call friends.... and traveling the backroads of America in cool old cars - and seeing cool stuff - and going places you'd never ever go to for any reason... that's the best part of this whole deal. Miles make me smile.... and seeing my friends is even better.

The truck will go back to CHRA for the most minor clean up of some paint chips --- adjustment of the electronic transmission (I want it to shift "sportier) - and a shock and spring change.... chassis came with AFCO's -- and springs -- and with the trunk in the bed and two guys and "stuff" -- it needs better and different than what the chassis ships with. Standard adjustments after 3,000 miles of "thinking about it". I'd call that a pretty damn successful project build. If I live long enough to build another "whatever" CHRA will be handling that. They've just been a pleasure to work with - and I'm happy that they're also friends.

I fly home to Sun Valley in the morning --- and get in my pickup (F-450, not this truck) and drag my trailer which is packed -- to Scottsdale...

[waynieZ]

Thanks for posting that Skipper!

Pretty good looking primer if you ask me...... LOL

I love that it changes colors with different light. It's exactly what I saw in the color when my son Alex suggested it. In this photo it's lighter grey -- in others it's a darker grey with a hint of black/brown in it. I love that.
