Weld's 40 Ford pickup

[fleetus macmullitz]

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.

You’re welcome Greg. :thumbsup:

Great wheels and I really like that gold striping they added.

Greg it was a pleasure to see you in Texas and your truck is incredible .... did Rudy clean that bug splatter off the door hinge? I know it was a crazy weekend being there with such great people but I will always remember the sincerity of a good friend, even if you like my sister better than me :) ... hmmm Lillard said the same thing, ouch!

Went back Sunday and took my nephew to the autocross where he got his first ride with Chris Wheelock in his 99 Camaro and my sister got a ride along with Mike Dusold, awesome weekend!

Call if you ever need anything :thumbsup:

Was great to see you buddy! Sorry that I get pulled in about 99 directions....

You'd think by the things we say that we hated each other.... LOL

Mike Dusold is a class act! Glad she got to ride with him! Rudy rode with Nick Relampagos and you couldn't wipe the smile off his face with 80 grit!

Greg, got any new pics of those beautiful amps installed?

LOL --- of all the things I DIDN'T take a picture of. They're buried behind the seat back --- so you just forget about them.

Had to laugh when I did look at them --- the shop upholstered between them and on the ends -- you have no idea how they're mounted nor do you see wires etc.


Here's the music to me...... LOL

Some guys are "shutterbugs" -- some guys are just happy to see stuff thru their eyes.... I'm the latter. I just don't take many pics -- too damn busy just enjoying the stuff we see and the people....

In the car hobby I've always said there are two kinds --- Greasers and Waxers.... I'm a greaser. I could care less about shiny paint... I want my stuff bulletproof and drivable.


Here's a pic of a few us going to some greasy spoon somewhere in god knows where.... most days I had no idea what state I was in let alone what city. I love the diversity of cars on these tours.

If you're on Faceybook --- from Left to Right -- Alan Pound - me - Jesse James (I built my '33 after seeing Jesse's) - Rod Parsons - Alan Miller (car will be for sale soon and it's bad ass and dead nuts reliable - all SpeedTech and quick autocrosser)

[Sonar Chief]

I'm a greaser too, that's why my car is going to be wrapped and not in paint jail for years and still not correct :bang:

Yeah both my sister and nephew had smiles bigger than their face after their rides, I was glad to be a part of it! They have a better appreciation for my car addiction and some of the guys' (let's just call them ... personalities) :thankyou:

[waynieZ]

Greg the truck sounds great. I’d love to do a tour one of these days. Hey Chief how are you doing?

[DBasher]

Oh I gotcha, Greaser. I was referring to the POS dirt missile video.... not at all the quality of the video production but the quality of the delivered product.

Here, I’ll simplify it for ya.

Nice truck! Sounds great!

Jesse has about 65,000 miles on that car now, he's a machine.

KWhizz stopped in this morning and I talked to Chris and Lynda over the weekend........I am so happy for you that the truck is everything it was supposed to be and more. Keep rolling that odometer over.

Interesting side note. I was cruising CHRAs website a couple of weeks back and noticed a familiar face in the crew. Mathew Harris is responsible for me making my career in this field. He wrote a letter to Hot Rod Magazine in 1997(I think?) about his time at Wyo Tech.....I signed up the next week. When I got to the street rod program, he was my instructor and I learned so much from him. I don't know if he worked on your truck and I haven't seen him in a long time, I hope he is well.

Jesse is just one fun human being --- I love him! We have so much fun dishing crap. I wish I saw him and John more often. Well hell -- there's a LOT of people I wished I saw more often.... but when your friends are spread out all over the country and on a couple continents -- you have to be content to just enjoy when you're together.

I don't know Mathew by name but may recognize his face..... I know there were a lot of "all hands on deck" to get this done in the time they had. This was by far the most trouble free and most enjoyable build I've had done. While I'd prefer to build 'em myself - those days are over for me.

[GregWeld]

PPG must be doing a “primer” Ad...... They asked to use the 40 for one of their print Ads..... This IS NOT the verbiage they’re going to use - that’s just a place holder....

Greg,

A lot of us here like hot rods, (especially your truck) as well as straight pro-touring cars.

So tell us why your little ‘40 puts those smiles on your face? :thumbsup:

[Che70velle]

Saw one of these in person (might have been this one) when Petit LeMans was in town. I had no idea what it was, and had to google images when I got home from work that day. It was behind a new GT40, but I still had no idea what it was. Looks killer on the street!

[fleetus macmullitz]

IIRC Greg’s cab was stretched.

From here, the cab doesn’t look stretched on this one.

[GregWeld]

No — I stretched the chassis not the cab - cab and bed are stock dimensions.... and yes - these are tight little cabs. I’m still shaking my head thinking about my BIL Rudy driving - and we didn’t change seat positions between us... Rudy is 6’3” ish.... I’m 4’ 3” or less....

His knee did repeatedly push in the 4 way flasher button on the column. LOL

[fleetus macmullitz]

Greg,

Where would you put a stretch be in one of these trucks...lengthen the doors or add room behind the seats?

I put my eyeballs on Greg's truck today at GG Scottsdale. Talk about eye candy, definitely passed the eyeball test. One of the coolest trucks I've ever seen. Love the color, its awesome. Its a fantastic quality build also.

I saw you , but you were busy. Congrats.

Well damn you!! I don’t care how “busy” I am — you come tap me on the shoulder!! I looked for you every time I walked past the car - but never saw you so thought that perphaps you weren’t here! When we lined up for the awards thing — I walked over to see who was driving your car to see if it was you — but it looked like someone else so I thought — Well.... I guess DSE or someone is here represent it.

Dang I would have loved spending some time having you show me all the cool stuff with yours!

[Stuart Adams]

My bad, I should have. Yes I left about 1 ish.
I think your daughter was wondering who this guy is looking over and over your truck lol. Its amazing. Just can't get over the color in person.

It’s so funny about the damn gray! It’s like the #1 compliment and question.... “love it! What color is it?” I tell them it’s “Square D Gray”


LOL

We’ll get together somewhere else Stuart.... if I can - I plan to drag/drive the little POS to a few GG shows this coming season.... not for award gathering - but just because it’s fun to use the shows as an excuse to go somewhere. There’s still places I haven’t been in this ol’ world... and Gwen said she’s game to go hit some spots with it. DelMar would be one —- and I’ve never been to Columbus — and I’d like to do Pleasanton — and Seattle (Puyallup) etc. We also need to get the heck out of here in the summer — so Victoria would be a good place to hit too!

[Stuart Adams]

Sounds great. I hope we can catch up this next year. Hopefully not at Mayo, I go twice a year. LOL.

Again the color of your truck is so great. Its so rich with body and soul in that grey.

[glassman]

Any of you guys see the Bitchin Rides episode Tuesday nite? (11/20)?

Gregs being filmed and someone asked "what color is this?)

They did half the episode on the GG road tour.

Love your truck Greg!! You have it back yet? My cars still there at CHRA.

[Juggernaut]

I wondered when someone would bring that up!

Everyone at Kindig-It looked like they were in awe of the truck, like the rest of us. :D

Harold brought it to Scottsdale for the Good-Guys show. It won another Top 10 there.

They completely disassembled the front end and repainted it. It’s all road rash free now.

None of that was scripted by the way. I didn’t know they were filming for the tv show. I thought the guys with cameras were the crew we had traveling with us for the tour.

Well, I need to find the Bitchin Rides episode then. I don't have TV. I do like the guys at Kindig. They seem to be very genuine in their actions and interactions and the cameras are there just to capture it all. They do fantastic work, too.

Do you happen to know the name of the episode? My on demand only lists 4 episodes at a time by the episode name. ( I would watch all 4, but my family wouldn't like it very much ).

Thank you.

BTW Trey, your earlier comment about the guys at Kindig-it being geniune, the same guys you see on TV are the same in person. Dave came on tour with us in '16 and i spent some time with him, mostly parking lot bs sessions after the days drive. Really nice guy, same exact guy you see on TV, funny and whitty

[WSSix]

That's great to hear, Mike. I still need to take the time to locate the episode. I've just been too busy. Maybe for Christmas vacation, lol.

[GregWeld]

I agree with Mike... The crew at Kindig is a hoot — and very talented (they’ve built two cars for my friend Ron Meis).

Dave is a first class guy. I’ve seen episodes where - if you didn’t know him — he may come off a little cocky - but he truly is not. As Mike said - he’s funny and very quick witted! You’d better be on your game if you want to fling a little you know what with him.

[Juggernaut]

I agree with Mike... The crew at Kindig is a hoot — and very talented (they’ve built two cars for my friend Ron Meis).

I wish you could have seen it when we got together — but next year we’re headed down from Detroit to Texas — not sure where you are there but it’s a pretty nice little car show when we stop at various places. Of course.... that’s also assuming they’ll invite me back! IDK.

Greg,

It was a treat to see the ep with you and the GG tour at Kindig air not once but twice yesterday.

#MTlovesthemsomeWeld

:D

[GregWeld]

The ‘40 has been getting much “love” — a full feature in the GoodGuys Gazette — and cover and full story in the latest issue of Wheel Hub magazine - and a PPG paint Ad..... so far, two Top 10 picks — and today a Gary’s Pick at GoodGuys Scottsdale.

Gary Meadors was the founder of GoodGuys. Sadly he passed last year.... so the award is an honor to me. He was truly a GOOD GUY! It was his Yellow ‘32 Ford Tudor that I was asked to drive on the 2017 Hall of Fame Tour.... I had turned that offer down because CHRA (builder of the ‘40) had asked me to drive their 68 Corvette well beforehand - and I felt I needed to honor that commitment ...but that car had starter trouble and so they rolled the ‘32 out of the trailer. Marc Meadors was supposed to drive the ‘32 on the tour but had a last minute change of plans so the car was already at DSE. Lucky for me - they just put it in a trailer and were hauling it on the tour. I’m a hot rod guy.... so that kind of stuff means something to me. Just trying to put a little story behind the meaning of this award for me personally. Not trying to be a name dropper..... it was just lucky me is all.

Then today I win this. Makes it a little “more special”.

The award......

Thanks Stuart!!

Showed it this weekend — drove it 200 mile round trip today - the more I drive it (6,000 miles now) the more I love it! A car/truck has to DRIVE right for me to like them — and this truck just drives right. Changing out to the Penske shocks and different spring rates after the tour really made a huge difference — but it’s got to be a total package — sound - steering - comfort - ride - no rattles - no cow shake - no anything — just solid and smooth.... a lot of folks can’t get that all right in a hot rod. CHRA nailed it.

If I ever meet you at a car show Greg, I'm gonna do one of two things. Either ask for a ride in said vehicle that's there or ask for the keys to drive it myself. Then I'll say...hey, we're friends....remember?! :thumbsup:

[gofastwclass]

THIS is exactly the attitude I feel everyone at car show should have. I tell friends of mine I simply won't drive my custom stuff or attend a car event if I'm not feeling social.

If I ever meet you at a car show Greg, I'm gonna do one of two things. Either ask for a ride in said vehicle that's there or ask for the keys to drive it myself. Then I'll say...hey, we're friends....remember?! :thumbsup:



I’ve always shared my good fortune with my friends — I’ve let my friends drive my race cars — I let friends drive my hot rods — Rudy drove my Nomad for 2 years while we worked on his Camaro.....

So in other words... I’d probably toss ya the keys.

Will you buy me a piece of property that I want ? Good Buddy ?

You want that one that you and Ed looked at???

[Panteracer]

I remember seeing ads in the back of the SCCA magazine
many moons ago where you could buy a place in the middle
of nowhere with a race track on the property... always
dreamed of having one of those

Don't see any of those adds anymore

That would be because it’s quite common these days to have a track with lots to build on.... and shop spaces etc. They’re building 2 new tracks right here in Phoenix.

[Panteracer]

Sounds like the Airplane guys
There is a Pantera guy in the midwest
with some air strips on his place. They
run the cars there some times

[shelteredV]

Track-Condos. They are doing a private build up near Lime Rock where you can get an "introductory" buy in for a really "good" deal. The units are beautiful and they are on the property with all kinds of amenities. Starting at 1.7m and up. Looks the ultimate boys club..

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




Hate to brag, but called it last September. Today, I'd lay money on it. Congrats!

Awesome Greg. Truck is fantastic to say the least. The color is truly amazing in person.

I think we bet a beer on it... but as neither of us drink, I guess a water will do.

We had already planned on Columbus months ago — a bucket list item - and an excuse to get out of the desert heat.... So we’ll see ya there!

[69hugger]

Never been to Columbus, but I've been to DesMoines a few times. You think you're getting out of the heat? You're only getting out of the DRY heat. Add a bunch of humidity and you're there! :drive:

As I am sure you do not need it , I would like to be first in line for the toolbox with said image of said bad a*# truck . I will consider it an early x-mas present. Just like when we were kids , I called it therefor its mine.. Great win.

Good call!!!

I have to say — that while the “kudos” for the truck are certainly heartwarming and appreciated.... What I’d really really like to have is that toolbox.... I’m a total tool head guy... and that would just be so cool to have.

[69hugger]

That badass tool box, with the picture of YOUR hot rod is the bestest prize ever. Only thing is, you'll need to fill it with about $20-30k worth of Snap-On "jewelry". After all, you can't put any old/ beat up tools in that box!
Let us know if you need a Go Fund Me page to fill it. :lol:

[Musclerodz]

Not a bad result for a truck in shiney primer. :lol:

Depending on the weather, I have been at Columbus when the the asphalt was so damn hot it was literally sticking to your shoes. The good part is that was an exception, not the rule.

[tubbed69]

Congrats on the win,glad to see you coming to Columbus so I can see your truck and hopefully meet you.My friend Rod Parsons from Ripley WV was talking about you the other day about how much fun he had with you.

Greg, Congrats on the Finalist selection. From what I have seen online it is very well deserved. I am thrilled to hear you are going to Columbus. I'm going this year and look forward to seeing the truck in person. If I see you I will make a point of introducing myself.

I will have my car parked somewhere, but will also be working the PPG booth.

LOL —- I’ve had the same discussion with Steve Frisbee (SAR) - Roy Brizio - and CHRA..... “I don’t give a damn about chrome.... build it right...because it’s going to get driven and driven hard”.

So far only Roy and CHRA got it right.

A buddy that now owns the blue ‘33 Brizio car - told me a week ago - “that car is the fastest car I’ve ever driven - it’s scary fast!” .... He owns MANY fast cars - Porsche - Ford GT40 - many fast cars.... I just laugh at the thought....

I wish all of you could experience the thrills and fun we have on the Hall of Fame Tour.... the entire point of owning and building “hot rods”/“Pro Touring”..... DRIVE ‘EM.... Drive ‘em cross country.... drive ‘em to the store.... drive ‘em to church on Sunday.... Pick out an event or show a couple states away and drive to and from. You’ll find out real soon if you built a car or a pile of sheet metal holding paint.....

Clear bra for paint protection - don’t forget where the tires are “wider than the body” areas — that will look sandblasted after a few 1000 miles.....

I used to do a lot of NCRS stuff - but I’d DRIVE to them.... if I was really going after the big points — then I’d have the driver seat reupholstered.... and usually get the top re-stretched or replaced.... a little paint touch up work (I had multiple guns and can/did this work myself).... a thorough detailing if I wanted it to look pristine....

In other words — there is a COST associated with putting miles on them..... and being anal..... but you don’t care one iota about all that when you’re out there cruising the crap out of ‘em.

My old saying in Seattle —- “that’s what winters are for”.... the rehab for the next driving season!

To me — it’s like cleaning guns and buying lots of ammo.... it’s the price you pay for actually doing with them what they’re made for.

Ha! I live outside of Buffalo... I know all about winters.
I did most of the restoration on my car, including the paint. But now I want to have it done for me if I decide to go for it.

Here she is at another car show. Yeah, I made a bunch of friends and won a bunch of plaques, but after seeing your project, Charlie’s Riv. and other builds on this site, I’d love to drop in a DelS3 style LS into it along with modern A/C and enjoy it more.

One guy (Gene) has been o every single tour. Small block chevy ‘69 Camaro. Drives from California to the start of each tour Does the tour. And drives home. They gave him a bad ass tour jacket at the end of the last one. Think he said he’s done 33,000 miles just on these tours.


In other words. You don’t need an LS Motor. A/C is another thing altogether. It is September when we do these and depending on where we start you might not need it.

Well. This is particularly true if you’ve done business with Ron Sutton and got sauced in the process.

[waynieZ]

Sauced ? must be called that because it happened a lot like coming out of a hose ...You know like getting hosed????

[GregWeld]

Back to Customs and Hot Rods of Andice (CHRA) for freshening before Columbus and other GoodGuys Shows this summer....

Tough to drive a “show car” - which is why I don’t attend many shows.... I’d prefer to just drive and let the bugs squish where they squish —— but it should look the part if I’m going to put it out there.... and all the trucks that I’m up against for Early Truck of the Year are trailer queens....

[67pro-street]

I'd like to purchase a sticker as well. So incredibly sorry to hear of the passing of probably the greatest member of this forum. The things he taught us and his willingness to share his life experiences with us is unparalleled. He will be sorely missed, and while I am still making progress on my Camaro, I wish I could have gotten it done and posted pics on here for him to see before he passed. He was a true inspiration to my life and not only in the fabrication aspect. The things I learned from his Investing 102 thread literally changed the course of my life and hopefully someday in the future I can do the same thing for others. Greg Weld is a true legend within the car community.

I couldn't say anything until after the party, but I had some stickers designed months ago to give out at the SEMA Meet and Greet. They're about 6" diameter, and I figured they'd be cool for the shop fridge , cabinets, etc. If people are interested I ordered extra.

Great memorial/party/get together at the Weld compound. He really did have some truly great people in his life and it was fun seeing everyone.

Agreed!

My wife, my daughter and I went to the celebration of life for Greg Weld on Friday night. It was nice to see Adrienne Weld , Alex and Gwen. They have a beautiful house...and there were a lot of folks there to share their stories and memories of Greg. It was good to see Charley Lillard as well! Greg's awesome truck was out front...just back from SEMA...and most recently GoodGuys in Scottsdale...as Adrienne has been taking it to a lot of events to honor her dad. Adrienne cooked some awesome food and everyone was talking about how they knew Greg.:grouphug:

Enjoy the few cell phone pics that we took....

The first three pics are of the bitchin truck, then two Camaros...and a larger version of the sticker the Welds had available for everyone that had signatures of folks you might recognize!

The backyard pic was of balloons that spelled out Greg's mantra "No Bad Days" and the last pic shows one of the stickers.

Anyone have family status update? I hope they're doing ok.

[BMR Sales]

I'm friends with Gwen & Adrienne - they are doing well.

Here is Adrienne's Message on Facebook yesterday - really nicely written piece!

They’re all doing pretty well considering. The 40 is still in the family and tucked away safe in AZ. Both kids are in the Seattle area (back home) and getting settled in to life with only memories of their father. Gwen is out and about traveling with the dogs and touching base with all of her friends, couch surfing really, lol. I had dinner with the family last night at a dive pizza joint they all grew up going to, nothing but smiles and good conversation with them all.

Like most that were close to him, it’s a mix of tears and smiles from day to day. For me, I shake my fist in the air at least once a week cursing Greg for one thing or another....I sure miss the lil asswipe.

No bad days

It is!

[DBasher]

Back in July I had John Jackson (Not Stock Photography) and Jarod from JRod & Custom steal the beater to get some pics. As usual John killed it and totally surprised Adrienne and her mom.

[camcojb]

LOVE that truck! Tell Adrienne "Hi".

[WSSix]

Neat surprise with some cool pictures.

[Che70velle]

Awesome pics! Always glad to see the truck again here.

[syborg tt]

John is amazing

Thanks for my new wallpaper! Miss GW and think of him often!

Saw a cloud driving to the movies last night that looked like a middle finger! Ha

Greg was truly one of the great ones!!

[DBasher]

Goodguys was a lot of fun, Adrienne was able to catch up with some of the Road Tour crew and we even got to see Lenie and his wicked Firebird. The truck is still getting used for what Greg built it for, driving! 🍻

[camcojb]

That's awesome!! :thumbsup:

[Gmachine1911]

Didn’t know Greg Weld but I’m glad to see this thread (and others) still continues!
