:y0!: Have welder willing to travel. :lmao:

I should also note my welding ability would really add to the statement. :sieg:

Not surprised that a cutting edge bunch like RS is being pro-active.

Most shops take much longer than this to determine that their customer sucks.


:tv_happy:

HA HAAAAAAAAAAA
Charlie,...see what you started with that door? :lol:

You guys pay attention. He really does want that welded in.

So, is this a sponsored by Clill deal, or what?
I say if he wants it, weld it. Who cares about resale value!

Charley and I have an agreement -- he buys all my old stuff when I'm done with it. Gawd I hope he doesn't die before me... Gwen would be really upset if all these "investments" I've made don't pay off. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

So, this is a Roadster shop build, down to the LS, and yep, it just cruised at 90. Bada$$

So NO that is not a Roadster Shop build... IT IS a Roadster Shop CHASSIS.... with an 8 stack injected LS motor. The owner built it in memory of his wife Connie.

It's just about perfect!

Correct, not the build but the chassis. Pat, the owner, super nice guy, is tight with Greening Auto....great guys from last years "haul"....

I think when they weld it in they should back up where its laser cut with a bright color so no misses it.

Santa showed up today at Pinkee's Rod Shop with a gift from The Roadster Shop....




EEEEEEHHHHHHAAAAAAAA

Pretty !

I thought I read that you ordered the IRS set up.


Looks good

Greg, are you referring to the chassis, or the set of 225/90/r15's in the background?

I was referring to the Harbor Freight dolly......

No need for IRS in a simple little daily driver truck.... Simple Ford 9" live axle will work perfectly. Truck should drive like a new car --- nice LS power plant - electronic automatic... Recovery Room interior.... toss in a little A/C and Heat... Give it a good stance (Pinkee's knows stance!). Call it done. LOL

Haven't been on here for a few months, Nice new project you have going on there Greg, I go to Denver a few times a year I may have to swing in to that shop and check it out.

Greg, I appreciate you trying to influence these other guys positively with all these great builds that take less time than Darryl and Darryl's trip across the US. However, you can't turn ducks into eagles.:D :D :D

I know, I know!! While Eagles SOAR -- some of these quackers have SORES....


HAHAHAHAHAHA

Simple...:rofl: :rofl: :weld: Gonna be a cool ride.

Nice chassis Greg, so how much longer, a few weeks??? :popcorn2: :D

So?? Did they weld it in??
Great plan Greg. I just got a 55 Chevy pickup that my father-in-law had been working on over the years. He passed away last December and told my wife he'd like me to get the truck. Add it to the project list! lol

I seriously never asked Eric (Pinkee's) when it will be done. I know he asked Phil (Roadster Shop) to jump on the chassis so that he can have the body on the chassis when we stop at the shop during the GG Hall of Fame Tour. I also added money to the till... so there's no hold ups there. He will need to order a complete new bed... rear fenders from Wescott... and the motor and trans etc. But none of these builds are done much before a couple years pass. Maybe I'll drive it to the Medicaid office?? LOL






It truly is being built to be my DD. My F-150 is a real nice new pick up... but a cute '40 will fit my lifestyle here in the Valley. Most of my driving is spent under 35 MPH... or the short jaunt down to Hailey to the shop. Stella can ride in the back... I can put a bike rack in the bed... and if we really want to drive somewhere and take luggage and all that - Gwen has a Cayenne GTS that will fill that need. We also have a new Range Rover - but every time I drive it I'm looking at every other vehicle on the road thinking that I'd rather be driving "that" over the RR. It's the Buick of SUV's.

I have a project like that for real... .



The hell you say...?!?


Jeff-

Umm Greg I believe Steve was asking if this ⬇️⬇️⬇️ was welded in the frame??? :poke:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^




No they did not == despite several emails asking them/telling them - ITS OKAY I'D LIKE IT IN!!


Of course = they're running a business -- not a jokester shop.... and I don't blame Phil for wanting the RS logo in there instead. They are shipping the WELD SUCKS version so I can make wall art out of it.

Sweet ! If they took the time to make it, its something you should be proud of!

Oh we'll need picture of it mounted.

Stopped by
 

Pinkees to pick their artistic minds and got a shop tour. I saw the 40 sitting on the RS frame ... man that thing looks great sitting there. Saw a couple other cars that had me drooling .... nice work in that shop!!!

Good choice Greg!

Yes! The Boys at The Roadster Shop stepped up and delivered the chassis in time for Eric (Pinkee's) to get the body set on it so I could see it on our way to Texas on the Good Guys Hall of Fame Tour... and then I had to cancel that because the '33 began to overheat and I couldn't fix it in time. Well - I could have - but that would have required heroic effort and I'm busy doing other stuff...


This will be ANOTHER project that will no doubt be finished before a certain Blue with Ford stripes Camaro.... or the Queen MaryTorino... or maybe even before Sinister... LOL

Lookin good Mr. Weld! Cant wait to see this one finished up!

THANKS!!!



It's not much right now - but it should come together rather quickly once Eric gets cranking on it. I kind of "sprung" this project on him when we were really discussing me just buying his 40 Ford PU... then he found me the body sitting in someones backyard out in Wyoming... and you see the result here. :lol: :bang:

Trucks looking very good Greg,that Roadster Shop chassis sure is nice:thumbsup:

This is exactly the type of DD/shop truck I've been telling myself for years to build. (although I am afraid I'll take it too far!!)
My duramax is amazing when towing, but It's kinda dumb to fire it up every day for the 4 mile commute to the shop!
Looking good!

Thanks!! There's lots of builders of the 1935 to 1940 chassis - but I like the way Roadster Shop does theirs. It's just solid and will serve me well as a DD.






Steve --- Once I moved to Sun Valley -- where my normal driving is done a 25 MPH and I get a 4 block stretch at 35.... and the big trip for the day is running down to my "shed" --- a whopping 15 miles - mostly at 55 MPH or less.... Doesn't make sense to drive anything too fancy -- or too fast... So this pick up should serve me just fine. I had Gwen sell her Cayenne Turbo because most of her driving is about 3 or 4 miles total - at low speeds.... and my thought was that in the winter around here - the turbo oil would be sluggish as hell. So she got the GTS - and frankly we both like it WAY better. Better torque - and for me - lower to the ground. LOL

This pick up is going to be nothing but my DD -- and I agree with you - the hard part will be to keep it simple - and use materials and products that can hold up -- not need polishing - and if it gets dirty - so what.

Now -- trying to hold Tracey's (The Recovery Room) feet to the fire when he does the interior will be fun..... I want simple - clean - early - RUGGED... dog can puke on it and nobody will know... "style". LMAO

Maybe some Digi Camo...... LOL

Well after seeing your others cars I am sure this truck will be bitchin!
I gotta show my pops the progress of the build, his retirement project is a 41 ford pick up. Once i finish up my cuda, i am gonna help him start tearing into that. Maybe when he sees this build he will want something besides a stock suspension and a flathead!!!
Cheers!

I was rolling with the bird dog theme and a fabric that would perform to your demanding standards. :D

It going to be sweet when its done, and with that under it a dam fine ride.

Charley just sent this for you Greg. :lol:
