History GENE WINFIELD SHOP TRUCK FOUND (official restoration thread)

Sorry to hear about your Dad. I been off the HAMB all summer due to my Dads health.
IM in the same boat he doesnt have much more time.

 

I'm very sorry to hear about your Dad and hope that you and your family and friends find comfort in one another during this difficult time.

I lost my own Father this past June after a long and difficult decline, and think of him every day.

 

Sorry to hear about your dad. Cherish everyday you can.

That's horrible. Fucking Cancer...

 

Sorry to hear about your dad...mine got similar news a few weeks ago...

 

Family comes first, your second family (HAMB) comes a distant second. Sorry to hear about your dad.

 

Agreed. Take care of family and prayers from Indiana.

The truck looks AMAZING by the way!

 

This will be the last update before the truck is finished.

Here is a quick sneak peak!

 

fantastic.

 

Sweet, then we just have to wait for the pictures from the gnrs to be published?

 

You guys are doing an amazing job on that truck, and not wasting any time either! Autorama?

 

I will post some finished pictures before it's off to the GNRS. And yes Eric. We will be at the Autorama.

 

Looking great. Can't wait to see it done. I would imagine it is going to be pretty cool for Gene to see his truck in all it glory again. You guys should be proud of the incredible restoration you have done on it.

 

10 working days till we leave for the GNRS. The thrash is underway!

 

just beautiful

 

Get Barnes off his butt make him get to work !!

 

Cool!!!!!

 

Looking good !

 

Extremely impressive!

 

Thanks everyone. Sorry about the crappy cell phone picture. I can't find my real camera.

 

One of the reasons I am looking forward to the GNRS...simply a beautiful period restoration. I seriously doubt the pictures do it justice

 

that is sweet

 

man-o-man

 

Nice find

 

One last update. Still lots more to be done. 7 days till we leave for GNRS.

 

Too beautiful for words! Love the contrast between the champagne gold and pearl of the interior against exterior gold.

I wasn't I'd like those wheel covers since the wire wheels on the blue version look so great, but seeing them here has me sold! I love them; very unique, a great-looking distinctive touch that makes this special truck even more so.

 

I agree froghawk. I wasn't a fan of the interior color or the hubcaps but seeing them on there changed my mind.

 

Way cool!!!! I like it!!!!

 

Who did the striping? Herb Martinez?

 

looks great, can't wait to see it at the autorama...
