Hello, I am Tim and I have had this TERPU handle on here for going on 16 maybe even 20 years. It means Tim Edwards Roadster Pick Up. But you see I had one in progress when I came here, then I sold it but alas too late to change the Handle. I'm the_combustion_junkie on Instagram and I like that a lot better it just suits my eclectic nature. I love anything with pistons and wheels. But I digress - Life changes it's a fact. After trying unsuccessfully three additional times to live up to my handle I finally forced myself to build and drive a closed cab A pick up with the intent of making it into a Roadster Pick Up. It was the last vehicle I built in my Garage in Aptos before I moved back to my original home turf in SLO County. Morro Bay to be exact. So with a serious change in location coming the pressure was on. Actually that's just drama, I could have easily have trailered all these parts and thrown them in the corner of the barn. But that would have been no fun and like quitting. Nope we were gonna drive this one and 90 days or less we built a truck out of parts we had layin' around. All of it with the exception of the battery were pieces we'd squirreled away. Hoarding- it's not just a disease its a lifestyle but it finally paid off. Tonight I thought, shit I haven't posted anything on the HAMB in ages. Merely lurked and gleaned smiles from all y'all. But enough of my rambling here's some photos - We all gotta start somewhere Leaving the garage for the very last time Playin' on the Salt Haulin' #7 to the Santa Marguerita Races Getting Serious about an RPU Poor little Chevy More Deconstruction - BTW that kids the best help a Dad could ever ask for. Viola RPU RPU and now AV8 to quote Pink Floyd "moving forward in reverse" Stay tuned next pictures of us with wind in our hair and smiles on our tanned faces hopefully...........soon PS - anybody have a stock Ford Top? and or need a '57 283 ? (adapters and mounts not included).
Hey Tim- glad your back..... But the white screen makes me think of old cable tv on channel 13 after midnight.....
You can probably post a link to the photo bucket album they are in and guys can open the album but unless you paid the premium they won't show when you try to post them. Spent the Sunday afternoon in a cool little bar in Moro Bay what was supposed to be the last day of Trog West watching the ball game, drinking some good local to the area beer and having some great fish and chips. Didn't even have my 12 shirt on.
