History GENE WINFIELD SHOP TRUCK FOUND (official restoration thread)

Very cool! Save that dash!

 

Impressive - can't wait to see it.

 

Hey sorry about Dales butt comment he has worked it off the truck is awesome thanks for the tour !!

 

here are the new sideboards. (sorry about the small pic.)

 

No problem Terry. It was good to see you.

 

Another one raised from the dead!!Cool truck.

 

the truck is lookin awsome

 

I just a few moments ago witnessed the Gene Winfield Shop Truck move under it's own power... Amazing.

Everyone in going to the GNRS should be VERY excited!

 

I sure am!

 

Dang ponyboy , cant wait to see it ! Do you think we can take it out on some backroads and drink a 6pack and air it out ?

 

hey ... saw the picture with you and the "Bonneville Bomber" back in the 50's and thought I'd share these pics of her at Billetproof in Chehalis, Wash last summer.

 

Cool! With all the restos being done on vintage rods and customs, GNRS needs to create a "comeback car of the year" award. This would get my vote.

 

I've been watching this thread from day 1 and I've got to say that the restoration looks absolutely stunning. Kudos to you guys for bringing her back to life ... Gene's going to be very proud.

 

I saw the truck last year at Autorama. Pretty rough but a good "barn find" condition. You guys have done a great job in only a year. Looking forward to seeing it again in its finished condition.

 

Hope yall didnt get any tornado damage at the shop!!!!!!!!!

 

Nope we made it through ok. All the major damage was about 2 miles from us.

 

Putting the final touches on the truck right now. It is basicly done. Doing some final buffing on the body then it will go on the lift to get the underside cleaned up and buffed. Loading it up Monday and heading out Tuesday for the GNRS.

 

The truck is done. Completely done. It will be on it's way to California first thing in the morning... Watch out Cali cause here we come!!!!

 

Looking forward to seeing it in the show.

Congratulations on finishing the restoration, and you even get a decent nights' sleep before you have to get on the road in the morning. You guys are good! Usually for most builds, it's an all night thrash up until the last possible minute before you have to leave for the show.

 

This "Bonneville Bomber" was built by Doug Rice of Aberdeen, WA in the '50's and has been owned by Donnie Richardson of Hoquiam, WA for many years.
