So Cal F100 friends. We're back at it. Check us out at the Roadster Show in Jan. You won't be able to miss the new orange 53 of Bobco's.

It will be featured in all the magazines after the show. It was a labor of love build that took about 6 years. The Roadster Show will be its big debut. The major metal work was done by a guy in Utah named Kim, but I can't remember his last name. (I'll get it and post it.) He did the bed, fenders, hood, running boards, taillight trim and tuned up the chop. The chop and section was done somewhere in Orange County. I did all the chassis, electrical, assembly, ect. We had several body guys work on the body. Bobco did the finish and all the paint and polishing. Mark at Elegance Upholstery did the stitching and the center console.
Its 350/350 powered. 9" rear, Must II front. Combination stock chassis and tube structured rear section. Obviously on air bags.
Its been a long time coming and we can't wait to show it off!!

Was Kim Stewart who did all the body mods? If so, I believe he also builds the roll pans which are sold by Mid-fifties.

That's him Lance!! Kim builds alot of parts Mid 50's sells. Great guy and an awesome fabricator. We met him thru a mutual friend, Bill Lee.

Steve, yep, that's my cousin Bill. he's been with Jay for 17-18 years. He does all the bodywork and some painting. My uncle even worked there for awhile. Jay and Colleen are great people. They built very high quailty stuff. Years ago we started an 59 Corvette project for a guy, tube chassis, LS engine, ect. The body needed some real work and Jay is alot better at glass than we we're so the project went there. When finished it was a beautiful blue and won everything it entered in. It was in all the Vette mags at the time.
You can't go wrong having them work on your truck if need be.
