Mattml430 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Grant finished his beloved 24 dodge Ute today,“Jimbo”. It got its final polish and wax. He bought it with his dad when he was a teenager and started the restoration back then. Life , work and family kept it slow for a few years as it has for all of us. A few years ago Grant and his son started back on it and built the back out of American oak. They did an amazing job and built it to exactly like the original. I gave him a bit of a hand to finish the front off and he had Grant white do the hood which is basically the same as the roadster top. She is an absolute gem. We’ll get some pics with the top up. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearchoclatetown Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Matt, the color on the Ute looks great. Looks like all the effort was worth it. I hope he has many years of good service. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30DodgePanel Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Father and Son project? Now THAT is what the hobby is all about! We can only imagine the memories they both have now... Awesome job gentleman! I love everything about it, but especially the subtle touches (natural wheels, highlighted rim bolts, front lights, running board display etc..) Absolutely stunning! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattml430 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Grant just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words about his dodge. Grant and his family just love this old Ute, it’s been there for a long time. So it’s pretty special to finally have it on the road. He does browse through the forum but not registered to post anything. It did give us a bit of grief getting the timing right but Bob helped point us in the right direction to get it al right. Thanks Bob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
