hen it comes to building cool vehicles, Terron “TC” Carver from Clermont, Georgia, the owner of TC’s Place, is no stranger. TC has had his hands in a ton of over-the-top vehicles for the past several decades. He started building hot rods and custom trucks around 1990. Before that, he was a fabricator for the Bill Elliott NASCAR Race Team. So, making metal into rolling art that can perform as well as it looks is second nature to him. With multiple builds under his belt for not only himself but also customers, TC knew his latest project would have to be something he could enjoy for years to come while having enough detail in it to stand out in a sea of custom trucks. For this, TC picked up a 1956 Ford F-100 that had seen better days and needed a ton of TLC. This truck was started as a budget build, but still had to be something with a “wow” factor, so plans had to be set from early in the project.








Inside is where this truck stands out from all others in the show field. TC opted to do a full sheetmetal interior. Not just some bolted-in filler panels but full-out, welded-in and bodyworked panels on the floor, headliner, and behind the seat. The entire interior was painted a satin tan color to give it a good contrast to the gray exterior while the factory seat was sent to Danny Reese Interiors in Cleveland, Georgia, to get recovered in a buckskin color leather.
Once TC finished the truck, it became a regular vehicle in his driver rotation and has been to numerous shows in the southeast, including Turkey Run Daytona and F-100 Super Nationals in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Building a cool truck you can actually enjoy is what it’s all about and TC can be seen behind the wheel of this clean 1956 Ford on a regular basis.
