My build 29 rpu

Here's my ride 305sbc,th350, got more to due to get it on the road. It's fiberglass bodied, frame is Z'ed. Had a T bucket but needed doors, at 55 getting to old to crawl over the side.

Lookin' good!!!

Geech,
Love u're ride... looks really good!!! I know the feelin about crawlin' over but I put a sideboad step on my car & that makes it a lot easier! It's hell gettin' old! I fu have pictures of the build... these dogs would love to see 'um!!!

Simple and clean...
Not to mention KEWEL.

Nice rpu Geech. What all do you need to do to get her on the road besides lights and such?

very cool, looks like a fun ride

I need wiring,brake & fuel lines, and just a few little things. But mainly just time to work on it. I'm learning as I go. It will be built to drive, nothing fancy hopefully dependable I really like the friendliness of this sight, I appreciate all the kind words.

I'm 62 and haven't owned a car with doors yet. You are just a pup. Sharp looking little RPU there, it will make you a really nice road car.


I agree, post more pictures of it going together..........we luv pictures.

I love RPU's and yours looks the coolest. If I had more hair, I'd build one too. Alas, I'm relegated to coupes.

I like it.

Whats an RPU ?

(Flatbroke, tell me again that the only stupid question is the one I didnt ask, then tell me about the rabbits, George.)

My 29 roadster pick up is fiberglass and is extended 9 inches, plenty of leg room, quite a difference from my t-bucket.

Thanks for the kind words, I'll try and get some of my pics added as I learn how to get more comfortable with this site. It's being built on a budget and built to drive so progress is kinda slow right now.

Maddog,

Roadster Pick Up

More Pics

Here is my seat from an Explorer sitting in there to see how it kinda fits, one shot of me and my co-pilot making sure he can see over the dash, and one shot of the seat after I modified it to fit. I had to trim the sides to cut down on the fullness and trimmed the top off some to shorten the height. I kept all the original springs intact, to be kind on my bottom and back. More pics to follow as I can.

Geech,
Progress looks good.

Keep the pics commin when you get time. First things first, Keep that little guy smilin...
