Chevrolet Rpu proj

Well, I have started on the chevy RPU project. I have made the door and back pieces with a bench vise, 4" grinder'cutter and a bead roller.

I need some feedback on my work so far. some pics of some roadsters similar to this would be nice as well. anything would be appreciated Thanks

Looks great so far. Are you going to curve the back wall or go straight across with it?

My plans are to go straight across, easier, quicker and all that. I plan on putting some kind of bead pattern, Possibly rounded squares across the back for strength first off but I want it to lookk good to.

Did Someone Say Homemade?

There is nothing I'd rather see than homemade. Looks like you got a good start on a RPU. Keep up the good work and post more pictures. Did I say I liked homemade.

Holy Cow!
That's cool- that's pretty much the same thing I'm building!
What year is your cowl?- looks like you had to do some pretty serious work to it.
I like where you are headed..

I gotta get some updates on mine put up on here, but you can see my build in this same section.

Keep cranking- maybe we can inspire each other!

Looks really good. Nice proportions and lines. You asked for similar roadsters, here are a few pictures of my Kid's '29. He started with a fordor sedan and changed his mind in midbuild. It is now a roadster pickup like yours.

He had it about done and tore it all apart to go another direction. Tonight he and I did more work on building his new frame, and it is coming along pretty well.

I want to see the new frame?

Hey, thanks everyone I am glad to hear you all like it. Today I am going to work on the floor and bracing. I'll get back to you....

off to a good start

Lookin good , Tip. Make it big enough to be comfortable, both front and back will sag in when both doors are open so design in some good cab to frame supports to keep this from happening. Another artrod in the makingLFE
