So when you get to the shop each day do you just toss a bolt up and work on what ever it bounces off of? [cl

Looks great bob.[cl
Thinning them is a great idea as most "Coupesters" just have the window slot filled in if at all.

Got Coker 16's for the front and some truck tires from Discount Tire for the back. The body is on the frame for the final time. Got to bolt it down. Made a bracket and mounted the clutch slave cylinder.
Next it's brake lines fuel line and wire routing. I've got some new cloth covered wire that should look vintage on the RPU.

The roadster is looking good, Big & Little tires fit the look perfectly, very old school. Not a lot of free time when rebuilding the dragster, Modifying Bantum & building a hot rod. Your one lucky dude, the he-- with our medical problems.

Getting more parts installed for the final time. The front suspension is complete. Made a generator bracket and put some stuff on the firewall. Assembled the box and made the battery box (ammo box)deeper so it will hold a battery. I think this one is a keeper.

Well Bob, that hot rod is looking great. It reminds me of how much fun I had building my 28 A RPU. [cl[cl

I'm with you on this one, IT'S A KEEPER for sure

Glad to hear that she will be a true Rat Rod that mother nature has

Your fine design & construction are moving it into the "Improved Rat Rod" classification. Still as you said "Rusty but trusty".
