If you pick up the March 2008 issue of Rod and Custom they have a good feature of building a RPU out of a 67-72 F150. Check it out. Also they have had several others in past issues.

I am sorry for the late post, I had to look for these pictures I hope they help someone.

Here's some good pic. of a slant chop. This type of chop has the advantage of not needing extra door and top materal. A straight chop requires material from 2 extra doors and extra drip molding. No narative with these pictures but a picture is worth a thousand words.

How many Vets do we have here? What branch and specialty? I would like to thank you all for your service. I failed to mention in my profile that I served in the Army for 22 years and worked for them another 26 years. Guess I am still Army all the way. I worked as a pilot. Mostly helicopter but...

That Fiat was a earth shaker 6840 cubic inches. I went on a west coast tour with Art Arfons (Green Monster)in the late 50's one of those engines made the earth shake.

Sorry for not getting back sooner. Life happens. I am from a little town named Chandlers Valley up in Warren county. I have several pictures of a two VW builds that I am doing along with the 41. The question about the old cars laying around. No most of them went to Calif. You see nice old...

Well here is my latest build. It will look mostly stock and low. Sorry I plan on making it shine. Going for the Homie Low rider Look. I have installed a M11 frontend with bags and the rear is a T-Bird with bags. I am working on eng/trans mnts. LS1 and 4L60E. Then I will finish boxing the...

Thanks for the kind words. I forgot to mention that I got my start in the mid 50's in Torrance Ca. and that I am from Pa. Will post some pic. in the build thread.

I am new to the site,but like what I see. I have even seen some paint and chrome without seeing someone post a rotten letter telling the offender to get off the site. It is nice to find a group of adults. I have been building cars for more years than I should admit. I am hooked on VW's and...

Those are some beautiful heads. Must be custom built, I have been around a long time they are a first for me.
