'29 Chevy RPU from junk

[animal]

It's good to see you back at it! That's going to be a cool rpu.

Good to see you back at it, we need more pictures, No Pressure

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.

I want to see how this thinning is accomplished, as there may be a 38 Ford RPU in my future.

Pretty much done with the doors. No pics yet. I forgot. Today I put a new clutch on the slant 6 and installed the 4 speed. Put the whole works in the chassis for the final time, unless...

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.

Good progress!
Keeping the door thinning process to yourself.[ddd [ddd

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.

 

[bob w]

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.

Get'n that body mounted rocks! Nice touch with the ammo box. [cl

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

Are you going to leave it natural ( I hope ) or coat it??? [P

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

Looking real good Bob, where did you get the shocks, and what's the dimensions?

 

[bob w]

Yes Tom, This is a real rat rod. Rusty but trusty. I added this gauge. Anyone know what it is for?

Stove gauge. Most likely off the oven door or to set temps.

I knew one of my more rural brothers would get it.

BTW, Tom is old28 here on UDS.

Glad to hear that she will be a true Rat Rod that mother nature has
coated.[cl

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

I axe split many a cord of wood to feed the wood stoves in my time.
The RPU is looking fine.
