That yellow RPU is a buddy of mine's. His name is Ron Wiggins from Bloomington, IL.

The details on that truck will blow your mind! To bad he put that body on there to cover up that frame. Unbelievable work and it was all done in his little garage. He has his own bridgeport and made EVERYTHING on that truck himself then had it chromed. It started as a 2 door sedan that he drug out of a junkyard many years ago. He has been working on it for probably 10-15 years straight every night until midnight and all weekend long. That is no joke either. He was invited to the autorama and the thing wasn't even done. He had to hustle to get it there. If he is around talk to him and tell him Aaron from back in IL says "hi" he is a very cool guy. I'm glad he got it there.

cool pics thanks. now get to workin on something. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif.Danny

[DollaBill]

Cute purse.

Oh, and thanks for the pics...especially the Lil Coffin...that thing has been looking fairly goofy for several years...if this is a new one, at least its closer to the original...I have probably purchased 5 or 6 of the model of that...its one of my favorites.

Me, Brush and the Phillapino House-Boy ran into HighPitch Scott from Scott Hot Rods. He seems like a pretty nice guy. We were busting his chops about the HAMR's not liking his truck. (apparently he's never heard of the HAMB...Brush gave him the details).
Anyway, we spent quite a few minutes talking to him and the guy presents himself as a real pro. He gave us some details on how they film the RIDES program.
Whether you like it or not, the truck sure looks a hell of a lot better in red paint than flat black.
Even Brush, who is many-a-man's idol, had to agree.

I dig the taillights on the yellow rpu, thats trick.

[laverda]

Cool pics. Thanks ....

.. what are the wheels on the lil' coffin 2? Would they be Torq-Thrust D unpolished? other? and the rear tires?

Cheers.

Later,

thanks Bill. it took me a minute to figure out what the hell you were talking about.

we went to Outback on the way home and Kris went to the bathroom first thing. ofcourse the waitress comes up and there in front of me sits Kris purse. the waitress gave me the same compliment. Kris is pretty proud of that purse. she gets lots of compliments, even when SHE is carrying it http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif...

Lightened it up a bit to see some details. Looks kinda short like it was a Vicky?

[REBEL]

Lil Coffin ... I built that model kit and took it apart and rebuilt it so many times when I was a kid .... loved that car and the skeleton that went with it. I can't wait to see this one tomorrow. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

From what I gather, the guy who built this, took 10 inches out of the back of this car, maybe someone who spoke to him about this could elaborate.

[kustombuilder]

i've got more pics of that tub. i'll email em to you Sam and you can resize em and post em, i don't have time right now. i'll send you one of the cool chopped 4 door fleetline. it freakin ROCKED. made me want to do a four door. i like it better than a 2 door fleetline.

[RileyRacing]

I agree KB... that was a sweet ride. I gotta work on Brush to let me buy that one he was telling me about yesterday... HINT HINT. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Fat Hack]

Hey Kustombuilder...you got pics of that chopped 4dr Fleetline???

SOMEBODY post 'em, PLEASSSSSE??!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

That's the EXACT look I want for my two door...with the post left straight and about a 4-5 inch cut!

That car RULED!!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[kustombuilder]

i sent em to ButtReynolds, FatHack. hopefully he has time to resize and post em for us. thanks Sammy!!!

[Sam F.]

hey mike, they never showed up http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

[fab32]

The blue tub is the one I was talking about earlier. It started out as a 2dr. He shortened it 10 inches and leaned the back portion forward (like a vicky). It was an awesome car and the flatty power just made my day.
