My 29 Ford Roadster Pickup Pics

[curbspeed]

Finally got my 29 Rpu on duece rails running and it made it's debut appearance at the HOTROD-A-RAMA. Had to bring it in on a ramp truck but with the help of Marty Lackner of NW Speed Equipment we got it going and I was able to drive it around.Had one really embarrassing moment when I gunned it in front of the beer garden and a freeze plug in the head shot out and I soaked the crowd. Thankfully the coolant was not hot yet. I got 13 miles on it and a whole punchlist of things to address. Was hoping to drive it to B-Ville but that will have to be next year. I will be heading down with a couple of other guys anyways. Here are a few pics.

Great to see it "finished".

I've been watching all your build up threads and seen pics of it @ hotrodarama, and just love your work.

I had a roadster p/up, and used to look @ yours for inspiration.

Good one http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Dale I love that truck sorry i couldnt make it this year steve called and rubbed it in how great it was

[Paul]

what's the story on the horn button?

[curbspeed]

Thanks for the response. I still have some paint touch up and a drivers door to repair.I had a lot of help to get it to the show. I'll hook up with you soon enough Johnny, maybe at BP. Three and a half years of hard work and more money than I figured but it's gettin' close. Will hit the punchlist after B-Ville. Dale

That Kicks MAJOR ass!

Paul, That is an old gambling coin that my dad found out at the Starlight Swap. It fit like it was meant to be. I just JB'ed that sucker on there. Sorry I didn't catch up with you at the show. We should get together in a couple of weeks and I will come and see your stuff.

Lots of cool details on that RPU. Nice work!

Is it a stick or hydro? I really wanted to run a 324 in mine but had only had them with hyros and I wanted a stick until I seen what a bizarre set up Olds used. Well a flatty came along meantime so maybe the next rod will be an Olds. By the way, nice job, I hope mine turns out half that good.

[delaware george]

that's really nice,i like how the look is real simplistic even though there are some very complex details....looks very thought out.

[LeadSledMerc]

BEAUTIFUL JOB all the way through.
It looks like now it's time to enjoy all the hard work you put in. Congrats!

[Petejoe]

Beautiful work. Very creative! Great stance too!

[MrGasser]

Well, that's only the SECOND pair of Gotha Olds valve covers I've ever seen!

Very Nice!!!!

[Macronan]

Great Work! Very subtle.

[Kevin Lee]

How did you run the exhaust through the frame like that? Does it float inside the tube? Does it rattle? Nice truck.

[the-rodster]

Super details on that truck!!

[Rocket88]

Man it sure has come along way from the last time I saw it!
It looks great Dale, the stance is killer.
I'm glad my parts went to a worthy cause. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
