**Lee_ATx** · 07-06-2008, 10:11 PM

DRuss32, that tech link is now on my favorites list. It's exactly what I had been kicking around to clean up the discs on my RPU. Damn this place is great!

skyrodder · 07-06-2008, 10:13 PM

Thats a purdy frame...

Dreddybear · 07-06-2008, 10:19 PM

Love the Color. Very Clean! What color are you painting the body?

The body still looks like it does in my avatar and other recent threads. My plan is to bolt the body onto the frame and then fill the roof, final fit the doors, and weld in the gas filler neck and the 33 pick-up cowl vent. I'll also take some profile pics and post them at that point. I want to get some feedback on whether I should chop it a bit more or not. I've already chopped it 2-1/4 inches.

Thanks, the body will be the same blue as the frame.

29paul · 07-06-2008, 10:40 PM

Is that a battery box on frame? If so could you make me one and come put it on.

lockwoodkustoms · 07-06-2008, 10:58 PM

What motor you running ?

Yes and yes. Give me a call to figure out a good time that'll work for both of us. I don't think this month will work for me.

Just a simple 283 with tri-power for now.

**HotRod_Joe** · 07-07-2008, 03:08 PM

Wow! Fantastic work, I really like the color. It's different, but not too crazy. That disk brake cover is pretty cool as well. It hides things just enough to where it's clean, but you're not trying to decieve anyone. That's great! I can't wait to see the completed project. Keep up the great work!

There's a lot left to do, but since I'm finally able to roll it out of the garage again, I thought I'd take a few pics. Enjoy. __________________ Dave Last edited by D-Russ; 08-23-2012 at 09:36 PM.
