    I've searched through the rpu thread, but can't seem to find any more info on this RPU. Anyone know who built it? Anyone have more photos of it?


    I love this truck and it's inspiring my build.

    the hotrod meltdown is a UK site, and the license plate is a Uk stateside style one. Some of the other UK members might recongize the car.

    Note to tattoo-bedecked, parasol-toting orcabetties: this is what a pinup should look like.

    Sorry, I don't know anything about
    the truck, but that chick looks quite
    'HAMB-friendly' and those nylons
    she's wearing certainly are 'traditional'!! :D

    back out of the gutter now and
    placing it firmly back on the curb
    where it normally resides!:D)

    aside from the pickup - Dago Red is absolutely correct - you two-ton fatties with murals for arms and necks...give it up and cover up....it's WAY overdone. Take a look at the gal on the hot rod under discussion. That's a hottie in the tradition thereof. For a traditional forum, there are some very silly people participating that don't seem to have a handle on traditional anything...this is supposed to be about cars from a certain period in hot rod history - you cannot invent an alternative history for the same time frame....not without a DeLorean and a flux capacitor anyway.
