    Brilliant! Its very clean and functional with a traditional look. Who says you have to have a wagon to take the whole family hot rodding? Nicely done!

    Just an awesome job !!!! My 1st thought when reading the title was ...Oh no...some hillbilly's gonna drop a RPU body on on a 4-wheel drive chassis :eek: Thanks for rinsing that from my brain !!!!

    Met your father and brother on the run in Santa Cruz. Great, great people. Your dad is a smart man and very wise. My wife and I took a lot of what he said to heart. Tell them the knuckleheads from Winnemucca said hi!

    Your RPU is top shelf man!

    Yea...my dad said he and Paul sat with you and your wife at Clay's. He said good things about you too...and your roadster. I'm sorry I couldn't make it up there.

    Too bad that it’s languishing in pieces in some dark corner. :(

    Refer to my two posts above, unless I'm mistaken.
    So far Neal isn't saying anything.

    No progress on this project. It's in pieces and buried away in storage. I'm busy with other projects and lost interest in this one. Maybe I'll get it done for the 100th anniversary of the 32...haha.
