Features Roadster Pickup........picture thread

Nice one!

 

I hope I can sit that low in my Chevy.

 

I am so with you Dean on this. Cowl lights and big headlights too. Geez I detest them on hotrods

 

It's difference of opinion that makes drag races.

 

The bumper is fine. As I recall Dean, your roadster pickup had a front bumper and it looked really good !

 

Nope, never had a bumper. It's not that the car has a bumper, it's that it's one of those extruded aluminum things that just cheapens the look.

 

Briz bumper.
In all the years since Brislawn introduced them, in my opinion, I don't recall that they improved the look of very many cars.

 

It took me about a month after it was delivered, but today I drove it further than the previous once around the block so I guess I should add it to the thread even though the too long Brookville bed is still in the garage!
Oh, it does have a windshield! Just off for body work. I'm working on changing the wheels and tires to something I like better. No, I ain't gonna use the set of Boyds!! Anybody need some bling?!
Maybe these babies? Such a deal...
401 Buick has roller rockers and other goodies as well as a switch pitch turbo 400 transmission and the 9" rear.

I've gotta say many of those posted are beautiful and provide plenty of inspiration; which we all need! Thanks.

Cool Hot Rod!
This is an old hot rod...notice that the body is mounted back some to give room for the Cadillac engine w/o butchering the firewall and giving up foot room inside the cab. Just need a longer hood to fill the gap, and the front of the box shortened! Fenders , splash aprons and running boards remain unchanged.

 

goofy '31 Model A fenders. IMO

 

Every time Dave Diaz's pickup shows up here it makes me smile. It is one of the nicest roadster pickups ever. I used to see it a lot when I was young.

 

That RPU eventually became Greg Sharp's hot rod.

Quite a nice one.

 

In Japan

 

I like a lot of things about this car. Anybody have more pics?

 

I sure like how the body setback matched the frame & body lines.

 

. . . but not the louvers.

 

^^And it has roll up windows!!

 

That one does not have windows to my knowledge. Here is pic before it was painted green. This was a Kalamazoo a few years ago.

 

Oops!!
My bad. Sorry. I saw the reveal behind the door that looks like the Last Refuge cabs which have roll up windows but... I don't guess you have to use them. Maybe it is not a Last Refuge cab but sure looks others I've seen as well as mine.

This is mine and it does have roll up windows... I should have known better than to "assume!"
