    Thanks for all the positive comments, guys.

    Evel, Texas, I will be there, but I'm not sure about the car. I will hurry but "not" rush to get it done.
    Are you driving out there??? Need a co-pilot???

    Not Driving.. Dave and I are loading the trailer up and were off...
    I think Rudi is going to trailer his coupe up too...and maybe Scott...

    it will just be a convoy of trailerd hot rods...hahahaha just like the old guys..but
    I want to make it to TEXAS and LW is just not 100% yet to make it all the way.

    bring that fucker... you got time..

    BTW I was not tense driving the RPU ...I was just staying focused since it was the first
    time on the Fwy... and the longest drive its been on...it was fun tho :D

    We had a few guys over here, which had problems with that bumpsteer thing, maybe it has an other reason, I'll find out about that in person on my own project and will let You know.........but I think, looking at Your progress, You'll find it out earlier than I do and let me know.....:D

    VERY nice work, that You've done, I like it a lot......

    Hope, one day I can see it in person......

    I've been driving my friends 28 RPU thats got some Patina and a New Small block and
    i'll tell you its a blast not having to worry about chipping the paint or screwing up the caddy
    motor... I"M SOLD ON SBC!!!!!

    Your original idea for headlight stalks, were they fabricated by you or do you know a manufacturer/s who make tall stalks?
    Great, great looking build. Super craftmenship!
    Thanks

    Painting at 50-55 degrees while raining, is really hard. I don't have a climate controlled spray booth. It's much easier at 70º-75º.

    Little progress, not much.
    Flywheel and clutch installed, thanks Jimmy White for the help, making the flywheel, getting me all the clutch parts and for the phone support.
    Brake lines are all done too.
    Also I installed the engine and trans, plus the 6 rebuilt Stromberg 97's.
    It's starting to look like something.
