Projects RPU for free? What a deal!

cool stuff post some build photos

 

looks like your mate will be a hamber in no time.
good luck, thats a great start.

 

cool little truck

 

I'm just glad you guys got ahold of it before the junk man. Cool. Lippy

 

the potential this thing has. Theres so many of us that would give our left nut to get a score like this.

 

Cool Cool

 

Went out to look at my buddy's RPU again last night, I think he's ready to do something with it. (I told him to try and get it going for the Eagle Field meet in Oct. ) Anyway I took some better pix of the wheels so you guys can identify them. The car is not too bad, sure there is some rust but all in all not a bad start.

 

You are a true friend . Keep us posted.

 

Tim, That's awesome.. Got him convinced to put a Y-Block in it yet? I always love to see Model As and Y-Blocks.. Wheels look like they're off of a mid-30's model.. Are they 16"?

 

I think they are 16" and no to the Y-Block I think he wants to install "Gasp!!!" a SBC. Just because he has one. I would like to see a Flat V8 or even build the Banger, but alas it is his vehical. Another friend said Nailhead, I'd go for that.

 

They also look cool with a 392...

 

IHC? No way. (Just kidding, I assume you mean the other 392 )

here is the chassis all done and ready to go for guys

 

Very nice! I'll let him know.

 

Todd, the guy who owns the RPU, called today and told me he has a line on a 331 Hemi, I'm thinkin' that would be pretty cool!

 

That trumps all the free shit I have ever received...WOW! I am happy for you!

 

Update! My buddy got a little ambition and decided he wanted to drive his new toy to Eagle Field, so he pulled it out, got it running and gave it a new set of tires. i don't know where he is going from here but he didn't do too bad in a short time.

 

Holy crap....he already got it going? That's cool, man!

 

No more talk of the Hemi, although that would be cool I think he wants to build the Banger. I think it's time he came over to the HAMB.

 

Very cool. Another soul brought over to the dark side of traditional hot rods

 

Very cool little truck. Thats is what I said till I got tired of going slow in my A. Keep us posted.

 

Actually I've got a 59A freshly built that I'd like to see him use.

 

Damn I want some free stuff too.

 

You guys are doing an awesome job!

Great score... and will be a fun build.

Sam

 

Thanks! but I haven't done a thing, Todd has done it all himself. I'm so proud of him. "sniff with a tear"

 

Very Sweet ride!

 

Very sweet!

 

Awesome!

 

I always take free stuff. I wouldn't have turned it down. it looked like it had been sitting 50 years but it turned out good. very nice job so far.

 

That is looking good!
