Hot Rods ***32 RPU Build Thread - The 10 Year Plan***

I'm happy.

 

Neal,
I just came across this thread and all I can say is WOW! This is the reason I became a member of HAMB, your build gives me inspiration, guidance and hope for my build, THANKS.

 

Awesome Neal...

 

Great inspiration Neal!!

 

Neal, as I told you once, any man that can make a 32 grill shell out of old finders is a true craftsman. I think I said I need to shake your hand. Your work and dedication speaks wonders.--TV

 

The H.A.M.B. at it's best!

 

CONGRATS again on a job very well done. Gary

 

Your rpu is awesome! Great job, and who would have thought a pickup makes a great family rod too.

 

wow the Rpu is awesome , the engine looks like a work of art , a project to be proud of ,

 

WOW, congrats on building one of the coolest RPU's on the road! What a work of art!!! Well done.

Pete-

 

...You sir are truely an artist! I've always had a RPU on the top of my list of cars to build! This may be the most beautiful one to date...I can't wait to see this finished, and that rumble seat is the coolest thing I've ever seen on a RPU!

 

Just found this thread and it is so cool. Can't wait to see more.

 

Incredible work! I do remember seeing it and diggin' on it in R n C. Subscribed!

 

Thank you for this Neil, it is a gift!

 

Awesome thred !! Can't get enough of this rpu thx for sharing !

 

Awe inspiring. This place never fails to humble me. I can only dream one day I can be a tiny fraction as good as this. Amazing work; well done.

 

wow... ...great work..

 

Neal,
Great job on the build, enjoyed seeing it on our PRC RR, Glad to see it with Tim's Tub. Did you plan taking it down for color? You are keepin it 4 ever right???
Man, I don't know if I could take it down once it had been together. I hope that you get it back together soon, And I hope that you feel better soon.

 

Kevin...and others...thanks for the kind words. Yes, it was always planned to blow it apart for paint and upholstery. The bare metal was always a temporary thing in my mind. I need to get enthused about the project again...because right now I could never touch it again and it wouldn't bother me. It was easy to tear apart...just not so easy to get motivated to work on the pile of parts. Maybe after I get feeling better...

...and I never plan to sell it...just don't tell Larry that....

Neal

 

I've got a special subscription folder just for Neal threads, but it's nice having it all in one place. Can't wait to see that thing painted!

 

Verry Nice
I Like Kilroy and the back seat

 

This is my favorite HAMB build of all time. Inspiring to say the least.

 

amazing build to say the least. im probably gonna steal the idea for the back seat.

 

now that I see the build in full I am in awe of the quality of engineering and detail that went into this truck.

hope mine turns out half as nice.

 

Very nice, and beautifully built.

 

This truck is bitchin!

 

I was at home and under the weather. It was a great way to pass the time reading through this excellent thread. Great vision, execution, and documentation.

 

Inspiring. I'm also building a 32 RPU but mine will be a Brookville because I don't have you talent. My Pete and Jakes frame look pretty naked sitting in the garage without a body. I guess you must crawl before you can run. Great project and fantastic detail you've gone through. Can't wait to see it in paint.

Like I told the kid, "Your musics not too loud, its like OKC, it sucks!"

 

What a build! Attention to detail is amazing! Ingenuity is superb! Execution is perfect! I could keep going on! Love it! Beautiful RPU! (sorry for yelling....haha)
