Hot Rods ***32 RPU - A Few Sunday Evening Pics - w/Rumble Seat***

Some of you may have been following along with the gremlins that have been plagueing my RPU since I got it running this last spring.

I put my old distributor back on Friday night...ran down to Pismo Saturday morning for the donut deal and been driving around here the rest of the weekend. I did order some .048 jets and put them in last night. They made a big help over the .051's I had...no more loading up around town.
Anyway I still have the fuel tank plumbed out of the drain...so at this point I am thinking there is some issue with the pick up tube in the tank. I have had lotsa theories so far...so I won't claim victory yet. But it sure is running good.

I went out for a few Sunday evening pics...

Great looking car. A bullseye.
Like the green engine & wheels

 

I LOVE that truck!!!

 

It just gets prettier every time you take a new picture. I think there are some new details...yes?

The fuel line in the drain caused me a few weeks of aggravation but I doubt that it would be a problem for you. Mine was customized by the PO.

 

Awesome, Neal!... add me to the list of people that love your Roadster Pickup.



Malcolm

 

man that is supreme...perfect at every angle.

 

Bee oooooooooo teeeeeeee full!

 

very nice

 

damn nice

 

Goddamn I love that truck. It has got to be one of my faves on the board. It really is just perfect.

 

The work you have done converting the truck from closed cab to roadster Pickup is amazing,,,

As Tommy said,, It does get prettier with every photo. HRP

 

That thing is sex on wheels! I love it!

 

Very cool

 

Neal, That RPU is spot on with stance and the parts you used in the build. You have scored with this one !

Donna said I could offer her '67 RS Camaro as partial trade.

hello...

 

I agree with Royalshifter. There are very few hot rods built that don't have a "bad side". Yours is one of the very few! Really looks great

Dan

 

great stance!! what heads are those?!

 

Wow!

 

Very nice truck and very nice pics!!! LOVE it.

 

Thanks for all of the positive feedback. I've been kinda down on it since it wouldn't run...

Well, there is the rumble seat...



And a few more pics from this afternoon...









Hopefully I'm over the hump with working out the bugs. I am looking forward to finishing up the loose ends, putting on some more miles and then tearing it down for paint, plating and upholstery.

Neal

 

wow, thats a great truck. love the stance and im looking forward to seeing how it looks after paint.

 

Neal,
You are so very talented! Those rear seats in the bed are unbelievable!

 

nice truck

 

Super truck. I love it. Hope to build one some day to go along with my sedan. Great, great looking ride.

Like I told the kid, "Your music's not too loud, it's just like OKC, it sucks!"

 

That's one of my all time favorite RPUs and it's really a truck, had a chance to check it out last summer. Great details and it's all about the details.

 

wow ! great idea on the rumble seat !outstanding truck , love the zephyr covers

 

You have done a great job you should be proud. Now have fun.


Bruce

 

I plan to. I just hope I am finally through the gremlins...now that winter is setting in.

Neal

 

I know...real hot rods don't have rumble seats...but since it's not a real roadster, I figured I could get away with it.
