    Great work! I don't know how anybody that's into building couldn't appreciate such an accomplishment on some level. Thanks for sharing. Do you have anymore pic's you might be able to share of the building of the rpu? I am especially interested in seeing/hearing how you built the body of the rpu. Keep those posts coming.

    All I can say is WOW, what a great piece of workmanship and design. That every inch of it was well thought out and planned is very obvious.

    I can get along with the one off hand made out of a chunk of aluminum pieces that are carved out on the vehicle owners own equipment by him/her. To me that is a totally different thing than sending off your money to CNC Parts Are Us for a one of thousands made part of bling for your rig. Besides, when the car is finished you will have to lay on your belly or back to see the control arms so they aren't actually out there waving here I am.

    that said, a ride in that car should be one wild experience that should leave a guy speechless for a bit.

    Very neat hot rod. Wow. It really is amazing.
     
  15. WOW!! That kind of workmanship and creativity on a rod like that is better than porn.
    It's kind of a Cobraroadster-PU Way too cool.

    Just amazing. I hate guys like you with all the talent! When will it be all painted and on the road? Gary

    PS... oops. I just assumed you will paint it. Not? Already "done" then?

    I just love the simplicity of the 'bed'...i guess that is what they mean when they say 'thinking outside of the box'.
    When somebody can grab just the bare essentials they are truly gifted, congratulations.
     
  28. Wow, incredible workmanship, I am in awe.
