Features Roadster Pickup........picture thread

Yep. But I thought it was frameless Larry...

 

Yeah, Larry has it. I'm kinda hot to trot for it, thought it should be included in this thread.

Yup, Frameless Larry it is. I'm curious as to when that might change. I'm patiently waiting

 

Here's my 29 mocked up.

 

It's listed in the classifieds if anyone is interested.

 

Looks cool, is there a pick up box for it? JW

 

Yes- I'm modifying it so it slides on over the top and is mounted with 4 bolts. So bed will be optional.

 

Work in progress.. Drove it so finding and working problems out now..

 

A couple pics of mine

 

Mine...

 

Here's my '29 RPU. Running a 302 and C4.

 

Nice like the chrome "Holey" rear arms.

 

Great personalized license plate.

 

Thanks loudbang! A little chrome goes a long way. BTW... the rear end is late 1950's Olds and someone chromed the whole thing way back when. Oh and I had fun with the DMV website coming up with a modern plate I could stand looking at.

 

How about a woody? My current work in progress. Tired of working on rusty metal and found some really nice reclaimed doug fir so....

 

Drove this one for 10 yrs as a chopped closed cab,got the bug one winter!

 

After my first test drive. JW

 

You need a taller windshield so that you can lose the goggles and possibly be able to run a top.

 

I'm still plugging away on mine. Got the drivetrain installed, had to build an alternator mount, now ready to build headers and do body work. Been screwing around with it since 2011, time to get this thing done.

Most of the aftermarket mounts put the alternator too high and too far out, so we made this one.

 

Still working on mine

 

One of the more famous roadster pickups.

 

Here is mine

 

Who can spot the cars' differences between the top and bottom photos?

 

The goofyass fake headers and air cleaner, or the way the old chrome suspension went to shit?

 

You beat me to it bowie.

 

Start of a future project?

 

I'll take whats in the box! Riley 4 port !!

 

I hope you do a build thread. I'd like to see that stuff go together.

 

If I do decide to build it. I'll do a build thread. It will probably be the longest build thread on the HAMB. I have A.D.D when it comes to cars.

 

I.ve had that Riley Head for years. I got it at an estate sale with a long block. I've been dreaming of a prewar build.
