Hot Rods Pecks RPU project

Ran when parked ?

 

Looks like a '61 4 door hardtop! Also, great candidate for repair.

 

Look at that AC compressor, have not seen one of those in years and it looks complete.

 

It’s out and home.

 

Four door hardtop, factory air and a three speed. The three speed seems like an odd combination.

 

Exactly

 

I like that you kept all the crap on the motor and shoved it in there. Something I would do.

 

I Scored these reproduction model A bed chains and stuff from FREDERICKSBURG TX SWAP MEET. And hood shelf wood, although I’m not running fenders, I am planning on running a full hood & shelfs.

 

Yesterday I scored this windshield frame and 39 Ford banjo wheel.

 

Have you got someone local to do the rebuild .
The is a good shop in Ennis run by Jimmy Allard , east of Hwy 45 on 1191 he is on Facebook.

 

I’m pretty sure Jimmy Allard doesn’t rebuild motors anymore, his descendants don’t do the quality that he once did. In the 80s and early 90s when he was in charge, he was the Best in Texas.

 

Yeah I got the run around at Allards 6 or 7 years ago on my 327. After several months of bs I had to go get my shit back, on top of that they lost my stock cam and 11.1 pistons.

I have know them since his dad was alive and the shop was on Ewing St. In Dallas in the 50's .Have not been in touch with for over 10 years did not know it had changed that much. Sorry for the bad lead. Frank

 

So I get this windshield frame earlier this week and CHOPPED it this morning.

 

If you lean it back don't go to far because it changes the frame to cowel line a bunch. It will touch the dash rail in the center and stick out on the right and left corners. The more you tilt it he more it stands out. I like where you are going. Frank

 

Whacked another inch out of windshield and stanchions today. It’s at 3” chop now, will probably lean back now.

 

Also ordered new subrails and cross sections this morning.

 

Leaned stanchions back a little today.

 

Scored a S&W speedometer today.

 

^^ I really like that gauge panel, that’s a cool piece. Do you know any history on it or if there’s more than one?

 

That panel is pretty bad ass.

I am glad you payed the windshield back usually one or two hacksaw cuts thru the back and sides are enough to get rid of that look of a pole sticking straight up. It just makes it look faster sitting still.Also curious about the dash panel. Looking good .

 

Brookville Roadster subrails.

 

You always need a good foundation. That a nice part

 

Subrails are finished and primed.

 

Did some test painting Sunday on under seat panel, CLARET WINE SATIN, also pieced together a more fitting gage cluster.
