Here's some pic's of my fomer RPU, I didn't build it but redid a lot of it, if you have any questions let me know !!
Sorry to hear about your leg. I am just about done chiseling out the rivets hoding that F-1 crossmember from the frame rails that I picked up from you last weekend. Meant to tell you I am pretty happy with that deal. How did you break your leg??? Did you get the 40 to the painter???
Thats got some kick *** lines but im studying the pitman arm thinking ???? i guess thats not finished yet eh ? Dave
No...the balling wire wasn't permanent. I make this arm a couple weeks ago from a m/c connecting rod, still need to find a donor arm for the splines to weld in.
nimrod = ruler. thats almost the exact vision i had for my 27 tub...but alas i got bit by the modified bug... freaking beautiful hot rod. i love it, love it, loooooovvvve it

Jim Rizzo had a series of articles in Rod and Custom, i think it was in 2003 and 04, about building this one. Sorry cant get the foto to work, but you can find it here: http://www.rodandcustommagazine.com/eventcoverage/135_0411_2004_americruise_show/photo_08.html Lars
