    thanks,

    i built the frame outta 188 walled 2x3... made it close to an A frame with some perks...

    Z'd about 9-12 in the rear...

    40 ford split bone, juice brakes, lowering crossmember, original A axle drilled, and suicided to show it off a little...

    mustang 3 row, and A shell, the rest you can pretty much see :)

    Ah shoot. I guess I won't be going with blue on mine now. Can't have two looking that much alike.

    Looks great! What radiator are you running? I am running the same kind of cut down shell.

    Also, what did you use to build the main body? Any pics of the body build? I have a ton of questions for you.
     
  23. Looks great! Roadster pickups are a blast and convenient for beer hauling. :D

    Here's the Lindertech company roadster truck.

  28. Looks like you've changed your ways, twice! :D

    I really dig that RPU...from the pics it looks like a quality build. I'm looking for a coupe, but this truck has me thinking twice.
