I don't care how nice you make it, it'll never top that 32 Sedan you had. I get attached to things, and couldn't have ever sold that car, for any amount of money. Dean
Sometimes a car gets built & things look sooooo right.....looks like all your planning & hard work are paying off, well done nice job. Any thoughts on exhaust/headers yet?
HOLY **** YOU SICK ****IN *******!!!!!!!!!! Give us some specs on the internals and ****** (looks like a tremec) .PLease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanx .How sweet Is thAt? damnational . swaZZie
so much progress since i seen it last jim! still going to go for what you were talking about? can't wait for the next ranch run! jerry
That looks fun as hell, but, like your old truck, Im curious to how well one fits in there. I mean, Im only 5'8", so Id probably be ok, but I can imagine the hiarlarity of watching Roothawg (like 6'2" or so) try to squeeze in that thing. Am I wrong here, and there is more leg room than I realize? Or is it a tight squeeze? You do very nice work indeed Rouge, thanks for sharing!
That is one nice RPU Rogue. I am in the collecting parts stage for my RPU. I hope that mine turns out half as nice as yours. I love the close attention you have to the little details. To me that is what makes for a truly *****in car. I hope I can see that thing in person sometime and learn a few things. Where you at in San Diego? I would pay a twelve pack of beer admission to see that car up close. Keep us posted on the progress man. SLAMIT
nice job on the progress rouge. I cant wait to see (or probably hear) that thing tearing up the streets of So Cal!

[/ QUOTE ] Compared to what Rogue drove on the Ranch Run it's got arm chair size seating! Besides, Rogue's the only one who reall needs to fit in it....
Rogue, I'm not doggen on the roadster, I like it my only question is how are you going to run the tube axel with the hair pins. Unless I'm all wet they don't twist enough to run with HP's It's kinda an unwritten no no isn't it?--TV
Isn't anyone going to blast my arrs over my thoughts on the last post, I was only thinking out loud.--TV
Holy Ranch Run Batman...Coming along nicely! Show a pic of the stearing box mount. I thought it was rather tasty. FONZI
I hate to be critical of people projects, because I am far from a know it all, but I also thought that a tube axle was only supposed to be used with a 4 link. However, doesn't speedway sell the tube axle kits with the wishbones? How about a ch***is expert stepping up here? I think it looks awesome by the way.

[/ QUOTE ] It IS a Speedway tube axle and bones. The way it's put together the frame should lean with the front end and not the rear end....Rogue splained it to me cuz i asked him about it too...
[ QUOTE ] Thanks you guys. The pedels are swing willwood. 7/8 bore. I had to run through frame fitting under the car to make a clean transition. The throw out bearing is hydraulic, but i'm not happy with its design. I also have a slave cylinder that pulls but looks crude on the frame. So, I am now starring down the gun barell getting ready to modify my 300.00 hydraulic pos. Ain't this supposed to "slip together" . Think I got it all figured...... Heres a pic of the tff's...... [/ QUOTE ] Keep us posted on your hyd. clutch setup. I just bought the same pedal setup and a pull slave cylinder and was looking at the slave cylinder wondering how/where the frig am I going to mount that thing. Looks clumsy. I thought about a hydraulic throwout and asked on here about it but it just didn't sound like the way to go either and bleeding the throwout on my choice of motor/trans just looked like a nightmare. Post some pics of what you end up doing! Oh yeah and the rest of your ride looks awesome. fast too
