RPU finally pushed out in the sunshine (pictures)

very nice indeed,another vote to can the scoop.............dave

 

Great look, drive it and paint when you know what color is right.

 

Nice!

 

A perfect street rod with all the nice wanted extras and the power plant is so badass,different and shows great taste.

 

Very coooooool.

Remove the air cleaner, take a big shit in it.

Colors? I like subtle, dull grey, tan, etc.

Rich

 

perfect...... minus the air cleaner.

 

Nice ....look good....
I am also running a t-5, best thing I have done.....

 

Find a "Cross Ram" and put 2 scoops on it side by side. Looks nuts + fills the top of the engine area.

 

Dude its cool! Nice work. As for color, I thought its done

I like the scoop, but just because everyone else hates it! But thats the way I've always been, I like stuff the masses hate, guess its my early childhood punkrock/ hotrod raising thats still in me

Super nice ride, my next build is going to be a truck.
Thanks for posting the pictures,
Dave

 

looks very unsafe, you need to send it to me and I will make sure no one gets hurt


I really like the stance and the rear nerf bar is great looking....all in all, very sweet looking car

 

Looks great, nice stance!

 

makes a pretty cool wallpaper...

can't wait to get rolling on mine!

 

Just drooling on it again.
Whatta boss truck.

 

Glad to see one done right with a floor in it. looks good.

 

I think the '28-'29 A rad surround would look better than the sectioned '32.

That'll be $0.02 USD...

Nice truck..not a fan of the scoop. Though I must say it looks better with the lady pilot

 

Consider a deep (dark) Burgundy w/black and chrome accents. I just know you'll like it once you think about it.

One of those swoopy two hole scoops would look pretty bitchin. I think Don Prudhomme had one on his 63 dragger

 

Very Kool!

 

What I don't like is that it's about done - I'm not.

Build a dropped base plate and top plate for one of those long 2x4's filters like FE motors had - It'll cover most of the carb and compliment the low look of the whole car. Just one man's opinion.

Bitchin' build.

 

Have you had a chance to try out the coker radials yet? I am seriously considering as set and have this bookmarked, sorry if you have other posts.

 

Have not had it on the road yet, it's currently all apart for paint and powder coat. I'm eager to see how these tires work also. They look well made but they are HEAVY almost like a HD truck tire.

 

Lose the scoop, ASAP! Hood top and get the radiator shell a tich lower than the cowl. Gloss black, Washington Blue, maroon or dark green. Keep the Duece shell but lower it or section it an inch or so, to get it just a tich lower than the cowl. Great looking RPU. Now, if your wife will let you drive it sometime, it'll be perfect!

 

That is an absolutely cool looking ride !!!! The only thing I see is that the scoop does not go with your theme or the car

 

Oh so nice....(I do not like the scoop either)! BUT it is your car. Nice paint is a must on one so well done...regardless of color, go shinny. Rick.

 

very cool. you said, "31 model a" but looks like a 28/29 to me.

 

The headlights are 31 model A, the body is 29

 

sweet.

 

Even the dog looks happy! Nice job!
