Projects Update - Making Progress on my '32 RPU!!!

The box is a Brookville. It is pretty much a Model A bed with sides that extend beyond the front panel & are cut to fit the back of the cab.

The panel is a Knecht piece. http://www.knechtequipment.com/

Gauges are Classic Instruments "All American Nickel" series with custom pointers.

The shift knob is RABID!!!

...but I've had my shots.

Thanks guys.

 

killer truck...and you will cuss the left side of the aircraft seat after you've rubbed your hamstring raw entering and exiting...ask me how I know

 

The truck looks great and sits right also,,,keep up the good work.

I think you have hit a HOME RUN with this one,,,, HRP

 

Yup, even cooler than your modified! I see you like the Model A brake pice turned spreader bar? That is one of two options for my Tudor.

 

WILL cuss it?!?!? Hell, I already am.

That spreader bar is a must on anything we build. My A RPU, Kennedy's Coupe, his dad's '32 Tudor, my '32 RPU.....

I appreciate the kind words guys. I'm getting excited about this one.

Looking great Jim.

 

nice

 

Cool, looking at yours makes me think I want to use this spreader instead of the stainless one I am making.

 

I like your RDPU. It definitely looks better than the one Ford designed. I had a chance to buy an original several years ago and decided that it was so ugly that I bought a '31 instead. In retrospect, because of their scarcity I should have bought it despite the way it looked.

Nice work, love the stance.

 

Closeup on your Spreader? I have pictures from a Tardell story on how he does his

 

For you Tman....

 

Dig the headlights.

 

I need some early Ford "cups" that will fit the headlight bar sockets so they will actually sit up straight.... but I can see enough to know that I LOVE them.

Thanks!

 

i might have a headlight bar you can cut up

 

I appreciate it Stu but I have a bar (Limeworks). I need the cups that rivet on to the headlight buckets.

A little looking tonight turned up this:

Thanks, Jim

 

Hey Jim nice ride. I need to get my A running. Too much motorcyle stuff.

 

It's about time! Looks good.

 

Hey Jim, Thanks for the link to the headlight hardware. I've got a couple of sets of really cool headlights that have the same problem your having...........won't adjust properly on a Ford headlight bar.

My bike had me distracted for a while. (I gave RT a chance on the Akront I got from you. They screwed it up.)

Thanks man!

I haven't ordered these parts yet but my old Guides fit my Model A bar perfectly. They should work.

JH

 

Hate to hear that about the rim. I have been thinking about putting my A up for sale???

 

You owe it to yourself to at least enjoy that thing for a few months before selling it. Get back after it.

You might change your mind.

Thanks harrison, decision is made, I welded in the spreader tonight. Camera issues, will get a thread going soon.

 

Glad it worked for you.

Post pics when you can. I want to see how it turned out.

Guess an update is in order.

Since the pics above, I've blocked the body & bed & worked around on some little stuff.

A link to the pics is here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2391540&id=9432140&l=e764ba2b73
