Projects RPU for free? What a deal!

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by mctim64, May 19, 2010.

  1. A buddy of mine had this car given to him and thought it wasn't worth doing anything with, now before you guys start saying "send it to me" I told him I'd give him a hand and he agreed to give it a chance.

    We ar going to start by getting it rolling with the "Banger" and see where it goes from there. Yes the thing is complete with engine and drive train.

    You are a good friend. I would have just said "I'll take it." I wouldn't have tried to talk him into "giving it a chance".

    At least one of you is smart. You are, as others have said, a good friend
     
  12. We sold a running RPU with cheap paint on it to some MN HAMBer a few years back for 6K. Hope that sinks in to your pal!

    I guess it pays to eat your vegetables and keep your room clean.
    I need a good friend to tell me NOT to get more stuff.
    Hard to p*** that one though.
     
  16. Well that's pretty damned cool.

    If you were a 'good' friend it would have a Y-block installed by the end of the weekend.

    I think that the front wheel in the picture is a bent spoke Kelsey Hayes rim. If you got four of them you are looking at some decent money right there.

    Nice loking roadster.

  25. Are you pulling our leg or does your buddy not mess with cars (and also maybe live under a rock)? One man's junk....
