    These pics are a few months old, but this is the progress I've made on my RPU. Let me know what you think, and enjoy.

    haha, the front tires are mostly flat, and the body isn't mounted just yet. I just tacked it on there because I was excited to roll it out and have a first look. It will go up a few inches from these photos.

    These are just very rough mock up pictures. I had to get it into a rough roller because a week after these were taken I had to move and wanted it to be a little easier to maneuver. Complete suspension and body are gonna be happening here in a short time. I think it will be drivable when finished. And I like your little roadster pickup in the avatar Troyz.
     
  7. Alright. I'll cut you some slack. It is miserable hitting things when they are low. Mine is low enough and I hit driveways all the time. In fact, Mine is up on jack stands right now due to hitting the pan and putting a crack near the drain plug. Not fun.

    No, that is not fun at all. Especially here in Grand Rapids. There are some pretty nasty driveway entrances and the roads are even worse. I'm defiantly gonna get it up off the ground. No death wishes here.

    Troyz-I was looking through your album, I think there might be a few things in there I might be able to use.
    Hellsgaterods-They aren't very far off from the ones in Indiana, I think it's this whole region with generally crappy roads.
