Hot Rods 29 rpu on the road

After almost 4 years, I finally got my 29 rpu on the road last week. Its my first hot rod build so Im not happy with a lot of things. The plan is to drive it the rest of the summer, then blow it apart to do the bodywork and paint. I have already started collecting parts for the next build, a 29 roadster that will be built as a 1940s style hot rod.

 

That looks great and a lot of summer fun. Love the 56 Olds speedo.

 

Thats kool now you can drive it and figure out the things that will get better.

 

Looks good to me

 

Good start. Good job on the dash.

 

Well life got in the way and I didn't get it painted this winter. I got a shorter rad made up so that I could lower my grill shell down because it was too high before, also got some wood in the box...originally I was just going to throw down some cheap plywood for the time being, but I got carried away and it turned out better than it was supposed to. I still need to build a cover for the crossmember, and a cover for the rear edge because I raised the floor up.



Took it for a drive today, below freezing temperatures and light snow isnt the greatest roadster weather but it was fun.


The plan is to put some more miles on it this summer, I will have a heated shop to work in next winter so hopefully I can blow it apart and paint it.

 

Coming along nice. Keep at it. The bed floor looks great!

 

You did just fine, enjoy your very own built hot rod this summer.
