Projects Progress on my '32 RPU & Poteet's 3wd

Two weeks ago Kennedy started by welding nuts in my frame rails, boxing the rails, & installing front, center, & rear crossmembers. Last Thursday I made the trip to west TN so we could try to get it rolling. Two days of steady work made a lot of progress.

Kennedy's dad made good progress on George Poteet's '36 3wd chop while we worked on my RPU.

It was a very good weekend @ Kennedy's Hot Rod Shop.

Poteet's '36...

 

Where are they !!!!!!!!!!!

Great progress, gonna look killer once it done too!

Nick.

 

Jim,,is that one of the Brookville extended cab roadster pickups? HRP

 

That's it. It has the same ****pit dimensions as a roadster car.

JH

 

Gonna use a pickup style bed? HRP

 

Yeah, gotta get it ordered ASAP. Brookville offers one that is made for this cab. It looks like a Model A bed but is a touch larger.

 

it looks REALLY GOOOOD great progress!! i like those RP's.
i am undecided on your front spreader bar though, kinda looks like it was stuck & someone hooked a chain on the front bar & pulled. --- maybe chromed would be good?!

the 36 looks 'just right too' i dig those bones!

 

lookin good, still got the 32 sedan too?

 

Everthing we build gets one of those spreader bars.

I traded the Fordor body for this cab, a bed, a pair of bomber seats, & all my windshield parts.

frist time I've seen the 32 looks good, I guess the nova took a back seat? called today to see if you wanted to come and get some of your parts. got my 32 back together the other day ready to get it out and drive

 

Looking good Jim. Be sure to keep the progess pictures coming.

Frank

 

Looking killer. Can't wait to see it all finished. Where are you mounting the gas tank?

Like I told the kid, "Your music's not too loud, it just ****s and so does OKC!"

 

The tank will be under the bed, behind the rear axle, & hidden.

JH

 

Are you planing to use a p***anger car tank like I did? HRP

 

Danny,

I have one of CraftyB's fuel caps for it that will mount in the bed & connect to a fabricated fuel tank below. No stock tank for me. I bought the recess for this fuel lid but don't think I'm going to use it. I think I'm going to run the cap alone.

 

Nice touch on the bones. I was looking at the 32 Trepanier built last night and mulling over the same treatment on that one.

 

Glad we got it rolling. Can't wait to see this one done and going down the road. It's going to be killer!

 

NNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCEEEEEEE - It sure has the look man!

 

Jim,
Looks really good! The stance is awesome. Man those stretched cabs look factory eh.
Whats the trans yer using?

-Shiny

 

The trans is an IROC T-5.

Thanks, JH

 

Lookin killer Jim, can't wait to see it with the bed on it!

 

nice.

 

Cool, you're going to have a great little hot rod there!
Looks really good.

 

Jim, if ya need anything and I can help, just holler... Way cool project, just percolating right along.

Kirby, you and your pop rule. Good seeing y'all at Stone's River swap

 

Good to see you too!
