RPU update part 2

Today i mocked up the intake and carb setup to locate throttle linkage,pedal etc. I felt i had to take few photos and share them with you guys.

 

I just love that EM high rise.

I´m gonna paint the engine black. That old flatty has only 200 miles on it after complete rebuild.

 

On the inside i made the column drop and trans tunnel. The bed is already in paint shop and i think the body will end up there at the end of this week.

Absolutely awesome car.
These progress reports are my favorite part of the HAMB.

 

.....looking really good! And, yes, I love the high rise too. I made up my mind, today, that I'm gonna be on the look out for one at the swaps.....

Certainly keep us posted!

 

Looking goods Jaypee, are you going to have that done for Easter, love to see it. That hi-rise is the mutts.

 

That looks neat. I've got the same manifold hangin on the wall. It's one of my favorites.

 

I'll bet you worked your *** off fitting the windshield, those don't even come close to fitting. Most people think they won't fit. but most of us know they will . nice work.--TV

 

Jaypee,your Roadster Pick'em-Up looks fantastic !!! The manifold looks indeed very good and just the Eddie Meyer logo alone is so beautiful.Very cool stuff...
I also dig the Hallock-style windshiel a lot ! It totally works with the instrument panel and the center gauge.Very impressive work.Tasteful RPU !!!

 

Thanks a lot everybody for the kind words. And yes i will keep ya´ll posted.

Well you nailed it. I´m quite long legged person, so i wouldn´t drive 4 hours in a row.
But yeah there´s enough legroom to get along.

Well, i gave up the show. I´m still going there but without RPU. You have to come and check out our garage to see the RPU and our other projects.
Let me know if your interested.

I agree, the windshield fits quite well without any major modifications and the looks, oh the looks. I love it.

Looks great!! loving the build!!

 

that trans tunnel and floor is nice!!!

good job

 

Thanks for sharing, looking good as usually. The intake-carbs combo looks neat! You got good taste, man!

 

Thanks again for the support guys. I just brought the grille shell to the radiator shop, so they´ll start to make the new radiator. Have to say those guys are real experts, they made one radiator to me last year and it was perfect. I just gave them measurements and they fabbed the whole thing.
I´ll post some pics later when it´s done.

Very nice work. Keep it up.

 

A few pics of what happened during last week.

I prepared the frame for paint.

 

Painted it and already started to put things back together.

 

Few more detail shots:
Brake hose bracket.

 

Pedals.

 

In the same time, Timppa has painted the body and bed in primer. (Yeah i know,that light blue looks gay. But it´s not going to be the final colour.)
