Hot Rods some update progress pics of my roadster pickup !updated engine installed finally

spent yesterday working on my truck for a bit for my birthday figured i'd share a few updated pics on the asembly of my roadster pickup since it got painted and i have started reassembly !

 

Wow! Gorgeous! Happy belated B-Day, what an awesome present to yourself!

 

thank you hoping to get the engine and transmision set in it this weekend !

 

Looking great Brock! Only thing I'd change is the garage it resides in . . . and the radials.

 

Very Nice I really like that blue its killer!

 

Looking good - congratulations

 

thanks guys ! still alot of wet sanding and color buffing to do yet but at least it's starting to look like something again !

 

Great color combo, thats going to be one nice Hot Rod.

 

nice i like the engine , and the color blue looks great , good job

 

Looks cool, really like the color. Keep er goin. Gary

 

THOSE ARE our kinda COLORS.....even my wife agrees...she says it's CUTE!!

 

thanks for the compliments guys ! if all goes well the engine and******* will be set in tommorow and i'll get some better pics up !

 

Got the engine in !

 

cool!

 

damn that's nice

 

Brock, That is quite the change in the look of your RPU ! My wife was deeply impressed by the shade of blue you choose. Makes a real Hot looking Hot Rod !

 

thanks for all the compliments guys , it's been quite the project from actually finding the rpu and having fun w it for a year to deciding it needed some attention and ultimately deciding to completely redo it and make it mine ! so from the little 4 cylinder chevy 2 engine and trans to a ford v 8 and c 4 , redoing the scabbed in kickup on the frame , going to a 9 inch rearend and heavy 11 inch drums , and completely stripping the body for paint and body work !

 

engine and trans in finally !

 

Gorgeous!

 

looks amazing!

 

time to change your avatar!!

 

Blue is my favorite color and it just gets better from there.

The red, white, and blue lot great together.. Cool RPU..........

 

Looking Great ! I bet you can't wait to get it out on the road

 

yes its been off the road now for a couple years and i had hoped to have it finished this summer but things didn't work out ! but its close now and will deffinitely be ready for spring ! i'll have it at back to the 50s for certain

 

I like the car, but turn the skull around so he can see where he's going, not where he's been. Dean

 

got the new wood cut for the box structure and about ready to put the box back on , also got the cherry for the bed floor ready !

 

Lookin' real good.

 

So what color varnish are you going to use for the cherry wood a dark or light? Like the truck by the way.

 

i dont really have any idea ? i was going to talk to some woodworkers ! someone suggested just shooting it with an automotive clear as it tends to darken w age
