Did you cover the upper a-frame holes??


 :lol: Yes....with flat gray vinyl!  Those fenders were glass and I hated the thought of making and smoothing some bubbles.....itchy crap. Sold the car in '89 to finish a '46 ragtop I had started.

I see that car had Holey fenders, Mustang 2?

did you RPU have a MII also, just with bubbles in the fenders?

you never see that truck anymore.. do you know where its at now?


Yep....MII. I'm a pretty religious guy, you know (holey)  :roll:  Not the greatest look, but they sure do ride nice. I actually sold just the body and fenders.  That entire chassis and drivetrain was the one I built the RPU on a couple years later after selling the '46. Used steel fenders on the RPU and made bubbles.  Last I heard (2001) it was in Salt Lake City, UT. It would be interesting to see it again.

Yea I really like that.

On a side note, I have never liked the look of a 32 windshield in an A but for some reason this one pulled it off.



I think its just the color of the car. Very Rocketeer helmet looking.

Aaron, for a motor you need to commission me to build you a 324 olds. Just started on one. . . . They're quite a nice motor now that I just started learning about them. Look good too.
The problem with having an artistic eye is that you always end up making more work for yourself. -Cleatus on the HAMB

I'm going to start making valve covers to make your 303 look like a center bolt SBC. The "Fauxmobutton"
