new 29A pickup

I bought a new 29 model A pickup. It is so cool. Powered by a 231 Buick v6, 350 trans, 8 inch rear. Its running a Heidts super ride front coil overs in the rear. Drives so great. The frame is all new rectangular tubing fabbed to Model specs. It was built about 3 years ago, a friend of mine built. He is very ill and had to sell it. I know its not a Deuce, but it is my next favorite Ford model year. I guess I Will do like NSRA did when they added the new years to their association.....they call it "NSRA Plus". I guess my new name will be "the deuceguy plus" or maybe it should be "the deuceguy minus" since the 29 is older than 32........get my strange humor?? It is still in the Ford family, the sickness of "Deuce Fever" has turned into "Ford Fever" Just thought I would share the new ride with you all.

RPU progress pictures

RPU update

Is been a while since I blogged on the RPU. I have been busy...making progress. Ben got the body all painted, did an outstanding job. I painted the frame and reassembled the running gear while he was finishing the body.All ot the chrome is back and the powder coated front axle and spindles are home now too. The motor is back in, brake lines back on, clutch hooked up, almost all wired, body is on. I mounted the electric fan and radiator this afternoon. I have about 2 weeks to get it all together and to the upholstery shop appointment. I have to make real progress each day or I will never make it.
