    Heck Steve a neat little trailer to go with the cars and yes, maybe you should take time out to fit a drawbar, (tow hitch for our american friends) to Sue's RPU after all most of the luggage would be hers, ( and please don't tell her,I don't need her being upset with me) As you would know T Buckets have even smaller amount of luggage space and especially when it is two going on a rod run. Lamin8r on this site builds fibreglass bodies etc and I'm keen to buy one of his model A pickup beds for making a trailer to tow behind my bucket to be able to carry the neccessaries like the light refreshments and deck chairs etc..

    We used to have a Miss Whiplash in the UK, hope you didn't get your nickname for the same reasons

    We are about 12 hours ahead of England and 17 hours ahead of California.

    And ten years behind most of the world......

    Steve,that is absolutely beautiful workmanship..I love the detail in everything you have done on that chassis..Like that teardrop too,started designing one a few years back,but had to push it out of the way a few times now..Its just a bunch of bent tubes at the moment,but,I hope to get back to it again in the near future..Like everyone else,I am eagerly awaiting some more pix of that project.....Incidentally,I dont have pound sign on my keyboard,,I feel deprived...
    Keep up the fabulous work mate, thats awesome..


    Whiplash...your trailer is only a deposit away...

    For those who maybe didn't see it, I posted pictures of Steves other car a while back. He has a green flaked 32 roadster that is just as detailed as this one, and red rpu that is his Wife Sue's hot rod. She is every bit the rodder he is and when you hang out with the two of them she is just like one of the guys...........however, a lot better looking.

    Here are a couple of Steves other rides: (He has made a few errors though until he learned better, like putting the steering wheel on the wrong side)

    Heck Steve ,you must of purchased all the metalflake in the whole of England. And the green flake upholstery is just magic. I'm starting to think that you may have a fetish for flakey things. I do admire Sue's '29 RPU and a draw bar wouldn't look out of place on it for pulling all her luggage.. I do like the solid red colour too and where did you find that heater??? I drove an MGB roadster for a while and with the roof and side windows down and the heater on full it was very warm even on the worst winters day.

    I have all colours in stock Whippy as i sell flake through the shop, yeah i used a fair bit on the roadster, its called Forest Lime. Its really difficult to photograph as it don't show up but shows better in video, heres a clip of it in full sun.






    Sue's car is Porsche India Red (clear over base) its a shade variant of Guards Red.
    I got the heater from U.S. ebay, havn't a clue what make as it came without tags, I have a collection of vintage heaters and probably have around 30 nowadays, Sue's heater is the only one of that type i've ever seen, it has a diecast body and i just polished it, she keeps it polished well as the shine can dull quite quickly.
    My roadster has an Arvin i restored but i also installed a set of heated seat pads from a BMW in mine, It gets pretty nippy in england and i like to use my car as much as possible. Heres an early build shot of the heater

    Had a few hours spare today so decided to drill and detail my F100 front drum backplates, Not sure whether to chrome them or paint them in flake at the moment.
