Obviously, I am going to like your new project, I love RPU's. Sounds like you have a good plan going and the plywood mocked up version looks about right. What I like about these is that there is a whole lot more room than the T's I am used to, both legwise and also in interior height and width.

You mention the one Dan built (thank you ) the first version he did was based on little more than you have there. He did cut down a 29 Murray Fordor, but only ended up using the cowl and two front doors and he fabricated the rest. That is the body I am using now on my new project.

I am anxious to see your progress updates, this will be a fun project to watch. BTW, if you need any ideas, I have some pictures from when he did his, and he has a ton of them I can get from him.
