Hey Steve, thanks for posting and welcome to the forum. As you can tell by our reactions, your workmanship has us in awe. You and I have BS'd a bit over on the HAMB via PM's, and I always liked your previous cars, but this one really jumps out. I bet when you take it to a cruise or show people will be standing around it for a long time finding new details.
Take care Steve, and don't be a stranger around here. You would fit in very well.
Don
What time is it in England? Didn't expect you to be around at this hour. :LOL::LOL:
Steve, please post up some pictures of your other cars. Like most forums, we LOVE pictures, especially nice cars like you build. Unless we underestimate the amount of hot rod parts available overseas, it has to be tough to collect all of the parts you need to do these. I live in Florida and have trouble sometimes! :LOL:
Don
Its 11.30 Don, having a laptop in my workshop helps :LOL:
I will post some pics later, getting parts used to be difficult but the WWW has helped big time, I'm a Speedway dealer in the U.K. and deal with most of the major U.S. suppliers who are all great.
I have a great deal with a air freight firm here and get most parts in 2-3 days
Steve.
Welcome and truely marvelous work Steve. Cheers!
Hi Bob thanks for the positives.
Here are some pics, I take it its ok to post them here ???
Firstly my T Bucket, I built this in 1999 as an exercise as someone said to me that you couldn't build a nice rod under £7,000 so i built this for £5,000, It wasn't easy but buying the right parts got me there. I really love this little car and it has seen some serioius abuse over the years, it runs regular 12.6 on the quarter and also won a slalom competition last year so it handles as well.

And to think you only started doing this stuff 6 months ago! :rolleyes::LOL:
Really pretty stuff Steve. I love your Mrs. RPU. At first I thought she was just a passenger, then I remembered you guys drive on the wrong side of the road. :D
I've saved this picture of your T for a while. You guys over there sure aren't afraid to take em out and beat on them, are you? :D
Don
To be honest Don my favourite pic of Sue's car is this one below, It was her idea to fit the Radir wheels which i personally don't like on the car, When i built it it was intended to look like an old Rod redone.
