    Building a 1928 Hupmobile

     



    Im 32, and as of last year my father passed down a nice heirloom which is a 28 model A 4door Huppmobile, which hasnt ran in 30 years, also this car was originally my great-grandfathers.

    I worked as motorcycle mechanic for a few years and have built heavy equipment (utility trucks) for years. I started on the Hup about two months ago with the intention of restoring her, but after finding that the engine block was cracked, I decided to build a car that I could really enjoy. Ive been into bikes since 2001, when I purchased my first street bike, a 2001 HD Roadking, and since that time Ive logged 70 thousand miles and 27 states, but Im burned out, and Ive decided to build the Hupp, because I have a passion for curved lines and bling, and because this car is both unique in that Its been in the same family since it was new, and also that a Hupp is a rare car. To date Ive stripped her down to the frame and have been working on a Mustang II front end to replace the cable brake, straight axle set up. The Mustang II front end had to be widened 3 3/4 inch to work and its nearing completion. Next step is to shorten a ford 9-inch with disk brakes, that I bought at a pull-it yourself salvage yard. I look forward to the forum and the information here.
