'46 RBPU w/Linc V12 flattie!!! ; - >

[Tripper]

I've always wanted a RBPU (Roadster Bobber Pick Up) with Lincoln V12 flattie power & now I've got the parts. I've had this '46 Dodge pu for a while (I love the grill on these) but just got the V12 flattie this weekend & I'll be startin' this build very soon. Gonna cut the top off the cab & build a bobber style frame. Should be a kool cruiser!!!

You gotta finish the truck you already got started on.

Flatster,
I'm workin' on both! Fixin' to install the brake lines on the '41 Ford PU but here's what I was up to on the Lincoln V12 Flattie RPU today. For Father's day I cut the top off & gettin' ready to trim it all up. Can't decide if I wanna weld the doors up or not!

How low is it gonna be Bob? Unless it's pretty low, you might consider leaving at least one functioning door on it of some sort.

I may have to pull a section & it's gonna b looooow!

[Tripper]

I've always wanted to section something but haven't gotten up the nerve to section a whole car but thought it shouldn't be too hard on a PU cab. I photoshopped this 4" section & I really want to weld the doors shut & just jump in!

Keep the doors operable... Lose the vent windows and all door glass... Cut away some more of the vertical up-right posts on the doors, then weld in a cap on top of the door, match cap to rear surround panel... You have plenty of door/side height to channel it over the frame...
