So Don, what part of the country did you haul the RPU to, and find the Vicky? Steel or glass?

Had lead , paint and machine oil in my system since I was big enuf for pops to take me to his shop when I was a kid.
Guess I never grew up--
AND HOPE I DON'T

AMEN to that..Us guys whose fathers were in the auto trade,never stood a chance.......kool eh..

Rog, Took the RPU to northern arkansas, foud the vicky in Ar also.
It's glass, but an early Downs body (mfg'ed when Jim was still alive),
but the body had been sitten around for many years b4 the build.
Even has OG hinges and OG Vicky tilt forward seats.
Sounds like a steel car when ya SLAM the doors!
1 bitchen car 4 sure,
Got the wheels and grille bars painted today.
Off tomorrow to pickup anutter "find"
Then wednesday, new rear tires and shove the headlights down on the frame rails.

Well here it is back together and with 300 more miles on it.
This thing is a BLAST to drive.
Took to a little show yesterday and came home with 3 trophies.

Really cool find! I love the Salt Flats on it as much as the flathead.

Nice looking Rod!!!

Very nice Vicky. Love the paintjob and the Salt Flats insignia. Those flat head engines just look kool. Nice find. I'm sure it will be turning heads wherever you go!
