Dean,
Its been a lot of fun watching you solve problems the old fashioned way on your restoration. Good luck with the home projects, hopefully you will still check in from time to time and let us know how you are doing.

I have to admit that it makes me a little sad to see the book closed on the Hupmobile. I have also greatly enjoyed following along with the restoration.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to share the work with us; it has been inspirational for me as well.

Thanks again.

Dean,
All the best for your future projects. I'm sure you'll do very well at whatever you decide to do. Hopefully there will be time for another Hup amongst them. Your work has been enthralling to watch and I have enjoyed reading about the solutions you have found to the many problems along the way. One day we may get to the States and would love to meet you, your understanding wife, and the Hup.
Yours has been an inspirational restoration for me and I feel for many others, so we will still keep checking the forum; partly as a reference for what you have done, and partly to see what you are currently up to.
Again all the best
Alan

I have been trying to think of something profound to type but only come up with, I am happy for you that you have finished the project, but sad that we won't be reading your interesting restoration story and enjoying your photos any more on this project. Thanks. Good luck, and I hope to read more by you in the future.

Dean,

Beautfiul, beautiful car.

I have always through that the '29 -'32 Hupps were among the nicest "Art Deco" cars.

Check out the thead on the Tech Forum for brighter headlights, look for Ply 33's post.


You Californians have ALL the nice cars !

Too bad that cop didn't have anything better to do... although she raised a good point about making your Hupp visible to others !

Thanks for Sharing !

Thanks guys,

Kieser, I'm past the the stage of blueprints and plans. I already have approved permits for the two homes I intended on building. Had them for two years now, unfortunately homes are selling for less than the cost of materials. It wouldn't make much sense to build, but sadly, I pre-bought a lot of the materials.

Hope you make it out here some day Alan, look me up if you do.

MCHinson, thanks for your input, you're one of the good cops out there.

Frank, I checked out the headlight thread, good information there. I installed stock bulbs in the Hupp headlights because of the stock generator's output. I'm satisfied with the headlights, visibility is adequate. I might go for the aluminum coating on the reflectors some day. The rear tail light worries me more, but I fixed that with the tractor safety light. Hopefully the police leave me alone. Our small town cops have too much free time on their hands.

You're right about nice cars here in Calif. We also have nice weather, and beautiful scenery. I don't agree with the liberal politics. But three out four is pretty good. :-)

Beautiful car and nice work! I wish I had the time and money to undertake a project of the same caliber and pay that close attention to details as you did on yours. Keep up the good work and thanks for posting all the pictures!
