ima newb from gilroy california, in the middle of two rebuilds,

a '67 mustang, and a 1950 plymouth deluxe four,
on the plymouth i overhauled and hopped up the original flathead straight six, and am trying to stay semi "era correct" with dual carbs and offy intake manifold, dual fenton style headers, glasspacks, but it will have HEI and be converted to 12 volt neg. ground, from the 6 volt positive.

in the process of sandblasting and painting the frame and improving on the old chassis stuff, i.e. four wheel disk and a ford 8 inch rear

sum pic's of the plymouth and flathead...
