The dart is going to have the smaller (5 on 4") pattern and will be narrower. http://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/axle/16.html
Slmlrd, she looking sweet in that color...I'm still thinking of which HOK hotrod flatz I want, that red pearl is calling to me though the darker blue does too. I/we want interior pics when the time comes man....I'm actually thinking white tuck&roll cloth for mine{cloth breathes-vinyl don't!}...burlewood dash/trim, skirts, visor, dummy spots{don't want to drill big holes}, briz bumpers, tribar headlgihts, tombstone taillights...no chop for me though. You did a fine job with her..thanks for the inspiring ride!
Hè rich, looking bitching good!! Nice color. Make à Photo with Your arm Hanging out THE window when you drive By Your shop. Good advertising. Or better when à Nice lady hangs Something else outsite the window..... Oeps did i write That, à Nice man like me. Yes i did.
I wasn't familiar with the 40' plymouths until I looked at one this weekend. I came home and started checking out your thread and yours has the exact look I'm going for. Now to do a little more research to see if anyone has a 392 Hemi stuffed in it. That's a lot of engine to try and cool down in a small space. I'm not looking to copy anyone, but that color is pretty close to what I had in mind. Keep the pics coming! It's beautiful!!!! You've done a fantastic job on it.
At the beginning of the build a few people mentioned about rust in the usual places. Where are the usual places on these? The car I am looking at is a little hard to access to get a good all over look. Thanks For any help. Icky
Great car !! Luv that color on those body-lines...just LOOKS RIGHT ! What ratio did the Coronet 8 1/4" have? The spring perch locations worked out too? Might've missed it, but did you add anything in the way of preventing spring wind-up? I'm at the point of having to find a rear end for a 40 Chrysler coupe that is in the first stages of a build, and will be looking for something similar. Plus, I want to stay as much Mopar as possible. (Don't ask about the water pump situation..) I previously read on the HAMB that the Explorer pinions are offset, is that correct? The frame on the 40 Chrys has a narrow drive-shaft opening that is centered, so the Exp probably wouldn't work.
Came across this thread to see how good you are making this Plymouth look. Love the stance and color Fryguy
Hey Eric! I haven't taken any pics lately, but here's one a while ago (hood off). I'm in the process of installing my side glass and vent rubbers. New baby has put a few things on hold- hahaha. Also putting some nice paint on my garnish moldings. Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
Thank you!!! and I havent posted on the build much, but THANK YOU For sending me these hubcaps. I know I thanked you, but meant to do it publicly. Taking the time to send a stranger some car parts, just because... And free of charge is beyond awesome. Thank you!!! and Ive already paid it forward to another gent here on the HAMB. Like we talked about, I owe you a beer- or two. Mooneyes?
hey bud that is what the hamb is about.and you do owe me a beer! mooneyes is not looking good this year and i posted my car for sale today.but i will make it down your way sooner or later!
Well I figured Id post a pic I took yesterday. Im still fitting my vent rubbers.... Had to order another set as the set I bought from Andy B weren't up to par- Live and learn. Glass is cut and installed, garnish mouldings are fitted and painted and she is driving like a champ. Next stop? Interior....
Just as I thought it couldn't get any better, you post a new pic. WOW!!!! Well done Rich. Maybe I'll see you in Texas in march?
Cream white rolled and pleated everything. Over the top, but still classy. I have some cool drawings of the way I want it. It will be cool.
This is an awesome build, is the color one of those candy suede colors ? Do you have anymore plans for it at all ? Again, it looks so trick. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks man! The color is a base coat with clear and a little flattener added. Gotta do interior and keep driving!! Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
