Projects '48 HEMI plym mock up pics

here's my current project. it's a 48 P-15 plymouth business coupe with '42 rear fenders, fender trim and tail lights. 49 plym bumpers. 56 chrysler HEMI. just thought i would show off a little, i'm getting excited! the man who is doing the fab work for me is too!

 

Hey...it fits! Cool maaaaan.

 

it fits with a lot of surgery!

 

I see that. Looks great.

 

Good looking engine compartment.......and.......love the bumper treatment......'42 rear fenders?

Nice car!!

 

This is going to be good! Looking forward to the progress.

 

Nice! A little too low in the front for me but nice none-the-less, any lower wouldn't look period correct. I like the front bumper, that's a hard front end to customize right without making it look weird, you nailed it.

 

Sweet.

 

It's probably low because of the 800lb motor that was shoehorned into the front of it ( which I also would have done personally) looks sweet sitting in there. Keep the pictures coming as you finish it up


So many projects..so little time

 

The stance will get tweeked as weight is added to the front.it will go up some. The rear fenders from 42 have different wheel well opening, they match the front, the 48's were sort of "skirted"

 

That and fatman spindle supports and relocated spring plates!

 

It looks right at home there between the rails.

 

Certainly will make changing rear tires a lot easier!

 

Looks good, like the look of the nine compartment. My opinion is the stance looks great! I have been working with the rear fenders on my '47, the wheel opening is different from the front and the rear skirts are3" short. Going to look for a pair of 42's, will save a lot of work. Keep posting pictures.

 

Great start! Bumpers look fabulous. I like the stance and rear fender opening.

 

Too low? Are you kiddin? IT'S PERFECT!!!

 

Another great lookin' MoPar on the HAMB!

 

I like it and never really though much about those years but if I ever run across one reasonable might have to get it after seeing yours.

 

Wow...subscribed! Love the 42 fenders!

Look really good. What is your rear bumper gaurd off of.?

 

Nice car, especially like the hemi and the front bumper......how was the bumper done?.........using extra original pieces or bent tube?.......am quite impressed with the shape..........regards, andyd

 

i agree on the front bumper,, dont know if i seen it here or at an evnt but ive seen it before,,,,koool as heck

 

two bumpers, a lot of relief cuts and a lot of welding

 

i don't remember! my buddy gave it to me. i looked it up once but i forgot. i just spent some time looking and couldn't find it. it was about 8" wider and the lower "legs" were shorter.

 

Cool build. Good luck!

 

Looks real GOOD. I like what you did with the front bumper.

 

Car looks great.The 42 fenders are perfect.

 

Love it. There was a similar YOM convertible project on Canadian Rodder site with a Hemi a few months ago.

 

This is going to be super cool! Subscribed.
