Projects My 1937 Plymouth Coupe Project

nice build so far! What did you use for a front end? anymore updates?

 

thanks for keeping us updated over the years . I have a 36 that I will tackle one day. all the best!

 

It's a 74 Plymouth duster subframe with power disk brakes and I am doing all the bodywork my self and not using a body shop

 

Quick update. I been slowly working on the Plymouth but don't have a lot of money so just been doing what I can. I have decided to use a fiberglass dash in stead of the metal dash because there is a lot of rust and will save some time. I have started patching holes in the floor and after I get that done, I will paint the inside with a chassis paint.

 

Yesterday I worked on the Plymouth. I peeled off all the old heat and sound deadener in the trunk and only found two holes in the trunk that need to be fixed. The pic of the big hole in the floor, I'm not real sure how much more to cut out to put new steel in. It looks like to me that who ever owned it before me and my uncle before that just kept patching the floor multiple times. Any suggestion would be very helpful to fix that hole in floor would be great.

 

I decided to take the body off the fame to paint the frame. I am also going to fix the floor and put new inner and outer rocker panels on. I am going to under coat the hole underneath of the body one I get every thing completed on the body.

 

NICE coupe , nice work so far....congrats on your recent marriage , a good wife is worth more than rubies and gold.....and speaking of attractive colors you gotta LOVE "plum crazy"......have fun and be safe!

 

Today I had the frame sand blasted.

 

Thinking about changing the rear suspension to a four link and coil over set up and eliminating the rear leaf springs but, not sure if that would make it ride smother instead of going air ride.

 

Updates?
