    IT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE OUR RENDERING!!! Thank you for noticing!!
    The 38 Plymouth was not a desirable style, there's a reason that style only lasted a year!
    Here's my 2 cents:
    If you're not going to hide your plastic fan, then you should consider using your "wood" SAWZALL on that plastic, so it doesn't "ruin" the look of your grill.;)
    But, hey to each his own!! You know what they say about opinions....now just add a banana!!:rolleyes:

    Thanks!! I appreciate that!
    Thank you!
    Thanks a lot!
    Thanks Bob!
    Thanks so much!!
     
  2. Who let the restorer in....:D
    Great work as usual, I haven't seen this for some time, so nice to see progress.:)
     
  3. Oh boy, this old chestnut. :rolleyes:

    It's an oxymoron. If any car comes from a factory a certain way, that's what it looks like. It's not chopped unless it's chopped...THEN it looks chopped, because it is.

    Wow this is awesome! Amazing work you two. I like looking at the parts and figuring out how I would try to make them. Keep it coming!

    And IMO: It looks way better actually chopped than looking non-chopped like the fake chop the factory gave it.. or something like that.

    Here are some more progress pics: We've added some ribs to the running boards. We're building new floors & a transmission tunnel. We've added a piece under the doors to fill the large factory gap. We've made some skirts etc. IMG_2154.JPG IMG_2170.JPG IMG_2181.JPG IMG_2182.jpg IMG_2190.JPG IMG_2373.JPG IMG_2375.JPG

    We were alerted by @cretin in another thread featuring this team of the news that
    Tracy the lady half of this incredible Husband/Wife team passed away approximately a year ago from complications of cancer.

    A very tragic end to something we were so very fortunate to witness. May she rest in peace. She did not have a typical Hamb memorial.

    I've been hoping for Clark to return after he feels up to it but I'm not sure when or if that will happen. We miss their stuff.

    Condolences to Clark and Family and Friends again...

  21. I, too, feared that this might be the case. My condolences to Clark and their families. I was really praying for Tracy. She seemed to be a really special person.

    I am very sad to read this. Sadness, keep your spirits up Clark, life goes on, and Tracy sees you from heaven, and we all think of you.

    Incredibly sad news. I didn’t know Tracy but could sense her passion and devotion for the work that she and Clark shared here.
    I hope Clark heals and gets back to it soon. It won’t be the same but he can stand proud with the respect that others admired about them both.
