Projects 33 plymouth 2 door sedan

Nice car. I had one in Holland about 12 years ago. Bodies are really nice but the from axle is not as pretty as a Ford setup. But fendered they are really pretty.

Just got my 392 shortblock back from the machine shop.

Ah yes nothing better than fresh clean iron

 

Looks good

 

Loving it! I can't wait to see how your car turns out.

Moving along. Anyone know which way the slot should be pointing on the distributor drive gear?

Got the front end all mocked up today. First time it has set on its own wheels in several years. Now, to set that hemi in it to see where the motor mounts need to be.

 

Thanks for the update, looking good. I got stuck on the rear hangers on my wife's 33. I really want to just use the stock shackles.. I really need to update my project as well. Keep going, don't loose steam.

 

What did you do with the stock front axle or did it not have one? I'm collecting pieces to build a 34 Dodge coupe. I have several leads on parts car sedans if you need anything. Waiting for the snow to clear to go check them out.

 

In my search, 2-dr sedans are harder to find than coupes.

 

Sorry, I sold it awhile back. I will let you know if I run across another

 

Thanks. Do you know if the 35 pickup frame is the same as the 33/34 car?

 

I have heard that they are. But i have never been able to put them next to each other and do a comparison.

 

Working on the motor mounts. Looks like that old hemi is gonna fit. Sure is a lot easier to move that around without a couple hundred pounds of heads on it.

 

When you fire it up for first time your blood will boil.

 

neonhorse, if you are looking for a nice set of aluminum set of heads, I have a set of hotheads, I would part with. They have been ported already with big valves for breathing. They would save ya 75# per head.

 

I tried to PM you, not sure if it worked.

 

Had to switch to a TH350. With this, the stock radiator fits and the distributor fits with the stock firewall.

 

Nothing wrong with that I am running the same setup in the 37 Plymouth that I am building. Keep going this is a Great Build Hobo Jim

 

Filling all the holes in the firewall. How many holes does one need in the firewall anyways? I think I have filled almost 20, and as you can see, there are more to go.

 

Some of them look custom

 

My first try at fabricating something from scratch. Custom seat brackets. Gotta start somewhere.

 

Nice job on the brackets! Hobo Jim

 

Went 360 mopar on both my 33 ply and my now 41 ply and always wondered if it would of been easier going small block. Good going.
