Projects 50 plymouth - red barn paint on the wheels + a poll!

I love it. It's the perfect car to turn into a "gouk wagon"...adding every possible accessory possible. Looks like you've got a great start on the interior. Went that route my wife's Panel Deliv...so over the top ridiculous that it was cool.

 

Consider taking a look at the book "Potatoes Not Prozac" and radiantrecovery.com and seeing if your ~biochemistry is an issue. I can give the gist of it via PM, if anyone wants.

 

I'd call that a panel truck. Deliveries are the sedans.

 

Right!!! Thats a cool ride man! The wires look good! Man, that is hot!
Yeah, i want it to be fun and different. I went to chrysler nationals a few weeks back but didnt show the car. I covered it as a press member though and parked in the VIP section away from the show but the car got a LOT of attention. It surprises me how much it gets really. I had a guy follow me for like 10 minutes inyo a gas station just to check it out further. He was in love with it. Im in York Pa and not far from Carlisle pa and both areas have a pretty big car culture. There are old cars with 10 thousand dollar restores everywhere. Who would think my poor mans 4 door would get so much attention!?!?

 

Ill check it out... I dont take prozac and do eat more potatoes than most. Lol. In fact its a staple for me. I dont eat meat. Kinda a vegetarian/pescatarian. As i do eat eggs, some cheese and sometimes seafood. But i eat more veggies than most. I quit drinking heavily in October of 2018 and addressed what was a lifetime MAJOR issue of anxiety with serious panic attacks. Still in the midst of this but i take betablockers and it was like magic. I started drinking again as i did miss it. I am great with it now and it isnt like before when i used to keep chugging just to make the bad stuff stop or feel better about it (long story obviously) but at 40 years old i am the best i have ever been mentally. I do however still eat too much sugar. I love it damn it!

 

Yes, get the book. It's a pretty easy read. It's not perfect, but it may be very helpful.

I've recently discovered an issue with my veganish way of eating: The macronutrient balance was off- too many carbs.

 

Panel Deliveries are a sub-set of Panel Trucks.

SEDAN DELIVERY passenger car chassis, single rear door.
PANEL DELIVERY light duty pickup chassis, 2 rear doors.
PANEL TRUCK including the above, but usually a 3/4 ton or heavier panel truck, including stepvans and sometimes heavier panel's having dual rear wheels.

 

Every time I see crap like that stuck on an old car now it reminds me of the cars you see in the Walmart parking lot loaded down with stuck on and usually placed backwards port holes and fake gas fillers and the rest of the Autozone plastic chrome aisle trinkets.

 

Define “mount”.

I’m assuming that your wife knew about this.

Rough sketch,lowered, wheels tires,skirts

 

Ya never know

 

My wife was on board with it...UNTIL...a guy from Long Island offered me "stupid money" for it...and I sold it out from under her
Needless to say, I was in the dog house for quite some time

 

Once you get into the LSD interior door panels nothing else matters, well the red wheels are good. Put a bull nose on the hood and shave the trunk, ditch the dingle balls and ride around town in style.

 

Johnny, your putting your personal touches on it ! That a normal thing ,everyone of us has different likes and dislikes . That's a normal thing ,,I'd keep it as clean as you can ( looks like you are) ,drive and enjoy , and as far as life's troubles , that's part of life itself ,it's how we react to those troubles that makes us grow or not ,sounds like you have made a lot of progress , keep making wise decisions , don't return to something that has caused you trouble and you have already conquered . Last if you have not talked to God try it , if you have keep at it , God bless , wish you well .

 

80" Lake pipes would be a nice touch imho.

 

Appreciate the thoughts. As to the god stuff though, i am and always will be an atheist. Again, thanks though

 

Thanks for that bro!!! I really do appreciate it! That helps a lot!

 

The purple roof wasn't really serious, more a goof. Kinda looks like something the Joker would drive.

 

Right. Very Joker like. Thought maybe it was your style so i didnt want to knock it down

 

Winner, winner. Classy look, unlike the red wheels IMHO.

 

The door panels are a sign that therapy is required STAT...
Love the vintage cell phone holder on the windshield.

Seriously, you have a cool old car that appears to have been well maintained. Keep it simple and don't go overboard. If you do paint the top almond make sure you go from the belt line up and include the tops of the door frames.

 

I think you need to loose the trim rings. There's just something about red meeting black rubber. It's simple. If you run rings, you need to run moons too.
Moons no trim rigs, good.
Moons and trim rings, good.
Red wheels no moons or trim rings, good.
Trim rings only, not so good...cluttered.
Black wheels, no caps, no moons, whitewall tires...great.
