Customs plymouth custom, from barn to paint

Its been a long road, and i was trying not to post anymore photos 'til it was all done,

but I just couldn't resist!

from 4 decades in my great-uncle's barn,
to today, and the (somewhat abridged) in-between.

So for you enjoyment, no BS,
Just a neat little photo timeline.






















still lots to do,
but hopefully the next time i'm posting,
it'll be on youtube, drivin down the road like these cars are supposed to be doin.

edit: for your viewing enjoyment...

Looking good. I have a soft spot for the old flathead six.

 

I'm only seein' red x's!

Looks really nice! My first car was a '52 Plymouth Cranbrook four-door, so your car has a special attraction for me!

its still workin fine on my end

 

Show off, I'm just joshing you bro awesome build, I can't wait to have my girl up and running. So close yet so far.

 

My hat's off to you for keeping that inline six sir!

I bet it's going to sound kick ass with those split manifolds...

 

They are squares on my computer.


Nice work so far.

 

sweet ride - that 6 looks awesome

 

VERY, VERY Nice!!!

 

Wow! I love the Plymouths and this is a nice one.

 

My first was a '51 Cranbrook Sedan. All stock except for the British Racing Green. I love those bubbley little bastards.

 

gotta love them flattys. Any specs?

Heres mine. .030 over, lined decked and honed, forged aluminum pistons, reground cam ( .530 of lift and 236 degrees of duration ) shaved head (9.5 -1) offy twin carb with 2 hollys, and split manifolds. Gonna be fun!

 

turning out great man! keep at it!

I just picked this 49 up a few nights ago!!

came across this in all old photo album the other day,
got a bit of a kick out of it,

of my plymouth, taken in 1961:

 

You putting a hood on it? If you are, do those horns clear?

 

They should, haha as they haven't been moved since the boys at the factory installed 'em!

 

Thats too cool.

 

i'd like more info on the manifold and split exahust that both motors pictured in this thread have .. please pm me.

Straights, nice build, man! BUT, that mill is a work of ART!!!! Wow. Gives me impetus for the 230 in my '38 Plym.!

 

lookin good. like that engine and checkerboard

 

good job on saving one. car looks good.

 

Looks good. I can't wait to see it finished.

 

I'm lovin me some checkerboard firewall. That is the baddest of the badddddddddd!!

 

Man that is one beautiful old Plymouth! I can't wait to see more!
