Hot Rods '33 Plymouth mocked up

Now, THAT is nice!

 

A little more progress.

At CHRR swap section I found a 1936 Ford dash in perfect shape.... So I cut it up

Had to narrow it a few inches, and hack it up for my Stewart insert. Still need to round the top corners, and make mounting tabs to bolt it in the car, but it's getting there.









Anyone have an ashtray or ashtray blank off they want to sell me??

 

Love the column drop!!!

 

I suppose I could part with it, pick up only cash in hand!!

 

Nice!!!

 

^^ Thanks!

Little more progress today. More cuts, more welds. Had to fit the curve of the dash header better. At least I'm getting good practice welding sheet metal!

 

Josh you are on a roll....dash looks sweet.

 

More dash work. Wish I had more significant progress to post but money is tight and as long as I have wire and gas, welding just takes time. (And electricity! )
No more C-clamps holding the dash on, just need to finish the top corners and make lower mounting points and this dash is done.... Finally!

Nice work Josh.

 

dash is awesome nice work

 

Thanks Skip, I hope as I'm building this you don't slap your forehead and think "My god this kid is killing my car!!!"

Thank you very much, I really appreciate yours and everyones comments. After the mess in my garage it's nice to see others share (or at least agree) with my vision!

 

intersted in your 33 plymouth call at 559-280-0607 thanks.

 

Sweet ! sits just right , nice work.

 

Perfect stance, which I don't see that often with these cars. Nicely done and can't wait to see your progress!

 

Subscribed. This thing is looking good!

 

Hey I'm in vfa-192 wereare you?

 

Its cool to see some local stuff on here, i started driving my 64 falcon again now that its cooled off.

 

Love it! I have dash envy

 

33 plymouths rock. a very much overlooked car that makes a great rod.
very cool start.

 

I'm STILL working on the dash!! I have modified it now to the point that it's pretty much made of welds. I'll post a few pics when I finally get it done.

Thanks for the kind words fellas, it means a lot to me.

 

hey josh, I'm glad you kept your 33....I picked up a 34 Hudson and am wondering about how much of a channel have you got there?...your car sits sooo nice!!

 

6 inch channel

 

That's one great looking dash. Trust me, I know how much time it takes to make one. Great stuff!

 

Thats great looking plymouth, like the stance and really like the dash.

 

Just stumbled on this. It's awesome man!!!! I really like the WW/Steelie combo but I'm sure the chrome is going to be rad once a new set of tires are mounted!!!

 

Thanks Skip!

Thanks JJ, The chrome wheels are just rollers, I don't want to mess up the pretty tires in the garage! I like the chromes, but they take it to a different look than I'm shooting for. Really, so do the WW's, but it's what I have until I can get some Firestone blackwalls.

I appreciate everyones comments, it really means a lot to me.

Not much to take pics of recently, but I am fitting a mustang radiator now (believe it or not, it BARELY fits in the shell!)

Just picked up some bearjaw latches that I have to fit, interior and exterior handles, and working a deal on some super sweet SW gauges.. I'll throw a few pics up when I get ahold of the gauges.

Once again, thanks for the comments. It truly is a blessing to have such a supportive family, friends and HAMB friends.

 

Yeah what a time I've had with this thing!! It wouldn't be half as bad if I wasn't so damn particular either!!!

 

Finally got some gauges that "fit" the car. Not too sure if I'm going to keep the tach, or find one that matches the others. NOS smooth bezel gauges from Rory, (SinisterSpeed) Thanks for a killer setup, and a damn fair price to boot! Not much more to update, been way busy the last month. Here are some pics...

Gauge porn...


Installed in my hacked up dash...

 

Like the guages and panel, but, wonder how the panel would look turned upside down in that dash?
