    What's going to be final color choice?, the rattlecan maroon looks like a nice shade. Hope you're driving it now.

    Glendale, you've got yourself one really nice ride. :cool: I too have a 50 Ply with choptop, complete Volare drivetrain and suspension. Sadly the car has been on the back burner for about 8 years now. You have inspired me. As soon as I get the new shop done the ply is coming out of the weather to get blessed as yours has. GREAT JOB and enjoy the ride with the family. :D
     
  19. one more for the night crew.

  21. Your plymouth is looking clean. Keep the progress coming. I want to see some more of this build.
     
  22. thanks man. here is a pic of the seat bottom finished. i should have alot more on the car itself done this weekend.

  23. So you do custom upholstery?
     
  24. no my best friend does. this is his second set of seats he has ever done the first time doing vinyl.he is tryning to start a business. i think it's pretty amazing for being such a newbie at it!
     
  25. I am actually very interested in him making me seat covers for both my rides. Looks great!

    Love the roof chop.I have been toying with putting a steel roof back on my 52 Dodge coronet as I have never been happy with the carson style top I made.this was a 4door I extended the doors about 8".

    That was a quick reply:) I am going to get rid of those side mirrors and replace with 4" round ones and put on a chrome front bumper. I had a custom dash in but have installed the original one back in it. this dodge has been on the road over here for about 4-5years now.I got the tail lights In a yard in Oklahoma City in 02 and carried them around the states in a suitcase while on a trip.best time of our lives. Ray.
     
  29. got some work done today. the compressor is just sitting on the tank.
