first off let me just say that i am not an experienced builder and i have no clue what i'm doing but it sure is fun!! i'm learning as i go and i'm learning a lot. to say the least. here's some pics of the untouched gem of the junkyard.... left forgotten, no one wanted her and she was destined for the crusher in a month. needless to say i shelled out $600 and signed the original pink (i wanted to keep it) so i'm second owner besides the scrap yard. the tags were even up to date!
Looks good what's the plan for it? I have a 51 2 door coronet I'm building def. Gonna be following ur build
very cool. i aslo have a 51 coronet 4 door that comes after this one. he wanted $2000 for it but i haggled him down to $200 and a watch! no solid plan as of yet but i'm sure i want to do the best i can on a budget. cleaning and welding a lot so far....
i'm having one hell of a time finding any kind of parts for this car. i need lug studs, body mount kit, bushings ect. i'm finding nothing on line. been searching for weeks... HELP!!!
Start with http://www.oldmoparts.com/Default.htm they have just about everything you need. There are plenty of hambers on here that have built a few of these. Try http://www.50plymouth.com, or http://www.oldplymouths.com. A lot of the stuff is still available from O'Reilly auto parts. Also there is a website that has everything about your car. http://www.merc583.addr.com/mopar/framesets/welcomeframeset.html Hope this helps.
