Ok so I already have new floors and rockers for it, but can't seem to find rear quarters. I searched the HAMB and came up with nothing. So please help Im sure I missed them so place but Ive been looking for days and cant find them any were. Ill keep yall posted on the build and any new pics as I get them. Oh I almost forgot the best part of the build, the original flat 6 still runs flawless.

sorry i dont know what happened. the last line is supposed to say "for some help". sorry i dont know how that happened.
hey man, good luck with the savoy! i am in the same boat as you when it comes to finding odd ball Plymouth parts. give www.oldmoparts.com a looksy, they had my clutch and fuel sender. they also have a catalog that may cover sheet metal, or you can make it your self like i had too.
as a lover of 54 Chevys, i found my 54 savoy to be a little change of pace. i am really impressed by them. they got a good look and are surprisingly small too.
Cant wait to see this Savoy finished You've got good bones..Give these guys a call..I always see them at swapmeets and I know they will ship parts anywhere and they seem to always have a good selection of Mopar parts. Big M Auto Salvage, Williams CA Phone 1-530-473-2225 Good Luck!!!
i have a jag, s10, and volare front clip sitting at my place. thinking maybe volare to keep it mopar. i have done s10 clips on 54 chevys butcan be narrow, the upside to an s10 clip is it gives you some turning room when dropped
use whichever one fits! one drawback of the s-10 is sometimes the steering box being out front gets in the way. the volare stuff was junk when new, weak idler arm mounting but the jag sounds cool. hell just make sure u take lots of pic's and post them.
another upside to the s10 is all the aftermarket parts available. adapting a rack set up would be easy enough... 55 dude- i am bad about posting pix haha.
if you figure out a easy way to adapt R&P to a s-10 i want to know because i have been trying for years to come across somebody that had done it correctly. have you seen pictures ofone done?
I am just about to get started on my 54' Savoy as well. Very low rust. thank you california. I plan on keeping it pretty stock though. Every thing stays. but I do plan on a shave and maybe a chop. Right now my concern lies with getting it cleaned up. just posted to reddit as well. Here are the pics. http://imgur.com/a/OesD9
54 Savoy was my first car. Listening to the radio for an hour sucked the battery dry, and produced a lot of heat from the tubes Drove it to school every day. Paid $50 for it, and traded it in on a 57 Desoto.
