There are far nicer, but few gazed at with more awe for the potential fun miles to come. "Red Dog" is a late '48 and let me tell you, we're gonna have us a time.
I'm happy to see more old Mopars lately. Here's my contribution...a 48 Special Deluxe. Yeah, it's a 4-door, and I'm glad it is. Looks pretty much stock, doesn't it? It's got a 355 SBC, and TH350, and scoots along very nicely.

Hey, 48plysled, hope you can make one of the Lonestarroundups held in Austin every April. It is a long way from Cheesetown, but I would love to see your "mochine". Looks very impressive.
Definitely will try to keep you guys updated I would love to make it there sometime. We shall see more about that when its closer to finished. Thanks for the compliments man. Its been a lot of work but so worth it.
Stock with a 230 six from a 57 Plymouth.......skirts......other period knick-knacks. Not fast, but fun. (Ran it at the HAMB Drags in '05.....pretty slow.) Got a little damage from the Joplin tornado......son in law is currently working on it.
I just picked up three old Plymouths one is a 49 4 door, another is a 47 4 door, and the last is a 49 2 door. All for $7000. The two 4 doors are road ready with just some brake work and the 2 door is in need of somemore work. All in all I love old mopars and plan on doing the 2 door into a real hotrod with the stock motor and some old cutsom tricks I may need some suggestions on somethings ill post as they come up.
