Anyone else building old dodge/plymouth other mopars?

I would retain the 6 volt system.

 

If you got rid of all that 80's crap.....it would be a nice car.

 

Wouldn't I need the 12 v conversion once I swap for a current gen V8?

 

Yup. Thought you were keeping her stock.

 

Still a ways out, but here's my 50 plymouth.

 

54 dodge royal rag top hemi kustom channeled over frame 3in , for starter, many more mods to come.

 

I'm thrashing on a 52 Plymouth I just bought. Gotta try to get it ready before Viva in March. Here's my build thread, in case anyone's interested...

To answer your question, yes.

 

Trying to Find the best way to Lowering my '53 Chrysler Hemi Wagon..Please Share Your Experiences...Thxs Mopar Guys !!!

 

can you post a pic of the front suspension?

 

Old Mopar? Here's my 47 sedan, built 340, 727, Dana rear, Dodge Aspen front end and steering column. This car's about as mopar as it gets!

 

That's so cool!

I'm building a chopped 48 Canadian Dodge sedan right now! (which is a Plymouth body) it was an abandoned project I rescued from going to scrap that already had most of the chop done.

I have to make the rear quarter window frames still and finish the door tops, but it's coming along. What did it take to put the K-member in from the Aspen? I have a few of those and the thought has crossed my mind.

My build thread is 'Old timey build...Aussie style'

Here is my 50 Desoto.

Is it me or are these oddball cars getting more popular?

 

It takes cutting off the original frame and building new rails to mount the Aspen crossmember to. Then you will need to fabricate all the rad, body and bumper mounting points.
If your frame and front suspension are in good condition (not rusted away or bent) rebuilding your original stuff with a disc brake conversion and relocating the upper shock mounts to the frame instead of the upper control arm makes these cars handle and drive well. You can also add a rack & pinion pretty easily if you want, and slamming them to the ground is not that difficult if that is your thing. All of the info you need to do all of these things is available right here on the HAMB through a search for 46-48 Plymouth/dodge suspension. Gene

 

I'm working a 47 4 door.
just finished the Ford 9" rear end bagged and Triangulated 4 bar.
Added Disc Brakes, Had to notch twice to get ride height and clearance. Rooking Mistake. Taking more time now.

About to put in a Fat Man Mustang Two Frame Stub.
disc and Bagged.

I have a small block Chevy with a 700 tranny.

Sort of a Mutt,
I have a long way to go. maybe end of the year, I might be driving ugly but moving.
There are some pics in my folder.

 

Blowry, never a "mutt" man, we drive what we can afford and most of us drive cars "in the works"..a lot of work there, looks good.. would luv to see some pics of the 4bar

 

I have a 55 Plymouth that I was building. Gave up on it. Just gathering parts and will put it up for sale on the classifieds. No time.

 

Im building a 29 dodge 5 window. 318 904 ford 9inch. have 671 blower set up. gonna go with a mid to late drag look with 5 spoke americans and metal flake.

 

better ditch the 904 for a 727 tranny,that blower set up will eat that 904

 

...not true...if it is properly built. There are many drag cars using modified 904; they can handle some serious hp.

I have all four metal fenders, for a 1924 dodge 5 window. 602-617-3559
they been dipped and darn near perfect...
