We are getting closer now, the interior is now in, now for all of the other finishing off jobs like fitting glass, tuning the carbs and getting it...
Got the back end sitting an inch lower, will have to change the front springs to lift the nose a touch for better steering geometry.[ATTACH]...
Took the car for a quick run down the road, the front suspension has settled and dropped a lot, current stance needs to be swapped :-) Will...
Absolutely love this build and the parts choices along the way.
Glad you are enjoying the build, even though it has dragged out a while. It's funny you are running a 331 as I have a 341 Desoto Hemi I purchased...
I wanted to get most of the dirty work out of the way before I put them on, but I wish I had done it sooner as the level of inspiration has risen....
Thanks @31Apickup and @j hansen I am slowly getting it closer to the vision I had.

Change of shoes, bit of adjustment to get the stance right but we are getting there! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Still chipping away at a few jobs before the car heads off to the trimmers, bonnet (hood) is now on along with the front bumper and loads of other...
We put the front together over the weekend and got it sitting in place now that we have the car running. Slowly getting ready for a road...
Tail lights are Dodge/Plymouth and were already on the car when I got it. We moved them up so they weren't pointing at the ground and fitted the...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] A little more progress finally! Exhaust system is completed and we had a preview with the bumper on to ensure we had the...
Not a heap of progress over Christmas and New Year, aside from hanging the doors and bootlid back on. We have a few things to sort out with the...
Thanks to everyone posting in this, it is helping me decide on final trim for my 40 Chrysler
Thanks for that, I'm sure we could make something similar easily enough.
Yeah I don't have any sill plates at all for the car so I will have to make something suitable. The headlights are a big improvement, and it's...
Hagan rings are gone, made some clips to suit the Ford Rings, a little more fine tuning needed but WAAAAAYY better than the Hagan rings[ATTACH]
I bought a roll of some original style vinyl fenderwelt which seems to be good
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] We are back on track again now after some downtime due to major flooding in our area, thankfully the workshop the coupe...
Inside is now all rubbed back ready for color this week![ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
A bit more progress with the doors and window garnishes all primed up ready for paint. The heater has been replated and assembled. Next on the...
We have had a fair bit more progress, finishing off some wiring and fitting the dash, started putting in some sound deadening material and...
Getting back into the 40 again, the past couple of weeks have been spent getting the dash finished ready for paint and yesterday we put the first...
I am a little biased as a Mopar tragic but it is fantastic to see Danny get the recognition for his efforts on this build. I am looking forward to...
The dash has been made from scratch for the RHD conversion so we had a clean start. The New Yorker is a 57 and it was owned by a collector here...
We have had a few distractions lately, work has been crazy, I've added another car to the collection, helped organise a local hot rod and custom...
Trim rings have arrived and they fit exactly as previously mentioned, it's almost like the Hagan pots were designed for these Ford rings! Will...
Righto I have sourced some 54 Ford rings so once they arrive we will mock those up and make them work then I will throw the Hagan rings as far as...
Thanks for that, I better track some 54 rings down!
