Customs 51 plymouth my build thread a little late!

Looking good man! Keep us updated.

 

so i had this idea.... business coupe!

 

what a cool build! Nice to see a plymouth getting the custom treatment! chop is perfect... gotta be honest though, was kinda bummed you didnt keep the original hardtop back glass!! still looks kick ass... I'll be at Mooneyes too, so get busy so I can check it out in person!

 

small progress report. tomorrow i will be pulling it out of the garage and doing a re-org. then on tuesday i it will be going to a buddies for a two link and bag in the back. i am super stoked.

 

o.k. the car has been dropped off. this is the first time i have ever dropped my car off to have anybody work on it.

 

i just got this while i am at work. thought i would share.

 

the coupe picture looks real cool,but so does your car where your at now.

 

Dont think I have ever seen a 51 look so bad ass! Nice work brother!!!

 

Awesome hiding job on you gas filler care to share pic or drawings of how it will look in the trunk.....do you have a vent line also?

 

car looks good I bagged mine a few months ago and it has a 2 link on back it sure made it ride alot better

 

what rings did you use to do the frenched headlights?

 

I just found a '50 for $1100...then I found your thread again and I want it so damn bad. Haha.

 

I like it. Great job on the chop! Can't wait to see more pictures. Get motivated!!!!

 

Ive personally seen this build come a long way, and there wont be a better plymouth out there when done! Keep it up and you'll make that dead line for sure. E.A.D.T.!!

Nice, glad you got a thread going. My poor Plymouth got pushed even further into the back burners. I just scored a 30 Dodge PU. Yours is coming along great. Looking forward to the updates.

 

sweet ride ....

 

Glendale, are you here? Hopefully you've been busy on the Plymouth.
Like it.

 

life has once again stopped my plan. hopefully after the new year..

 

sorry i took so long to get back to you. i used the stock rings. i had to buy like six rings to find a set i could actually get to hold a weld and then finished them with marglass.

 

thanks! All the stock rings I've seen have been pot metal.

Too bad you're stuck again--I know the feeling. My chop has been 1/2 done for 4 years now!.

 

they are pot metal. if you turn your heat way down depending on the ring you can do it.

 

Sick ride man I ben workin on a 50 wayfarer for a lil over a year now was wonderin on the 350 350 swap what you did about steering? I'm lookin to do the same to mine.

 

if i were going to do the drive train swap over i would do a small block mopar. look up shadowcustoms on here he has a dodge with a mopar motor way easier fit.
here is a new sad pick. she has been out in the rain for about a week. so now all the primer is going to come back off. it's not sealer just primer. and it's already starting to rust again.

 

Oh god, that sucks!!
A setback, for sure. At least you're ahead of the game with the major stuff: chop & stance. And love that grille !!

 

the grill is stock.yea i rushed the primer any way.thanks for the compliments.

 

Great job, I kinda thought the car was Fugly till you chopped it. Good save, hope you can get back to work on it soon.

 

o.k. some progress. front end is safe to drive again. all the cotter pins are installed. brakes are bleed one fender is welded on and the rain gutter one side is done.oh and i istalled the chromed gauge cluster. here are a couple of pics.many thinks to my club for the help.


one side left before.


after if you will.

 

Progress is good!!

 

heading back out to the garage should be able to drive today.
