Picked up this 41 Plymouth after selling my panel van. Only had to go 40 miles to get it. No 2 day trips to find my next project. It allready had a nice Hiedts frontend installed and was set up for Chevy running gear. Now normally with me being a Mopar man I would redo it and put a Mopar motor and trans in it. But a friend had a 350-350 setup that he was wanting to upgrade so I just bought it and installed it. Had to do all the usual stuff plus I installed Vintage Air. So I have had it about a month and drove it for the first time to the muffler shop today. Looks like it is going to be a real nice driving car. Still have a lot to do like interior and glass but it is coming along. I like to do the paint and bodywork on my cars but this one was allready finished. The bodywork is only so so and the paint is a 5 footer. But I think I will just leave it alone and have some fun with it. The guy had some parts like the headlight trim, hood ship, interior bezel and a few other trim pieces rechromed. If he would have just spent a little more on the bodywork this would have been a very nice car. Hope to have it ready to go too the Redneck Rumble. Oh ya does anyone know where I might find the headlight trimrings? Here pics of what it looked like when I got it. With the wheels that will be on it.
Looks like a great project, well done! Good to see another Plymouth build here on the Hamb, welcome to the family!
Really nice looking car. Is that a single stage paint job and what is the name of the color? I have a van I want to paint and that color might really make it pop!!!!!!!! Jimbo
ChrisBlattie in the H.A.M.B. O'Dex is the man for your glass. His finish on the edges are second to none and he was cheaper than the local glass shops in my area.
Put the saltflats on just to see what it woluld look like. Her big sister waiting her turn. Next up interior
I hear ya 61. Thats the tires that came on the rims. I lowered it 1" in the rear to close up some of the gap. Here it is all together.
