You Only Turn 40 Once...My Wife's New 34 Plymouth

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by BloodyKnuckles, Aug 9, 2011.

  1. Well, my lovely wife Heather turns 40 this month and I wanted to do something nice for her. Knowing that her Skylark "Gasser" wouldn't be done for her birthday and that our Model A is far from road ready I decided to let the "A" loose and pick up this little beaut.

    The guy I bought it from bought it from was talked out of rat rodderizing it by a close friend and fellow Iron Lord. He owned it for a few years and never heard it run or was able to drive it.

    I picked it up today and after about an hour being home I had it running and after adding some brake fluid we were driving it with the help of my 2 buddies Jimmy TuTone and Ron-AKA Senior-AKA Pops-AKA Old Fucker! Thanks guys.

    The little sucker runs and drives pretty damn good.

    On to the pics of her new 1934 Plymouth.

    The happy, happy birthday girl and her new toy;

    We are not sure if we will modify this one.

    Out of curiosity, If you owned it what would you do?

    Wow, what a beauty! The car is awesome too.

    She looks very happy. So nice to see a woman excited over an old car.

    Congrats to the both of you.

    Happy Birthday and Congratulations! If it were mine I would keep it running and see where that takes me as far as modifications (brakes, wheels). Have Fun while your finishing the gasser!

    Nice Boobs, that thing is super clean!! I'd leave it as it cosmetically and just get it safe and reliable. I'm kinda digging restorations lately. I'd like to restore a Model A pickup one day.

    SO you got rid of your coupe? Just wanted to make sure I read that right.

    Congrats on the new addition to the stable, very very cool. Happy birthday to the Mrs.

    I did a google search for 34 Plymouth sedan hot rod and nothing I saw was as cool as what you already have. Keep it stock, I am sure you will make it safe and reliable. I think you guys will have a lot of fun with it.

    Bring that sucker to shop night tonight!

    I think a T-5 behind a later 230 Cu In Flat head six with dual carbs and split exhaust, along with updated rear axle and brakes, wheels, tires all around and drive it
     
  29. Thanks again guys. Heather appreciates the nice words.

    IWe had our first failure today. After changing the oil but not the disposable canister filter I started the car and with the pressure of the new oil the canister burst at the seam. I have never seen this and it surprised me. I was planning on putting on a different type of oil filter but just not yet. I bypassed the filter for now and have the new one ready to go in. I just need new fittings.

    Heather and I gave the Plymouth a bath today and cleaned up the interior. It cleaned up well.
