good lookin' old plymouth--gotta love those old Flattys[dr--Dare to be different!! You don't see many of those body styles running around--great find!![cl John T.

 

[riverrat44]

I always liked that style of Ply. Have fun with it, and send more pics. Those ole flatty sixes sound good when ya split the manifold and run duals.....

 

[whytesmoke]

Cool car hope to see what you do to it .[cl

 

[cantwell.colton]

well... gotta take everything out and rework the floorpans so i figured id go ahead and channel it while i was at it ... and it actually came with the baby moons -- white walls will stay for sure ... other than that i dont really know yet..but ill keep yall updated

throw a cheap paint job on the mercury sell it to fund your build on this car, you'll be surprised how fast the process will move , and how happy you will be [cl

lol nah ... not yet ... ive been thinking a lot about it and if i sell the mercury im almost set on buyin one of these old mail jeeps

and making something like this

but keeping the roof on it in a sedanish type build but with a small bed also ---
would kinda be like an extended cab -- super short bed --- im not sure -- ill have to sketch it up.

I like the Plymouth, way neat car . Running and driving is a bonus. Your Jeep idea sounds like it would look cool and definately would not see another just like that anywhere.

Cool car! I've got a 48 i've been building for a few years; those old Mopar flat sixes are some great engines. Fatman's Fabrications carries front end stuff if you want to upgrade the brakes and steering. Here's a quick pointer to increse the ride quality; the front shocks go between the upper and lower control arms and do very little to absorb impacts. Relocate the top shock mount to the frame and they ride much better.

Channeling it would be really cool. I had a '50 just like that and you really can't get them very low. This pic was with cut front coils and 4" lowering blocks in the rear. The front suspension was sitting on the bump-stops and there was about 2" left in the rear suspension.

I wished I had white-walls!

 

[sixtall]

Man, I'm lovin' that Plymouth. I dig that body style as-is. Look forward to more pix.

 

[cantwell.colton]

thanks guys -- i appreciate it ... -- one thing -- today i was lookin and my rocker panels are pretty shot -- was thinking if i tack on an extra square with some body fill i can get another 2 in or so closer to the ground on top of the suspension mods... any thoughts?

[cantwell.colton]

[cantwell.colton]
