Get a 5 on 5 1/2 wheel bearing from the junkyard ford explorer works well, mount on bench. Make a brush holder arm and position at the point you want to stripe. Wet brush with desired color and turn wheel. Repeat on each wheel. Done!

Where did you order the floor pans, is it just the bolt in portion or the whole floor?
-
Is there supposed to be welting between the rear fenders and body?
-
HaHa, Deathbound! Sorry, that's in my father in laws shop. It's his 76' FLH Liberty Edition, he's had it since new and has over 500k on the odometer. I love the old Shovelheads, I've got an 81'FXS.

Thanks fstfish, I'll do my best to keep you entertained. I need to dig it out of the snow and get it into the shop to continue progress. This is the winter that won't end!

Previous owner horribly grafted an Oldsmobile ifs front clip, he wants it back original.
-
That's what I thought, but wanted to make sure. He got the radiator and support and those fit but it's not a first series.

I've got a fellow Plymouth guy who needs to replace a hacked frame under his 47 coupe. He found a 49 coupe with a decent frame, will they interchange?

I work best under a pressured deadline, otherwise I procrastinate on my own projects. If it was a customers it would be done already.

I'm sure it does.

Oh well, just wishful thinking I could get out of some bodywork, Anyone who is looking for a 47 dodge 4 door and a 49 plymouth, coupe package deal for $800 in southern Maine. http://maine.craigslist.org/cto/4933771587.html

It is the butterfly hood

I just found a 47 Dodge 4 door on craigslist, will the rear doors interchange with the plymouth?

I started by removing the interior, carpet/mats, and door panels, so I could get a good look at what I have to deal with on the floor. Back seat Good metal under seat Passenger rear rocker Passenger front rocker Driver front floor/rocker Driver rear rocker Previous owner tried to replace outer rockers without replacing the nonexistent inners and supports http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y31/jeepnjay/Mobile%20Uploads/image_11.jpg After taking off the door panels, I saw plenty of bondo seeping in the bottom of the rear door skins. I've got my work cut out for me!

Well you all know what a "Shotgun" Wedding is. Well, this is a "Shotgun"Build! My wife got this 46 Special Deluxe 3 years ago as a 30th birthday gift from her dad. She wants to make it a daily driver. So I've been collecting parts and making plans but have been dragging my feet at the resto. But we have plans to take a trip the last week in July from Maine to Wisconsin, and the wife asked if I might be able to have the Plymouth ready to drive for our trip. Challenge Accepted! This is just after we unloaded it. So after moving it around for 3 years I've finally started in. I've got a 276 Desoto hemi all fresh fom the machine shop, all done except putting valves back in. Got an 8.8 rear axle from a 96 explorer with disks and 3.73 gears as well as the front disks. Maybe a cavalier rack, but not sure yet. Other than that, it's going to retain a mostly stock appearance. I run a welding/fab business and have an industrial sewing machine so it's mostly DIY. So the race is on! Wish me luck and keep me motivated.
