Where can i find the location for a 51 Cambridge? The reason i ask is it appears a 52 color was used on it. any place that is scratched is the same color under that. This is the 52 color http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?ditzler=41122&con=4&page=1&rows=50&size=large
[quote name="BloodyKnuckles" post="384667" I built a custom '51 Plymouth and drove the wheels off of it with the flathead 6, 6v and stock drivetrain and suspension. I put over 36,000 miles on it and heard the same thing as you.
BloodyKnuckles Like to see pics of it.
I agree, noone follows the 50s customs. I really get tired with my 51 Cambridge, having people ask wheres the v8 and the show car paint job. They dont understand . Back then you did some engine mods, lowered the rear and shined it up the best you could. The difference with mine is the builder used a built slant 6 to replace the flat head with a hole in the side. And the previous owner removed lowering blocks. Pics in my signature.
Well i judge on the qualty of there work, and that part looks good. Not something id want. Im glad the builder of mine didnt spoil it.He just went crazy with the slant 6 .
The best trophy is when your car makes someone smile and say my dad had one , uncle mom etc. The funnyest one was when an old lady said i had alot of fun in the back seat of one of them. She quickly added when she was 5 on her parents road trip.
So 46coupe, have fun and enjoy!
Exactly my plan. Not moving adjustments. Have it marked and photographs. Just need to know how to locate and remove lower hold down so I can replace cylinder
Bingo the lower is weeping. Now i have a shop manual and it is very vague. I have done drum brakes on cars before, nothing like this. So a little step by step removal and instalation would be a great help. Thanks all that helped so far.
