epix1718 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) Saw this while looking through my Instagram post and wanted to share.. I know it may not be everyone's taste but they did seem to do a good job at the build. Gordon Custom Fabrication built this LS powered 4-door 1946 Plymouth for the Gambler 500 rally https://gambler500.com/ More pictures can be seen here through their rotating instagram feed: http://gordoncustomfab.com/instagram/ Edited November 12, 2017 by epix1718 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackTheFinger Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 To each his own.. An AWD P-15 could be interesting but not one set up like a monster truck.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Seems like a waste of a nice car. A nearly invisible AWD conversion is probably achievable although I can think of a bunch of reasons not to do it.

greg g Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Perhaps Audi, turbo, quattro running gear, seats, in a stock looking Plymouth. Lowered about three inches on not ridiculous wheels and tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John32369 Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 I could see doing it with a junker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatie46 Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Another fine example of..." Just because you can, doesn't mean you should ". I can think of a lot of vehicles you could give the " off road look" to, P-15's don't fall into that category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebeebe5 Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'd off-road that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nearly invisible AWD conversion is probably achievable although I can think of a bunch of reasons not to do it. of the cars I modify with other drivelines, the exterior of the car stays in effect as that of stock in about all ways physical with exception to a set of nice dual tips and maybe the accent of a set of alloy wheels. Of these, I would think that none here would have attempted to rebuild the cars I chose as the base into a stock driver as they came to me less a driveline installed to begin with and nothing in the form of floor pans. As mentioned, a modern upgrade AWD could easily be accomplished without altering the look and in that sense of the build be quite the different driving machine in foul weather GIVEN the roads are not chemically treated for winter. To do that work and subject it to chemical is as bad as building it as the sample above. I can only agree to the fact it was started and completed and that the builder did follow through to the end.

bob westphal Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 We all build our cars the way we want them. This guy did what he wanted. I'm not a FWD guy so I wouldn't build a car like that but I can't criticize for doing what wants. It sure is different though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
