i am sorry i rambled and did not outline the new plan. the new frame will have no bags no v8. pretty much stock i want to build a hopped up flat six most likely with a t-5 dual carbs and fenton headers. dropped uprights my disk brakes dropped rear leaf sprinngs and probably blocks in the rear.stock gas tank and floors. in the end a much nicer finished car.

i knew the title would make you guys look.lol.. so here is my car. this is from a few weeks a go. the most recent. the motor going back in. the motor is a small block chevy that i installed.the car also has a two link rear suspension.so my intension for the for the car has always been to be a traditional custom. i have built this car in driveways flooded one car garages.now i finally have a nice garage to work in.i have no doubt cut corners as a means to an end. and i am for sure not happy about some of them. so this leads us to last night. i told another friend of mine that i am probably going to sell the car this summer because i am not happy with the running gear of the car.and to go back now would call for a new frame and running gear.so he talked me off the ledge and that is my new plan.my car is a hardtop from the factory. so i will need a four door frame. i have located a a complete four door close by at a very reasonable price. so now my question do you guys think i am crazy or is this a good idea. my plan is to put the car back together with the sbc and keep it on the road while i build the new frame.then swap them.sorry my post is a bit pick heavy and long winded i am pretty excited.

i thought you guys would dig it.

very true

it is never easy is it....

my car is a 1952 two door hardtop. i am upset for lack of a better term with the direction i took the car. it currently has a 350/350 and a two link rear air bag setup. i kick myself for not staying more traditional.i have a friend that has a 52 plymouth fastback. i have a lead on a 49 fastback that is much better shape than his car. my thoughts are that i can get the 52 from my bud and we will swap parts to get him the best car i only want the chassis and running gear.his car has a nice motor he would keep. the 49 has a nice motor i would keep. the only hang up is wheel base. are the 52 fastback and hardtop the same wheelbase?thanks so much for your time.

thanks bob!

hey do you any of you guys have a supplier for a 51 plymouth two door hardtop?i did chop my car so even a universal might work.thanks everybody!

i have poste dthe first one a ton of times. most recent. i have a ton more body work to do but i have been driving a lot.

hey guys some how i have lost the bolt that holds my steering wheel on. anybody have one? pretty please.

Does anyone know if the front fenders, hood and grill from a '51-'52 Plymouth will bolt onto a '49-'50 body? Thanks!

i have a 8 circuit in my 51 plymouth i think it's called the pro-t. i have since helped install one in a 50 dodge and a 54 ford. i had never wired a car before mine. it took me like two weeks. the 50 dodge is the last one i did. it took me and two buddies like five hours to get it in. i like them they are easy and cheap.

i have a 51 plymouth with a 350/350 i installed. tell him a mopar is a way better easier fit. i'll post pics of both if he would like to see. i was having second thoughts about untill i drive my buddies 51 dodge the other day. and then i remembered how dog slow it is.

what is the ohm range for a stock 51 plymouth gas gauge?thanks in advance!

6.70 15 firestones.7.10 might be a bit big. are you going to lower it?

how do i measure to find out what i have. it's a 1950 dodge wayfarer two door.

51 plymouth two door hardtop 350/350 jeep cherokee rear two link and bags in the rear.

what is the diameter of the axle tubes? my buddy is ordering lowering blocks and they wanna know. i think they are 3 inch just not sure.thanks for your time.

thanks i don't have pic of that i will try and get one.

i have more pics if you guys need. please let me know..

thanks i was hoping for a cheaper alternative.

my car has a 350/350 in it so the clutch pedal is of no concern. what has everbody used? i have a very small budget to get my car on the road and this is one thing i would for sure like to get done. thanks

before after

how am i making you look bad? your car was back on the road a year before mine. it's funny that everybody is digging the white. it's going into a super dark maroon as soon as i can get some more bodywork done most likely this winter.

i knew i would hate them to. they really don't look bad though. i think when i get the rocker moulding back on they will pop real nice.
