    Lack of 1/4 vent was stock from factory, a sign of how low line a model this was . I've been searching a new pair of White walls for the back based off your 41 but can't seem to find a 235/65. Lots of 235/75's though.

    A friend of mine from Alberta swears by this stuff https://www.earthkind.com/fresh-cab/ They use it in their combines and it keeps the rodents away also keeps it under the seat of his 54 Olds.

    That's what I've done. I used ford Aerostar coils and moved the spring pocket to the bottom of the lower A-arm. Chevy 10 bolt rear axle with 3" lowering blocks out back. I like how it looks but you have to be careful (as with most lowered cars) around railroad tracks, potholes, speed bumps etc. I believe I showed how I lowered it on my build thread. I'm thinking Andydodge has the tire size figured out way better than me though.

    Sorry Bill, I looked though my photos for that day and it looks like I didn't take any of my 40. You'll have to settle for this picture take last weekend at the Ladysmith car show. My oldest decided to keep her ole dad company on Saturday. We had one heck of a good time checking out the cars, having lunch and doing the poker walk at the local shops but our Ace/King/Queen high flush wasn't enough to win.

    You're welcome. Little more info on the cars. The Dodge towing the Boler is a right-hand drive from new Zealand. I think I was told that the 1927 Essex was all original and unrestored. The black '35 Plymouth is one of dpollo's as is the two-toned '40.

    Hit the limit so here's a few more.

    Thought everyone might enjoy a few pictures from the weekend. Every year residents of shawingan lake celebrate the area's heritage and as part of the goings-on there is a car show organised by Dpollo on this forum. The weather was perfect and it was a nice group of cars, a very enjoyable day. I'm sure it wasn't intentional but flathead engines seemed to be the order of the day.

    On the farm we always used a block of wood and a sharp axe. Nice clean cut and even the right lenghts if your hand/eye coordination was any good.

    Yup, I don't mind that at all!

    Thanks for checking into that Andyd. I was hoping for a cool werid production story but I guess but as usual the simplest solution wins. Lol

    Being the owner of a 1940 Plymouth 2 door sedan and having block sanded that body multiple times I consider myself quite familiar with the details of the body. Can someone tell me where the stamped lines on the fenders went on this fairly stock looking black 40 for sale on eBay?

    I've been wondering about dropped uprights. Can you use 15" wheels with Fatman dropped uprights and still maintain your scrub line?

    We have in our Boneyard a 61 Buick that has a backwards printed speedometer. You look at it's reflection in a mirrior that is adjustable to suit different height drivers.

    Yeah, it's on the wrong side of the car! Seriously though I always loved the marble/mother of pearl look on a steering wheel.

    This is I think where my love of old vehicles started. My dad had one very similar to this and my earliest memories are riding/sleeping on the seat while he worked.

    Here's the dash out of my 40 Plymouth. The original gauges were in really bad shape and I was missing the center section so I decided to customize. I used the gauges out of a 48 ford and made the glove box door to match the shape, Speaking of which, anybody know what year glove box push button latch will interchange with the 1940, as you can see I'm needing one.
  18. 40plyrod
    I like your plans. Definitely going to be a shock to some when you open the hood! I'll keep watching.

    Jakub, your english is good. That is a very interesting story. Thank you for posting.

    Thank you. I'm enjoying "playing" with the Plymouth again. The planned projects this year are small with the intention of keeping the car drive-able each weekend.The funny part of taking stock of how far I've come is lately I've been looking though old pictures as I move them off our computer and onto a stick and I don't remember half the things I did!

    Wrinkles are one problem but no matter how clean my hands would be It would still end up covered in fingerprints!
  22. 40plyrod
    Very nice job. Sounds like it should be called the Frank Sinatra special, " I did it my way" Beautiful car!!!
  23. 40plyrod
    Thank you. Its been customized, my 40 was a base model roadking and the gauges were shot so it. The gauge cluster is out of a 48 Ford pickup, the center grill is out of a 48 Plymouth and I made the glove box to mimic the gauge cluster shape.

    Really nice work. My hat is off!

    I bought the material from my local upholsterer. I can't remember the name of it right now (sign of old age starting) but it's basically cut pile carpet without the plastic backing. It's specifically for areas where normal carpet would have trouble conforming. The only drawback so far is it's only available in black or grey.
