    I call this "hidden soul" Don't ask if you don't understand. By the way does anyone have extra factory screws that hold down the plug covers?

    Thanks guys for all the help.....Im not looking to match perfectly or win any awards. The blue firewall is the only part of the car that is stock and I would like to fog in a few spots and maybe more to help me achieve more of a "found" look and hopefully not a "fake" look. Im stuffing a 1954 331 Chrysler Hemi where is was never meant to be. I have original silver valve covers and black plug cover with factory stickers on the inside. Im trying to make it look like a barn find...without being fake about it. Although the new looking frame might be a give away. Good thing she has air ride so you can see it.

    I plan on keeping my firewall the stock factory color but would also like find the factory color in a rattle can so I can fog in a little where I do my modifications. Can I get the color in a rattle can?

    I took 3 inches out of my stock ones to keep the stock look under the hood. Lots of work but worth it.

    Hey guys i have changed the rear end in my 49 plymouth to a much higher gear out of a 68 mustang. It runs and drives great. Little high geared in town but not too bad on the high way. Now heres the dumb question. What thinking about installing a T5 or i have access to an OD out of a 53 plymouth. What ya think?? Are there any threads on here about converting to a T5?? Would the OD out of the 53 bolt right up with no issues??? Thanks matt

    My motor is stock other than the split exhaust manifold and langdon's HEI. My car runs perfect with no problems, but would be fun to have a dual setup. Thanks matt

    Hey guys i have an awesome running stock 218. I really love the look of the dual carb setup but was wondering if its worth the cash???' Will i feel a noticable difference??? I currenly have split manifold and HEI Thanks matt

    What did you find out when you did this. My back part appears to bolt right up. Will have to modify the bottom because of drive shaft issues.

    my 2dr is a club coupe and which didnt have a back seat in it when i got it (actually didn't have any seats) and my 4dr has a nasty back seat but its all there. I think they will fit each other. Just tried putting the 4dr seat in my 2dr and i think it will fit. My floor has been modified for the air ride and will require some seat modification to work. Just wondering Thanks matt

    Hey guys I have a 49 plymouth 4dr parts car and my chopped daily driver 49 plymouth 2dr. Did plymouth use the same back seat in these cars?? Thanks matt

    Hey guys. I have a 49 plymouth with a rear end out of a late 60's mustang. It is super high geared now and i have learned to live with it but was wondering if i could swap out the trans for a T5 and get a lower 1st gear and a taller 5th gear? Any ideas or would i just be wasting my time? Thanks matt

    A friend of mine just bought a 52 chrysler and may be in need of some parts. I have a 49 plymouth parts car and was wondering what would interchange. Thanks matt
  23. tankwilson

  24. tankwilson
    on a 49 plymouth four door and 49 plymouth club coupe???? What all rear fenders will bolt up to a 49 club coupe??? Thanks matt

    Hey guys my parts car has a trans in the trunk. I think it is a stock 3 speed for a 49 plymouth. How do i tell if it is OD? Can i put and OD in my 49 218? It has the stock 3 speed in it now. Thanks matt
