Hello Everybody,
I would like to introduce myself and my newest vehicle. My name is Chuck 32 yrs old, turning 33 9/17 and I live in Quaker Hill, CT and have been in the local Hot Rod scene for the past 10 years or so. Currently I work for a Credit Union doing mortgage collections and am also a musician singing and playing alto and tenor sax. Married to my wonderful wife Becky going on 4 years Oct.3. Ok Ok Ok, enough of the little stuff, this past Sunday I loaded up my previous project a 1950 Buick Super and headed up to Gloversville, NY to look at the new project, a 1941 Plymouth Special Deluxe with a chevy 307 already installed, running and driving.
The Plymouth is in AMAZING shape and was well cared for thruout its life, solid as a rock with no rust on the car! All of the trim from the grill to the rear end in nicely wrapped and marked left and right side in the trunk. Once I saw the car I knew a deal had to be made and it was, I traded the Buick for the Plymouth straight up! Drove the Buick off the trailer and the Plymouth on the trailer and drove home.
Now, the car needs a few things and I was hoping I could enlist the help of all of you Mopar Guru's. As I said the car has a 307 installed with a turbo 350 auto trans, but it has the original rear end in it. I have heard of a few that can swap in very easily, Dakota, Explorer, Jeep, does anybody have any proof of that, maybe a few pictures?
The brakes are going to need the most immediate help as it seems that only the right side from wheel is catching at this point. My plan is to remove the dog house this weekend and check that all out and see what is causing this trouble. This winter I think I am going to install a Scarebird disc brake set-up with a dual master. I hope to hear from everybody real soon!
Cheers,
Chuck
