Rodney Bullock Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 I have been looking for the next adventure, before I got sic I had visited a couple of places that had some real nice projects. I looked at a 1954 Dodge, 1947 chevy, 1936 Plymouth. This car I gave alot of thought however I could not determine what make it was:rolleyes: I got to get started I just can't keep out of trouble Quote
Jim Yergin Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Rodney, Better get started if you are going to make it to Sully. Sorry to hear you were sick but glad you are now feeling better. Jim Yergin Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 I think this is to much trouble, plus it's not a Mopar. I need to kill to birds with one stone. Mopar and a convertible:) No more Chevy's If I could find a low low low priced convert like Bob T I would be set. All this because I don't have a project for this winter:confused: Could it be that my hands are Idle. Quote
RobertKB Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Rodney, if you want a mopar and a convertible and a project, take the roof off your Plymouth. Just kidding. I am glad you are feeling well enough to tackle another project as I thought the Stude was your last. I said I would never do another project after my body-off on the '38 Chrysler but if I could find just what I want that did not involve going as deeply, I am ready also. Quote
Normspeed Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 With your skills this would take maybe a month to restore. Quote

Rodney Bullock Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 Thanks JIm, you guy's are a laugh riot:D yeah that door is just slightly out of adjustment. I know I said the Stude would be my last. I am just flexing Beer Muscles. I don't have another car in me, unless it's a 1957 Ford fairlane 500 convertible. I got to have one of these cars:cool: it is the ultimate cool machine. Cutting the top off my Plymouth.......not a bad idea..... I'm woke! Quote
B-Watson Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 If you really want that 1936 Chev, you will have to bone up on your woodworking skills - the frame of the body is wood, not steel! GM was the last company to switch to all-steel bodies (1937). Bill Vancouver, BC Quote
PatS.... Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Maybe Norm should do a series of New Yankee Workshops on automotive woodwork Maybe rebuild a Chevy, then a Chrysler T&C He's done furniture up the ying yang over 20 yrs, time for something very different! Quote

If anyone can revive this one you can, you da man.........Fred Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Posted January 20, 2009 The 1936 requires alot of wood. I was looking inside while I was there and you can see all the work that it would need. I help a guy with a 1936 caddy and he nade most of the rear seating area wood I was in heaven. I bet Norm could reproduce evey wooden part. They do have patterns, we are so lucky our Plymouths are all steel bodies. Rockwood your car is very straight. I gotta understand that I have an obsession with cars. I have a motto, "If I do something evryday evntually I will finish" It's worked so far. I do want to do an antique again however I need something "easy":rolleyes: I have tackled some real dogs in the past. Quote
Young Ed Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Rodney you could always do something like this with that 36 Quote

Rodney she is up this point now, I could easily have here finished, but it's all about cash or lack of it in my case. I really shouldn't even be in this game, at this point in my life, no money to move this project ahead. I am able to get the odd thing done, but these are only little micro steps.......................Fred Quote
Jim Yergin Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 . . . we are so lucky our Plymouths are all steel bodies. Are you sure about that Rodney? Jim Yergin Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Posted January 20, 2009 Rodney you could always do something like this with that 36 Hey Ed, now I could really go for that, give a glass of milk and two weeks and I would be driving that to the store:D That car would be easy. I think I have those rear fenders in my wood shed. Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Posted January 20, 2009 Jim, Ed I forgot about those models, wood is still in our lives. You see how different these models are, I'm talking about inner wood not outter:) wow lots of lemon pledge in you'alls future:D Quote
Don Coatney Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 wood is still in our lives. Wood is still in my life sometimes. Quote
