BobT-47P15 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 Yeah.....pretty wierd. I saw that post. I don't much like it, at least the paint job. The grille is kinda nice. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 wouldn't make a decent pimple on the butt of a NASCAR clone Quote
Niel Hoback Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 Yikes! All that work for nought. Quote
JIPJOBXX Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 Anybody got a barf bag???? A couple of years ago at one our local swap mets up here there was a couple like this but not painted. The guy had the trim parts in the trunk and I made him an offer of 15 dollars for all the trim and he took it!!!! The car itself well it looked like this but the trim well it was a great find. Quote
Uncle-Pekka Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 It's kinda hard to say anything definite by a couple of small photos, but there are lots of good in that as well... Well, of course it is nowhere near to NASCAR, never mind past or present. The roof is awful - I would not mind the chopping (actually I've lately grown to LIKE a top chop well done...), but the WAY he'd done it. Closing the quarter windows is a CRIME. That was for the BAD & The UGLY The GOOD: The concept of the custom grille is OK - cannot comment quality by the photo, but there's potention in it. Front bumper looks good on it. The wheels I like - simple but tasty. The fat butt is great (That's my fetish, I also have soft spot for JLo ;-) And FINALLY, Yes, I like the paint job. I do feel it becomes the curves of the body - Also I somehow associate it to New Orleans creole woodoo etc. Someone tell him to make a camouflage paint on the top to hide the crime from public eye. He should be able to pull it through with his stripe sable... Quote
Don Coatney Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 Yeah.....pretty wierd. I saw that post. I don't much like it, at least thepaint job. The grille is kinda nice. Bob; I agree to disagree. The grill is very nice looking on a 1948 Buick. But it should stay on the Buick as in my opinion it looks like crap on a Plymouth. Same as a Plymouth grill would look like crap on a Buick. Guess it is time for a new thread. Quote
Barabbas Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 I think I'm going to have nightmares todnite. I wonder if that Plymouth is "Christine's" mother Quote
BeBop138 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 I think I'm going to have nightmares todnite.I wonder if that Plymouth is "Christine's" mother Good line---how would ya like to look in your rear view and see them eyes----YIKES!!!! Quote
Barabbas Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 I know those eyes are freaky. The really scary thing is---I kinda like it, in a macabre way Quote
RobertKB Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 I would rather see a car crushed rather than have that happen to it. Just remove all the good parts first. That is no longer a P15. Quote
Flatie46 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 I don't care for the paint at all. The car might be ok to beat around in but I'd have to rattle can it be for I left. Thats my opinion, it can be yours if ya want. Quote
Greenbomb Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 Not my cup of tea-but, then, I don't particularly like tea. But, he likes it, so that's all that really matters. I do appreciate the fact that he's got what it takes to do all that work. It would be way beyond me. Quote

Rather crushed? Robert, that's pretty much said! As far as I'm concerned this hobby is private business, everyone for himself. I agree with you when you say it's no longer P15, but not for the grille, paint job, not even the top chop - He replaced the heart&soul by chevy 350+350TH; to me that's when the car ceased to be a '47 Plymouth. Even then - it's his decision and he will live with that. I'd never will buy the remands no more. But would gladly buy the original powertrain if I should have aP15 in my garage. Maybe somebody did got a good flattie and he's got a car he likes - happy end? As long he does good job that he can honestly call his own and be happy with - it is a happy end. Quote
