Newby To Mopars

[randys toys]

Figured i'd better get busy and post,new to mopars but not to the early iron,buddy had a collection of mostly plymouths and i did some trading w/him and now i own a half dozen mopar cars ranging from 1938-51,the two i like the most are the 41 & 51 business coupes,not sure what to do first but looks to be fun projects,here's the 41 w/38 parked next to it and here's the 51

[Young Ed]

Wow you jumped right in with that collection. Do you have the front clips for the 41 and 38?

[RobertKB]

Welcome to the forum. Great start and good looking projects. These old Mopars are pretty straight-forward. If you have the missing front clips it will make your projects easier as mentioned.

Randy, Welcome to the best flathead site on the WWW. You've got enough to keep ya busy for awhile. I've got a P-12 1941 Plymouth.

Tom

[randys toys]

Thanks Guys, got the 51 b.coupe to pop a few times but points need adjusted,thats a mighty small dist. to set points in,lol,put a new fuel pump in and rebuilt the carb,once i get it running then off to the brakes, hear they are fun,guess i'll jump in w/both feet

[greg g]

Easiest way is to pull the dist and do the points on the bench. The dist can only go in correct or 180 off so just note where the rotor points.

[BobT-47P15]

That hood on the right looks like a 46-48 item.......

The one wrapped up with wood support strikes me as more like a

1949 or 50 type. Just guessing, of course.

Welcome and have fun with your cars.

[Charlie Olson]

I really like those 49 bumpers. I may have a set to put on PLYWOOD, as we move forward to repair it.
