plymouthasc Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 What a great job! I'm guessing that doing the video is as time consuming, if not more, than building the car. Obviously a labor of love and we are all the benefactors of you multiple effort. Your research, attention to detail and commitment to document the project sets a standard. Thank you!Now that the car is nearly finished, do you have another project in the wings? Thanks for the nice remarks. I do have a couple of cars. I have a 1928 Victory Six Dodge that is fairly complete but not driveable. I have a 1951 GMC five window pick-up. I haven't decided what to do next.

plymouthasc Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Mark, How many people are helping you assemble the P12? Just curious.Tom Mostly just me, except for the work that is done professionally (like the upholstery). One of my kids comes by or a friend at times to help with things that take two people (like hanging the doors, trunk lid, hood, etc.) Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Like California, Tennessee also allows the use of YOM tags. I was fortunate to pick up this pair a few years back. The interesting thing about the Tennessee tags is they were made in the shape of the state is some Tennessee prison. I had a forum member re-paint my tags. But after a lot of miles they are showing some age again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1940plymouth Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 New York also allows YOM plates. I found mine at the car show in Norwich, NY about twenty years ago, had them redone by a friend of mine, also beginning to show wear, but then again so is the car. By the way, our plates are made at the Max Prison in Auburn, NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have YOM plates on both the 46 and 48 and just bought this plate for my next truck-1940 plymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertKB Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 The province of Alberta in Canada also allows you to run YOM plates. Most people mistake my plates for 1949 but they are actually 1948 plates. After Alberta it has EX 31.3.49 which just means they were good until March 31, 1949. Hey, I just realized that plate was legal when I was born.......February 26, 1949. At that time everyone had to renew their plates by the end of March. Nowadays it varies and can be renewed any month. My modern plates all expire at the end of each November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no VIN for pre-1958 Plymouths, just a serial number, engine number and body number. All different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen some that are very visible. Mine is clearly there, and I can read it, but I have to get the light reflecting off it just right. You may need to check carefully.

plymouthasc Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I will post a new video before the show. I was out of town for a few days and now I am rushed to finish the project in time for the Plymouth Owners' Club meet in Pacific Grove, CA. As an update, the upholstery is done. It took me a entire day to get all the stainless trim back on the grill. That was a real pain. I still need to put the hood and the front bumper back on. Once that is done it will be off to DMV for the visual inspection so I can get my new tag. I also want to have the alignment checked. There are a couple of other things that need to be finished, but I will explain in the next video. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Olson Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 In AZ, we are also allowed to use YOM plates. I bought this plate from a guy who specializes in old plates and gas station metal signs. This plate is original, non restored. I get a lot of comments and compliments on it. Back view of RED RYDER.

plymouthasc Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hi! Thanks for waiting to see the video of my car finished. I posted a new video with clips from the POC National Summer Meet in Pacific Grove. Please share the link with anyone who may not follow the the forum, but is mentioned in the video. I also explain in the video if I will continue to make more videos. I really have appreciated all the support I received through this thread.

RobertKB Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Mark, I am really glad to see you met your goal of getting the car ready for the Nationals. Congratulations on a job well done and the award. Well deserved! I look forward to future videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwrstory Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I too wish to thank you for the videos. Well done! I suspect that the journey, the videos and the restoration, was the reward and the 1st at the POC gathering was just icing on the cake. You've got to be proud (and relieved) and looking forward to your next project(s). Thanks again. You have been a great inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
