Young Ed Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 Combining a truck and a car has been in the back of my mind for quite some time. I've thought about the car body with the truck front clip too but I think a p15 pickup would be much cooler. Quote
Captain Neon Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 Combining a truck and a car has been in the back of my mind for quite some time. I've thought about the car body with the truck front clip too but I think a p15 pickup would be much cooler. I've seen a few home-made P15 PUs in an old SD juncqueyard. Very cool! My dad and I both had to fight the urge to bring one back to MN. I'd be very interested in seeing what you and Carmen can put together. Thinking of Plymouth vehicles that never were, I believe dndrodshop was building a P15 sedan delivery. I would love to see some new pictures of that build. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 Rat Rod...you mean Cat Rod...not sure about you but I swear that is a Siamese variety cat on that cowl Quote
1941Rick Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 Looks like it is CAT powered. Interesting it is on a Cutlass chasis. Quote
PatS.... Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Posted May 7, 2011 Rat Rod...you mean Cat Rod...not sure about you but I swear that is a Siamese variety cat on that cowl looks like the front fenders have been siamesed as well Quote
Andydodge Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Does it come with the cat?..........oops on second thoughts maybe not...........looks like that cat is about to leave its calling card on the cowl.........I'd do the same..................lol.............dunno about a cat rod but its surely a craprod............barffff............andyd Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 other than the wrong chassis beneath the body the car has the amkings for anice rod...the fact it is unfinished, no paint etc etc leaves too much to ones imagination..actually when completed the looks of the car can compete with any shark nose out there however, its hard to cash a check based on potential..

BobT-47P15 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 Those front fenders, in that one picture, look too big and bulky. Quote

I've thought about the car body with the truck front clip too but I think a p15 pickup would be much cooler. A National Woodie Club member, who is a builder of scale model woodies gave me his version of a really nice looking 1940 Ford Convertible, that he had created to look like a post war Ford Convertible Sportsman. It looks like the Sportsman that Henry Ford should have built. Every time I look at it, I wish I had the resources to custom build a P15 roadster/convertible "Sportsman Styled" one-of-a-kind Plymouth Sportsman Woodie Phantom. There is one really nice looking "Phantom Sportsman Ford Postwar Roadster" in the Woodie World; built from several parts cars and not one original convertible was injured or harmed in the production. This is a URL to a Flickr photo, regarding the concept of a P15 Sportsman: http://www.flickr.com/photos/outletphoto/5458496095 This is an actual Plymouth Woodie Convertible: http://tiny.cc/8dnw0 Edited May 9, 2011 by Charlie Olson Quote
47heaven Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Can it still be restored back to original? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 probably if you had access to the parts and deep wallet.and the main deciding factor is if it a good candiate for this..odds are it was not in the beginning thus the condition it is now in..could have been the entire nose was crunched of the original car...we do not see floors/rockers and rear trunk panels where the main rot on these bodies occur..the basic tub appears solid.. so, if you take the economical cost compared to economic gain/return for the time and money invested..would it balance out to be a wise investment..odds are it will not..odds are this same equation is represented here by the PO making due with what he had..or more in my line of thinking..visions of granduer with no skill/resources to back up his vision..

RobertKB Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Now that it has a Dodge front end on it does it make it kinda like a Canadian Dodge D25??? Quote
Young Ed Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Its not quite as nice as this factory built one Quote
RobertKB Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Glad to see whoever owns car/truck has the Union Jack the right way up. Seriously, there is a wrong way and a right way to fly the Union Jack. I have seen it upside down even in Britain. Scroll down to "Flying". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Flag Quote
Young Ed Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Thats in a museum somewhere so hopefully they did their homework creating the display. I believe thats an australian created "pickup" Quote

Scroll down to "Flying".http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Flag That brings back some lessons from the best principal ever...W.H. Broadberry. And the best teachers name for kids ever He taught us all about the Union Jack because he was born and raised in Britain. He read Shakespeare the best as well. Thanks for jogging the memories Robert Quote
