chopt50wgn Posted December 1, 2011 Report Posted December 1, 2011 She finally came down off the stands. Wanted to see how the stance looks. I think it is just right.............getting there. Using a fabbed roll pan instead of rear bumper w/ frenched license plate. Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted December 1, 2011 Report Posted December 1, 2011 Oh yeah! The stance is perfect! Quote
Robert Horne Posted December 1, 2011 Report Posted December 1, 2011 Your project looks:cool: excellent............. Love the look of the rear.... Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 Car looks good............also, nice garage. Quote
old rat 49 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 My favorite MOPAR. Stance and chop are beautiful. Quote
JIPJOBXX Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 Very cool and looks great!!!!! Keep up the good work! Quote
chopt50wgn Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Posted December 2, 2011 I appreciate all the good things you guys are saying . I also want to say how much respect I have for all of you in this forum. I also hope someone can help me with getting new hinge pins for the doors on my wagon. Started to get doors aligned and found hinge pins are worn. Need to find out what diameter and how long they are. Quote
Frank Elder Posted December 3, 2011 Report Posted December 3, 2011 This is in no way a dig or a sarcastic remark because I really like what youv'e done with your wagon, after making it so smooth and custom, are you going with hidden hinges on your gate in the back? Or do you like what's on there now? Quote
chopt50wgn Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Posted December 3, 2011 Well, you know I saw one that had hidden hinges and I did like the look. But I also like the hinges and am going to keep them out. Am kinda mixing things up with some custom and old school looks. Quote
Frank Elder Posted December 3, 2011 Report Posted December 3, 2011 That is why it is wonderful to do what you want with your car.....unless you are like me and have to answer to the wife:D:D Quote
1955 plymouth Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 LIKE....oh, sorry, this isn't facebook... I love it! keep the pictures coming! Quote
chopt50wgn Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Posted December 6, 2011 Am very fortunate in having a great wife.......have had friends say I have a pretty understanding wife, I tell them kiddingly, well, she's pretty........she backs me in everything I want to do on or to the car. I also know when it comes to house or family, they are 1st priority and car is 2nd.......she knows I know that. Quote
fstfish66 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 super kool project,,,from the head lite area it looks like a glass front end ?? Quote
chopt50wgn Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Posted December 9, 2011 I see what you mean by looking at the front fenders. Beleive me they are steel and the angle is making it look like that. The fenders have Hagan frenched buckets in them . Quote
fstfish66 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 cant wait to see it out and about Quote
GaryPrice Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 I can't wait to see that one complete. Are you keeping it Mopar? Quote
chopt50wgn Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Posted December 23, 2011 Motor is a mild 360 w/727 auto......hope to get 18-20 mpg. I had a 66 Pro-street Dart.........4 mpg, couldn't hear yourself think 3" exhaust, 550 HP, basically a racecar for the street, 10 sec 1/4 mile.............a fun car......but now I'm looking for the creature comforts..........radio you can hear, fully insulated, PS/PB, good MPG.............everything the Dart was, this won't be. Quote
GaryPrice Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 63 Dart. I really liked it, but with two in college and a host of medical bills, wife said one of the old cars had to go, so I kept the Plymouth. I pulled the leaning tower of power and bought a newly rebuilt 360 long block from a guy that claimed it was stock other than an "RV" cam. I can't verify this, as it was way stout. I got a free 8" Ford rear and stuck under it out of a Maverick, with a 2.76 gear. Didn't even have to modify the spring perches, direct bolt in. Weiand Stealth intake, Eddy 650AVS and it'd bark the tires at 45MPH when I got on it. Pegged the speedo a few times, but never had it to the track. I figured with the gear, it would be slow outta the hole. I like my old PLymouth better though. It's just a driver, but having the all Mopar drive train, I didn't go to a single show this year that somebody didn't try to buy it. I NEVER thought about pricing it. I've had a '72 Challenger 340 Ralleye, '67 Belvedere, '79 Warlock that I should never had sold. Plus, the wife really likes riding in this one. Quote
fstfish66 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 sunset dart i know that feeling,, i have a prostreet baracuda flow masters,,,super charged 4 speed,,fun car around town,,and i do drive it as far as the gas stations will aloow,,,5 mpg around town 10 on the turnpike,,, 2 holly 650 that now flow 862 cfm each swapped out a 4.56 rear gear for a 3.91 so i can drive the interstate a little easier,, but i cant wait to get my 40 coupe back up and running so i can also hear the radio,,,turn on the a/c..and cruise to an event,,, Quote
