(Proyect) 1953 Plymouth Hardtop

[moparfreak_bmx]

Last week I got myself a barn find Plymouth 1953 from an old man that thought it was a 51' dodge, real cheap deal, it's got the flathead six and most parts, lots of metal work to do yet. This is how it arrived at home last weekend.

That's a pretty rare old car that is IMHO well-worth fixing. I have no only seen worse,I own worse.

did you get a title?  If he thought it was a Dodge and it's a Plymouth I'd think he would have seen that on the title.  If you didn't get a title, I wouldn't sink much money in it until I did.

No, I haven't just bought it as scrap, here almost all old cars have 'switched' titles, which I'm planning to do the same

it's pretty fine actually for a driver, no show car intended, I'm hyped on this build. Can't wait to hit the road with it !

NOT a good plan. Anything other than a title with numbers that match those on the car that name it as a 1953 Plymouth means you will have spent all that time and money on a car you can't sell for anything but parts.

Knuckle that's why I mentioned it.
