DJ194950 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Posted December 22, 2017 There is a reprinted Mopar repair manual for 1946-1950 Plymouth cars (originally printed 1950) that has frame specs done with drawings of all mouthing points for motor and original transmission with measurements for frame straightening etc. of the 1946 thru 1950 per model/years. Your fame appears to be cut up some for a different motor/transmission. Also the driver side rear end kick up of the frame looks to have been replaced and is flattened out. I would post a picture or two of the mentioned frame pictures but my printer/scan machine decided it was tired and not working properly. Pretty sure others on this forum have the same repair manual and can look to the frame section and copy to the forum.for you. DJ 2 Quote
DJ194950 Posted December 26, 2017 Report Posted December 26, 2017 Attempting to post frame specs from repair manual I mentioned. DJ Seems that I can still do scans even though the printer to cop[y is not working on my printer, hope this can help some! 1 Quote

Going to print it and checking on my car tomorrow. I ordered the manual, but have to wait for it coming from US to Cairo for a while I think... Greatings Quote
Vin's 49 Plymouth Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 I have a 49 1st series and completely restored the frame. I will include some photos. 1 1 Quote
knuckleharley Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 Looks like you did a nice job. When are you going to start on the body? Quote

Vin's 49 Plymouth Posted January 4, 2018 Report Posted January 4, 2018 I do have a photo from the front after sand blasting. And my resent photo I will include as well. 1 Quote
Vin's 49 Plymouth Posted January 4, 2018 Report Posted January 4, 2018 I had taken the body off the rotisserie in November or so. Here is another view from the side. Triple carbs and painted fire wall matching the 1948 Airwing grey. 2 Quote
