Hello All. Been perusing the site for a couple years, but haven't taken the time to make a post... I've enjoyed many of the posts and picked up/learned a bit (most of it sticks) about the old mopars (my first). Love the lines on these cars. The pic is the day we gave her a ride to her new home. Body is sound and the six purrs like a kitten!!IMG_1490.JPG.2726130ec9baf70fc9e5744aebd3789b.JPG

Young Ed - We're about 3 hours north of you in the Grand Rapids area.

 

Niel - The interior is not worthy of a photo. Front seat is down to the springs and is covered with somebody's grandmother's curtains. The carpet remnants came from her house, too. I think I've seen better homeless accommodations...

 

Plans are to keep the six, lose the green paint, new wheels/tires, wiring and interior. Brakes are all new. Still kicking around the tranny and rear. Will take photos as I go!

losing the green paint.....are you staying with a lighter color...you have missing fender chrome on the front, void at the rear with the dealer optional D24 spears...a dark color will make the vehicle look bulky without the chrome to accent the lines.

This is the same color as my 46 (after I got down through two layers of other colors, one of which had been brushed on - thick).  I decided to put it back the original color,  even though I didn't care for it, either, not at first.  My personal advice would be to wait a while, and see if it doesn't grow on you.  Did for me, and I love that color now.  Don't know what I was thinking.

Nice I know a fellow plymouth guy up in that area. I'll invite you to our MN subgroup on here. 

 

Paint looks quite nice surprised to hear it's going away.

I like that color. Dress up the rims some and drive as is for a while, as stated above. Yet it's your car, maybe your wife can go Mary Kay and paint it pink! LOL
