p17sub Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Anyone know if there was any difference between 1951 p20 suburban firewall and 1949 suburban? Ordered a recessed one for my 49 and tried fitting it to my 51 and it's not quite right where the bend is for the toe board to start.

Plymouthy Adams Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 more than not there would be a bit of subtle differences between the 49/50 and the 51/52 at and around the cowl and the shape did change a bit between these models in width and shape in and about the door curve.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) something tell me that; ONE that is not the item inquired of originally.....and TWO it does not closely resemble original...Third, it was not you intent to look original....that will be a good look for a custom Edited May 22, 2020 by Plymouthy Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p17sub Posted May 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 No it's not supposed to be original. It's meant to be a street rod. The body should remain original looking, no chops or frenched anything. I might cut the window post out though and make a solid glass panel. Mustang 2 front, Explorer diff, turbo Ls. It's my Johnny Cash mutt meant for fun. Should be pretty quick. And before anyone says it, if a purist guy wants a Mopar engine I will gladly accept a donation of a Hell Cat engine and plop it right in there.
