Hot Rods Calling all mopars

Picked this up mainly because the price was right. 1953 Chrysler. Not my first choice, but it's a pretty solid two-door hardtop. I think I might be able to do something with it. Did some test fitting. Gathering parts.

 

Low smooth family car please

My old '48 Plymouth with a 440.

 

Nice 48. How about mor pictuers?

 

Thanks, don't have many pictures because I didn’t have it very long. Here's how the current owner finished it off.
Here’s another '48 I had before that one.
And the '48 Dodge I'm working on now.

 

I love the '33s & '34s.
Earlier ones are cool, too.

Can some of you guys verify a couple things for me?

1. Early Mopar frames were boxed from the factory. Actually two rails mated to make one. Seems to me I actually saw this on a 1933 pickup truck.
2. Early Mopar bodies didn't have a lot of wood in them. Maybe less than Ford?

Thanks.

 

Thanks that was the only day it hasn’t broke the rear end in it

This is the frame of my 31 Chrysler it wasn't boxed but this is how we boxed it in and as far as wood in the car there was a wood frame around the inside of the rumble seat lid there was some wood on the inside just two tack interior too it was not structural and also a piece between the Body and Frame

 

1- The 33 34’s frame is boxed from the front to the x-member
2-My 34 Plymouth has very little wood

This has always intrigued me.
The only other "clutchamatic" I ever saw, I think was an early 70s Olds 442, Hot Rod Magazine I think. The owner said it shifted quite violently.
How's yours?

 

What clutch you run in it seems to be the big difference in mine. I have a Borg and Beck pressure plate with a 10.5 clutch disc. Went with sintered iron this time. Offers a little bit of slip on clutch release. Not overly street friendly. But it gets the job done.

Man i love darts

 

When they first installed the HEMI into the vehicles in the early 50, Chrysler felt that because of the advance engineering of the engine that it alone would sell the vehicles. Thus they did not do much to the outside design to those vehicles. While other corporations were aiming at making their vehicles long, low and lean, Chrysler was still making their rolling cigar box design without change. But when they did change they went way over to the other side.

 

this is my 31 chrysler cm 6

 

Where does a guy get a input shaft these days I need one for my clutch flight as it is broken I have everything else

My set up is a Winters. It was made here in Pa. Jim Kramer built my tranny with A&A transmission guts. Went with billet drum and 4 pin planetary's front and back. Here a pic of mine on the rebuild table. He has some stuff. I dont know the difference between the B&M and Winters kits as far as the input shaft goes. Give him a call at Kramer Automotive, tell him Troy Kennedy sent ya. Really nice people

Thanks for the compliment Slayer. Lil off topic, it has a 426 HEMI, blower, mechanical injection. Moved front wheels forward 9" and the wheel well frwd 8". Rearend moved back 2" and mini tubed. Recessed the firewall to move the big Hemi back enough to put a radiator in it. Used 4 speed shifters for the brake and clutch levers. Been a fun project. Be happy to get it out and drive it next year.

Blown, injected 426 Hemi off topic? Not to me it ain't. Totally bitchen ride

 

A blown, mechanical injected Hemi backed by a Clutchflite in an altered wheelbase Dart with leaf springs, slapper bars, and drum brakes. Totally insane! I dig the hell out of that.

 

my good buddy in High School had a 32 Plymouth coupe. once when speaking to someone else he said "my Dad and I restored it until it was junk", of course he meant it was junk and they restored it, I used to like to remind him of that at every chance I got. I always liked this body style, they are very cool looking cars.

this crappy photo is his actual car for sale at a classic car dealer after he passed about 10 years ago that I found online. it had a pinto motor in it at the time, the original motor grenaded years ago. I wonder whatever happened to it? had a 32 ford 3 window as well.

in High School I always ended up in the rumble seat since our other buddy was too pretty to mess up his hair sitting outside.



here's a better shot of a different car to show what they look like in a better picture.

 

I may have had a few Mopars. I'll post up pictures of some that fit within the HAMB boundaries. I didn't take many pictures of my stuff, and lost a lot of what I had through computer crashes over the years. I have a picture card that has a few more of the rides I've had, but I have no way or loading it on this computer. Gene

 

Thanks for the info I’ll give them a call also you have a real awesome car
