Projects My 51 Plymouth work in progress.... (first build)

Whats going everyone, Ive been on the hamb for while but never put pics up of my 51. Its a 51 Plymouth Cranbrook 2 door sedan, with a flathead 6 board .030 over. Its my first car and my first kustom. I have a bunch of pics of work and progress over the past year or too. Shes come a long and still have a long way to go. Well here are a bunch of pics of what i call Abuela.

 

Nice goin. I always thought those old mopars would make a good 1st hotrod. They're a simple, rugged car. Sturdy if not fast. Yours looks like a lotta fun.
I once owned a small-box 55 dodge stepside, 6 cylinder/3 speed. Was reliable and with chrome reversed wheels, fresh gray primer and a lowering job it looked presentable. Keep on strokin.

 

more pics

 

A few more pics, The last few of the grill opening are of my most resent progress on her.

Thanx Rocky...

Thanx homie...

 

Great looking car and great progress!!

I have a weakness for the Mopars myself.


Keep the updates rolling.

Cool sound like a plan...

 

Thank you everyone....

 

This is one great looking car, nice work!

Your old Mopar is looking good. I like the work you're doing on the grill and the taillights.

 

I have to love what you have going on there.
this is whats going on in my garage right now.

Very inspirational.

 

Yall got it going man! My brother had a '49 back in the early '70's. My Mother gave $150. for it, and we went everywhere in that car. Hang on to it!

 

i have a 54 savoy....
are you still using the original fuel tank?
mine was filled w crap, cant find a new one anywhere.
any tips?

 

I still do not understand why these Mayflowers aren't more popular. Yours is certainly shaping up to be one handsome automobile. Very nice keep it up.

 

My original tank was the same and rotting, so no im not using it. LOL... What i did was buy a 13 gallon spun aluminum tank and mount it in my trunk.

 

Thank you for the kind words, more progress photos this week. Been working on the hood.

 

very nice. i like what you did with the grill surround. keep the pics coming.

 

That chop looks tight, thats my next winter project. How much did you take off the top? Are you running open lake pipes?

 

Thanx Homie....

 

Thanx homie...

 

did you get that car from cali?

i like what your doing with the grill
have fun and keep the pics coming
