I've got some thing to drive to the roundup

I bought this from a friend of mine this weekend. So I'll be at the round up in a car. I've got a good size list of things to get done. I'm stoked.

 

Wicked car! I always liked that style of Mopar. Good luck with it.

...nice little car there,...I've always liked those 50-54 Plymouths. They are kinda like a "forgotten" car...you don't see too many around, but that seems to be changing lately. Problem in the rust-belt is they usually are pretty rusty underneath.
...whatcha runnin for drivetrain? I see it's got pipes comin out of both front fenders.

 

I like it!!

 

Sweet !!!!!

 

It has a 302 and a C6 in it, with the stock rear end. The rpms are alittle high on the freeway, but not too bad, it will eventually get a 9 inch. It runs about 60 at 3 grand, atleast I'm not getting run of the road.

I don't have a pic, but he had a set of new plymouth dogdish center caps, the ones with the script and the boat, in red. They look good on the car.

 

One of these with the right pipes on the stock engine it is a memory you never forget ...
302

 

My first car was a 69 cougar with a windsor, I definetly have a soft spot for small block fords with open exhoust. One of my favorite motors....mechanically. they aren't the most nostalgic looking, they take a little more effort, but I like em, they put the distributor in the right place....haha

 

the pipes on that thing are way cool

 

Big Ric machined them out of a chunk of steel, so I'm told. Mark says I have to give them back or Ric will be pissed, haha. I have another set so it's not a big deal. They aren't as loud as you would think.

 

Mark told me this morning that he sold it, good to see it go to a HAMBer.

 

I asked him if I should just give the money to you. he said yeah. I might have some more business for you soon, a friend of mine.

 

bad***! it's pretty small reminds me of a drag car.

 

FAWKIN AWESOME MAN!!!!!

I likes it a lot!

I can wait to caravan to Austin either checkin out that *** or watching ya in the rearview.

 

...what was done to get that thing sittin so nice?

 

springs cut and blocks in the back.

It has about 2 inches of suspension. I think I'll get some dropoed kingpins for it at then I can use the factory length springs, and actually have a suspension. It doesn't ride too bad though.

 

Frenched headlights....sheeet your throwin down like a Mo-Town clown
(that means GOOD)

 

Good for you John. Now bring it by the shop so we can cut that firewall out!

 

Very nice, John!! I can't wait to go for a spin..

Congrats on you buy, you'll be looking cool at the round up.

 

I've always had a soft spot for that car... congrats on a sweet purchase!

 

Another Ford powered Mopar? LOL!

 

The more I looked at it, the more it grew on me! I think I like it! Kinda different, stubby top, short overhang, I guess I never paid much attention to them. Congrats on the new ride! Now, HAMMERTIME

 

I Freakin' love that ride!
