Hot Rods Talk me out of a gasser street car

Build it, you may hate it or love it, if you don't build it you will hate yourself!

 

Why build a G***er for a street car? A G***er is for the track. I build all my cars for performance and many times I've had to give up the urge to street race when someone pulls up next to me at a stop light. Way too risky from many aspects.

 

How about early 30's Mopar?

 

35 Plymouth partially mocked up.

 

Looks like you found your car! Can't wait to see a build on it!

Mopar G***er you say? Cant stand them, especially with early Hemis! This 1937 Dodge has ceased control of all my free time the last two years!

 

Whatever you pick for a project, start with a whole car in the best shape you can afford. In the long run that $1400 shell and frame cost way more to build then starting with a roller or better. My Dad still looks at the first pictures of the Dodge when we got it and wonders what the hell he saw in it? Calling it a picked over parts car may have been a compliment at that time.

 

I ran at track in the 80’sl

Very nice. Plymouth’s are solid cars. I wound up chopping but had car over 35 years.

Very, very nice car. See my Avatar. My 37 Dodge coupe (and me), but 57 years ago. Cadillac engine, Oldsmobile Hydro and Ford rear.

 

Well . . . Chrysler owns AMC Jeep which is a daughter of Willys so by rights, a Willys is a Mopar. we all know they offered blown 392s as a standard factory option back in the day.

 

If ya want to do a Plymouth I would say do a 32, 33, 34 or 41 Coupe. To me those are the best looking Mopars.

 

My nephew has a 34 Plymouth coupe that my brother bought in 1969. Nice looking hot rod.
