    Hi all,
    I just relocated from the UK to North Carolina, looking to buy/build a rod at some point. In the meantime, I hope to ship my '57 Plymouth over here from the UK, it's taken me since 1988 to just about finish it! It got flooded last December so started again on a bunch of things, but the insurance covered that. In the past I've had a '56 F100 (stock), a '64 Pontiac Parisienne convertible (RHD export model one of 52) and some British cl***ics.

    Big rockabilly/retro fan, so will be looking for a '50s style rod or custom.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Hi & welcome. The Plymouth sounds great & hope you get is shipped soon. My Plymouth is a 1950 Deluxe and almost done but is running & driving. A U.S. source for lots of Plymouth parts is www.kanter.com . I got a lot of engine parts there and also from www.robertsmotorparts.com. I know Kanter has parts for the 57's but not sure on Roberts, would just have to look & see.
    If you have photo's of the Plymouth post some here.
    Good luck, Jimmie

    Thanks, I've had parts from eBay, Bernbaum, Atlas Auto, John Fowlie and Rock Auto, most stuff can be found except some body panels. I'll post pics when I work out how!

    Hi. When redoing the body on my Plymouth I got a couple of the floor pan pieces and inner and outer rockers here -https://www.c2cfabrication.com/ Had to slightly reshape the outer rockers to add a bit more round to them to match. Common on aftermarket pieces for cars that old. Would do business there again if I ever need more panels. Jimmie
