Projects 1934 Plymouth 2 door sedan build

More assembly... Starting to look like something. Need to sort out the radiator hoses and fan shroud then start wiring.
I ordered my front tires also.

 

I just stumbled onto this thread and wondered how'd I'd missed it previously, great progress and coming together nicely.

 

Got my front tires mounted

 

I really like those wheels Scott
Car is looking good!

 

Thats a big difference from that old mud lug and yellow wheel.

Looks great!

 

Thanks guys. Hope I get to drive it before the new tires age out... Been bustin ass on this thing lately, but progress still seems really slow!

 

Got most of the wiring done except the lights...
Still need to paint the tail light housings.

Also almost finished with the fan shroud.

 

Wow! coming along nicely
Nice work on that shroud

 

Scott, did you build that shroud or is off something else? Who widened your '36 Plymouth/'36 Dodge pickup rear wheels? Those look really great!

Dave

 

The shroud is from an early F100 I think, I had to heavily modify it. It was a huge pain in the ass but it should work out pretty good. I built the rear wheels using the hoops from some white spoke PU wheels.

 

Man of many talents!

Dave

 

Got the headlights on and wired up. Also finished up the brakes.

 

I finished up the brakes and steering. Wiring is all done. Exhaust almost done...
Getting closer.
Pic of the tail lights...

 

@RMR&C , Dang that's looking sharp!

Dave

 

Time for an update. Exhaust is finished, E brakes are done, throttle linkage done.
Ready to take for a drive as soon as the snow melts.
Dropped the seats off to get redone.... Should get them back by next year.
Working on glass patterns now.

 

Lookin great, I love the color. Cant wait to start my 34 Ply project

 

looks great! really like the tail lights and gas tank area- very cool

 

Finally got my glass cut and managed to get the w/s into the frame without breaking it. This old chrome frame is OE to the car, and not great, but will work til I find a better one.

 

Nice!!
I'm pretty jealous, you're going to be on the rood soon. Going to be a good summer

 

All the glass is in......the windshield frame is fixed, no swing out.

 

Also got the door lock working and a new key made.

 

It's been a hectic summer but I'm back on this again. Been working on the top insert, have the wood mostly sorted.
My seats are in upholstery jail since April...

 

wood looks top of the range

 

It's coming along real nice ! So what are the plans for the top? Chicken wire and batting or masonite and foam? I did the masonite and foam on the General and it turned out fine.
You gonna have it ready for Bonneville 2023?

 

Thanks Jeff! How ya been?
No chicken wire.....I have a plan, using plywood strips and foam. Will see how it works out....
How thick is the foam? Glued down I assume?

 

I used 1/4 inch landau foam from an upholstery shop. I glued it to the masonite and sanded the edges to blend them out . I made a frame of 2x2 's and stapled my vinyl to it and stretch it out , then I glued the vinyl to the foam. I trimmed it and used hidem to finish the edge.
I finally got the coupe on the road a couple weeks ago...loud , uncomfortable , smelly and quick enough for me....I'm having fun!
Cheers!

 

Got my seats back from upholstery jail. Yes they are modern seats. No I don't care.

 

That’s all right, in fact it’s a gas. Lol

 

Top insert frame glued and screwed.

 

I'm not a wood worker, I don't really have the correct tools or the patience for it.
The 1/4 inch ply doesn't bend 2 directions so I am cutting it into strips. It will get glued and sealed up with epoxy resin.
