    A few thousand hours of labor and it could look just like this:
     
  2. I wouldn't do it on a bet.
    What I would do if I were you is trade it for a '23 Dodge Bros. coupe in really rough but buildable condition and build the ultimate street rod.

    Friend in my opinion those are one of the neatest Plymouths ever built. They customize easily, and even in stock form have tremendous lines.
    It sounds like you have a lot to work with already, and you got something going for you that other builders don't "Its Yours" Full MOPAR drive train, snake belly low, and shiney, shiney, paint (not orange please).
    Jump in with both feet friend.

    Find a cheap but complete 4 door parts car and fix it. Those cars rock.

    Cleatus...I believe that started life as a Chrysler. But it is one of the baddest Mopar customs ever FWIW.

    Back in the olden days, when I was in high school, a buddy of mine had one. It was pale yellow and white from the factory with a 318, automatic. He changed it to a stick tranny and lowered it....painted it a dark green metallic and left the original cone-type hubcaps on it with skinny whites. The girls loved it!

    Action Girl, that is AWESOME!

    Get this one running and drive it as is. Go find a nicer one, fix it and paint it red too. Then alternate which one you drive. Don't forget the oldies motion detector trick!

    Fuck, now I need to watch Christine again.

    I never really thought about making it a gasser. I was just thinking about making it a nice mild custom or something of that nature but the chop would look kool and make the fins look bigger.
