Here r a couple of pics of my '51 Plmouth which I refer 2 as "SLOKOOL". I bought this ride about a year ago, just 4 something 2 tinker with' since I'm not a "project" kinda guy. I've added the bolt ons, spots, mirrors and & lake pipes. I've also shaved the door & trunk handles, frenched the headlights, added a frenched antenna, relocated the fuel filler into the trunk, & frenched in '49 ford taillights. The hood was shaved and the rear fenders molded & the car lowered 2" when I got the car. The engine & drive train is stock, slo but reliable. The exhaust has a single gl*** pak with a "Y" pipe to give it the duel exhaust. I have also detailed the engine bay and trunk 2 give the car a clean look. I'd appreciate any & all comments, I have big shoulders.
I wouldn't get too defensive! It looks pretty good to me! Not EVERYTHING has to be chopped,to look good.
love those old mopars...some scallops would look nice on it...those old flattys run forever...I have one in my 54 dodge panel and it purrs like a kitten coming soon: rodtees.com
Looks good. Was never a fan of the mopars of this era, but I'm warming up to them (see my avatar). Yeah, scallops would look nice. Hope when I get to 'tinkerin' with mine it will come out as nice as yours. Scott
Awesome looking car! I just picked up my 51 Plymouth Concord (2 door, fastback, daily driver), and I think I want to go a similar route with it.
Looks great. I like the old Mopars. You've pretty well covered the bases for a period look. What did you do for the interior??
'47 Plym -Here r a couple of pics of the interior. The carpets r candidates for replacement, but just haven't gotten 2 it yet.
Well, I now have an example to model my engine bay after. The bay in my 50 Coronet could p*** as your 'before' photo.... YOURS... MINE... And yes, that IS an 8 volt tractor battery...lol Don't flame me yet guys, I may have got this car a few months ago, but have just now been able to put any time in it. I'm in the process of changing jobs, moving AND getting married....as much as I'm lookin forward to it all, I'll be glad when I'm all settled in....ugh.
Hotrod Dave - I'd love to chop it, but I'd have to farm that out and it wud probably cost more than I care to spend. I've followed "******knuckels" chop and think it's OUTSTANDING!
Mine is so hideous right now, feel free to use it as your 'before' photo to your friends that aren't on the HAMB...lol (I know I would)
hell id drive it , lowering the top would probably look good but it doesnt need it, but i do feel you need to break up the grey with some cool paint or scallops or something
