1937 Plymouth Sedan Delivery Build

lookin good

 

Almost finished with the rear fenders. They both came along faster than I expected.

 

G & G MOPARS Corona California. 909-825-1231. Ask for Ernie. Anything and everything old Plymouth or chrysler. I asked about Tailights and he showed me a drawer full of 36 Tailights with NOS lenses still in the box.

 

looking good. she'll be back to life in no time

 

Absolutely fuckin' gorgeous!!

 

Man that really looks nice.

 

Good stuff. Working on a '33 coupe, unbelievable how much one model year only (or even half a year!) parts some of these old Mopars have.

 

So many good sources for the new Hemi with overdrive trans., sure hope you stick with that set-up. Metal work is looking great.

 

Look to buy a totaled Charger, Dodge truck, etc. and get the engine/trans, harness, etc. Maybe use the sound system and other parts in the build.
Cheaper than buying item by item from a wrecking yard or new crate parts.

 

Damn nice metal work on those fenders !!

 

I just love the sedan deliveries. good luck on your build

 

Boy!, sure didn't take you long to get those fenders back in shape, Great work.
I love this type of thread.

 

Email Sent. Let me know what you think. Yes its what I am looking for.

Thanks,

Ive been working on the front fender getting the dents worked out.

 

I'd like to see how you plan on smoothing those fenders out. My doors look just the same. Will you be using a shrinking disc?

 

ya i use a combination of a lot of things. Ill use the planishing hammer, the shrinking disk, and just a hammer and dolly.

 

I got the dents on the front worked out. Now I just have to fix the tear on the side and this fender will be done.

 

Flat-out amazing!

 

Absolutely beautiful metal work!!! I feel like a hack now lol!

 

very nice. that shows alot of pride in what you do. i guess that means you've never worked for the government lol

 

Now that IS metal massaging at its best. How many man-hours will you have in the fender, and how will you go about repairing the tear?

 

Wow, your work on those fenders is outstanding!

 

I've got 10 hours in the fender at this point.

On the tear, i'm making a small patch with the bead pressed into it that will replace that section. Then before I weld in the patch I put in a new section of wire. Then the new piece gets re-rolled around the wire.

 

That "short" amount of time speaks volumes for your skill level; probably take me 30 hrs.
and it would only look half as good. Your patch pics confirm the procedure for a similar
repair on mine. The rod insert ought to reinforce that vulnerable area well. Thanks

 

Theres some skill on this thread. Excellent work.

 

Just amazing to watch the "magic" of a GREAT body man!!! Those fenders are absolutely fantastic. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.....

 

Thanks guys, im super happy on how the fenders are working out.

I finished up the front and rear fenders this morning. Got them bolted on the car so that we can finalize tire sizes and get suspension ordered.

 

Oh, damn. That thing is gonna look great!

 

Bad-ass...

 

GRATE WORK !!! kool to see it taking shape !!!
