1933 Plymouth Coupe Build II

Cool Plymouth - here's mine - 33 Plymouth redux

Not a build per se but more of a do-over. Good luck with yours...

 

thank you, it is helpful to see others projects!

 

for the rebuild of this 302 i will need to glean lots of information from this forum, first off, what about using a 270 crank since it is lighter, would there be any possible difficulties or downsides to this?

 

I finally got the body off of the frame and onto its own stand

 

What 4 speed should i use?

 

Great looking MoPar coupe....any 4 speed that will hook up on an early Hemi

 

to late! already bought a 302 gmc, 33k miles, running, its going to get a full rebuild for this baby

 

just got the 1955 gmc flatbed with the 302 in it home, soon, hopefully this week, i will replace the rearmost freeze plug on the head which has a pin-size hole in it and get her sustainably running

 

Has anyone ever seen a transverse leaf spring ifs used?

 

Transverse leaf IFS, Stude called it Planar, was used by Studebaker for many years as well as Jeep under the Station Wagons/Jeepster/2WD Pickup.

 

well my idea was to utilize c4 corvette ifs with a transverse leaf spring for a clean look and great handling albeit not what one would consider traditional, it isnt entirely modern either

 

Mock up with a hood from a 1946-7ish GMC water truck which i had laying around, it was a surprisingly good fit and gave me some ideas

 

a very crude illustration of my idea as i was never blessed with artistic ability, i know many of you must share my pain! but nonetheless it lays out a general image
