Projects 1940 Plymouth Coupe Build!

Well done Scott! So I suppose we'll see more progress on the coupe soon, right?

 

congrats on your new job, glad to hear it.

 

That would be a hell yes Eric

I need to think what to do with the frame

 

Thanks!

 

congrats on the new job!!!!

 

ahhhh first paycheck goes to the car.... LOL

 

Thanks Hogman!

 

obviously I have my priorities straight....

 

Yep, first the Plym and then the apache.

 

Scott,

Congrats on the job and the build... You have to have a story or the build would be boring. lol Subscribed! Good luck, take your time and build it your way!

 

Thanks! I am glad you are back and maybe working on your car in a couple of months, I am excited for you and can't wait to see the progress. I have been doing a lot of research and cleaning in the garage, preparing to swap over to the coupe from the pickup. I have been working on plugging off the gas cap so the garage stops stinking of gas.

 

time to get crackin'

 

I just received my rear window from a fellow HAMBer that was nice enough to cut it out for me and give it to me for a cheap price. Thanks a lot!

Here are some pictures of what is in it now and what I received (rot free). Even though the 4 door gl*** is curved at least I will have something to go off of.

 

That new rear window is going to be very handy for you. It will certainly prevent you from fabricating a lot of new stuff! Looking good Scott.

 

Got Moby to the new garage! It looked bad*** going down the road and I got a ton of compliments going from house to house. Someone even wanted to buy it lol. No way Jose. Here are a couple shots of it in its temporary spot in the garage. When I get everything cleaned up on the part of the garage that the truck is in and get the truck repaired and on the road again then I can shuffle the Plymouth over there and then start working on it full time.

One guy even followed me home to see if I wanted this drive-in menu... hell yes.

 

Nice garage..I wish mine was that big.

 

Hell I bought the house because of the garage! It can uncomfortably fit 5 cars. Don't ask me how I know this.

 

Your apache truck brings back memories of my old 56 Chevy big back gl***..Loved that truck.

 

Damn that is a nice truck, I am even going to paint mine blue too!

 

Is there 42-48 social club??

 

Really this would be 1946-1948 and I am sure there is a social club. They really didn't make anything because of the war and if they did it was for army/navy only.

 

Well I worked on this car a little bit because I was tired of the thousand parts I have for it floating around waiting to get installed. I still need to attach the kickdown to the ******. I also need to work on a better gas pedal install. That is going to come later down the line when I have to money to pour into this project. It took an hour or two to route everything and make sure everything works (uninstalling the ****py setup that was on there before). Here are a couple pictures

 

Great to see you're back at it Scott!

 

i'm with you 100% man that was done right. It a great chop dose anyone know how did it?

 

Hi I like the looks of the 40 ply, better than my 48 ply. I would like to know if you removed the door gl*** wings, and went with a one peace door gl***. If so what did you use for a rubber window seal. I have modified the doors on my 48 ply, with electric windows, the gl*** is one peace gl***. I looking for a rubber seal, to fit in the door. Do know if their are a rubber seal, that find in the junk yard. A robber seal from a diffrent car that I could fit in the door for a rubber seal. Any information would be helpful. Thank you

 

Thanks Eric, starting to feel better and was finally able to exercise a little more, finally got the energy to get out there and do something.

 

Talk to Steele Rubber, they should be able to find something for you on this.

 

Just had a look through your thread, very cool man, i just love the 1940 Mopars, weather it be a Chrysler, Dodge DeSoto or Plymouth, they are all bad ***, you have a new follower in me, good luck with the build.

 

Thanks Hemiken, trying to finish up a couple things on the truck so I can have something to drive sometime this next season instead of driving my OT Jap car... Then I will be working on this thing full time correcting everything and getting it on the road.

 

Well i look forward to seeing the progress when it is possible. 40-41 Mopar coupes are the best, you have a real nice Plymouth too.
