Nice....but I doubt I will be going the shiny route. I’ll probably just leave the body as is. If I do ever put any paint on it I think I’ll go...

It’s got a big ass.....I think it’s the same though. You could hide a 500 Cadillac and transaxle in that trunk.....if you were into that kind of thing
I like all the early 40s coupes but especially the 39-40 Desoto because of rarity
You have dual point distributors? Mine is an autolite and I found a set of points for dual point on Napa’s site but it said for IBS distributor....
I may try this on the old flat head 6 that’s still in the car.
I looked there but they didn’t list the dual points. Are Chrysler’s the same? Seems like everything else is different between Desoto and Chrysler.
Anyone know how common the dual point distributors were? This motor has one and I need tune up parts. One set of points is broken and so is the...
I found the carb that goes to this motor. Didn’t even remember it coming with one. So now I just need a starter.
Hemi with a 4 speed of some kind. I have a Saginaw laying around. Haven’t decided on a rear end yet.
[ATTACH] Technically I guess I have started this project so I figured I would go ahead and start a thread on it. This one is a 40 Desoto coupe...
Yes I remember. I’ll start a build thread when I actually get started. Still planning and stock piling parts.
Anybody have any pics of 30-40s coupes with slots or Torq thrust Ds?
It has some painted steel wheels on it now. I believe they are some kind of later mopar wheels because the have the hole for the locating pin...
I sure do. There was a lot of stuff there I wish I would have saved. They had 3 rows of Chevys from the 60s. At least 5 65 Malibu SS convertibles...
In high school I worked at a junk yard after school. I remember seeing lots of torque thrust D wheels. I grabbed a couple sets and ran them on my...
I'm putting together a plan for my 60s style hot rod project. I'm not into gasser type cars. I have a 40 Desoto coupe and a 56 Desoto 330 Hemi. It...
I'm hauling a car from Houston to NE Texas this Friday and returning empty if anyone needs something hauled.
Mine is a 40x60 but it fills up fast. I'm putting together a smaller out building to store all the ATVs, utv and lawnmower in. It's pretty...
hey abomination....I sent you a PM about the cadillac.
I did the same thing about 25 years ago. I'm still doing it the same way. The first 4 cars I painted were done in the front yard under a huge oak...
me too.....I just scored a 64 caddy 429/t400 with 1900 original miles for $200 last weekend for the same reason.
[ATTACH] My new "garage". Still moving things in and figuring out where to put them so I can find them again.
I have one in the classifieds.
I have a pair of fenders with the headlight buckets and inner fenders attached. The drivers side fender pic still shows damage at the bottom but...
Running & driving car, no title. inline 6/3 speed manual. Motor doesn't smoke but needs a valve adjustment. It needs the whole interior redone. I...
Does anyone still meet at Chikfila at grand parkway and 59 anymore? I've been out of the loop for almost a year getting my new shop built. Should...
I have an old camper I got for free. The brand name is Tripper. I must have the only one left in existence because nobody has ever heard of it...
No thanks
