Just adjusted carbs and valves to fix the rich running issues. Running great now!
Bump for Santa.

I'm offering my all-steel 1934 Plymouth PE 5-window coupe for sale. The PE has the long 114" wheelbase and really has some beautiful lines and...
Thanks for the compliments, gents. Been a long time to get to this point and I'm glad I didn't throw in the towel after so many disappointments...
Nice day for a cruise! Went about 25 miles of easy driving which is the longest drive yet. The Plymouth is behaving pretty well except I think I...
What specific HEI kit did you get? I've seen lots of GM module wiring diagrams with coils. Then there is the DUI setup with everything on the cap.
I'm using a Mopar HEI setup so I guess it has a different setup than the GM module. The Mopar HEI has a separate coil and ballast resistor outside...
I think this was what I used. [ATTACH] I had some issues that I go into in my build thread where the starter remained energized and I believe...
I'll dig through my notes. I did a Hot Rod Wires setup with HEI. I think I have the final diagram that worked that may help.
Thanks for the kind words. It's been a lot of fun taking it out for some short cruises lately. Getting a lot looks and plenty of nice comments...
Two years ago when the hot rod was in pieces I set a goal to be able to drive the hot rod to my first day at work at our new facilities. Well, on...

More interior panels in today. One more rear panel and I can get the seat back in. Then on to the door panels. [ATTACH] Posted using the Full...
More trim panels are going in. Decided to use chip board to make these panels since it was easier to trim and they mount nicely to the underlying...
The headliner has consumed my time for the last three days. I ended up using a piece of chip board to mount the headliner. I made a pattern from...
Thanks for posting that. The details in the photos on that site really help. I may redo the upper rear quarter panels now that I see how they did...
Most of the panels are cut. Need to order the tweed that matches the seats to cover door panels and lower panels. Got the transition in the upper...
Cut and edged some carpet. Now trying to figure out how to do the upper rear panels. I'm thinking of using ASB for the curved transition in the...
I made more progress today. I finished the wood framing in the interior and laid down some heat insulation material. [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]...

Got the car back from Bruce's. Huge improvement! Drove it 13 miles home. Enjoyed every inch of that drive. Thanks to Mike and Dustin for all of...
[MEDIA] Around the block for a test drive before it goes to Bruce's Rod Shop for finishing school. Still a little sketchy with the brakes,...
Here is a clip from the car running last weekend. [MEDIA]
Hi Danny. Just wanted to check in. I dropped by the shop late June to see if you all could do some work on my 34' Plymouth and you said it would...
Been a while since I could have some garage time but I made some progress today. Made a subfloor for the trunk to mount the battery box. Also...
