Features 1950-1953 Plymouth & Dodge Thread....lets see what you got.

thanks man!! on the headlights i only came out as far as the merc ring maybe 2" max & set the light buckets back about 1/4" when i reversed em to the back side of the fender. i got lots of pics of the whole process in my pics

 

50, you have mad skills man, wish you were closer, would luv to get my eyes on your rear bag/suspension set up. Thx for the info on the photo album, I did not even know you could have one in your profile.

 

I love these cars. Now I need to go out and find one to work on. Great thread. Craig's list here I come.

 

the rear bag setup is super simple just over the axle with a lader bar setup.. no room for a 4 link the floor is too low under the back seat

bad pic but heres the back top of the cover comes off to get to the bags



heres the links i built


drive shaft tunnel


rear mounts

 

Easy if you can fab like you...
did you notch the frame at all? Looks great, I,m keeping pics

 

i set it up for a 26" tall tire so i didnt need to notch it.. ANY bigger youd have to put a small c-notch like 1 1/2" or 2"

 

this is my 1950 dodge coronet. I saved her from rotting away!! She's a work in progress.

 

Guy here in Co has about 15 mopars of this era for sale most are 4dr. non have titles.

 

Just curious, but what advantages did you perceive by keeping and modifying the original rear axle, as opposed to using a later unit?

.

 

Here are the latest pics of my 51 Plymouth Business coupe..

 

can a '49 get some love around here?

 

Not really anything new, maybe a little lower and I ended the side trim on the back door by getting two more front trim spears and swapping them side to side and flipping them over. Started unveiling a lot of bad old body work this weekend also

 

Half ass shot of the new side trim treatment on the '53.

What made you decide to go this direction?

 

here's some pics of my 51 I just bagged it about 2 weeks ago

 

A friend of mine bought this car a few years ago. I hauled it down to Killeen Tx for him. The hood ornament was missing though........

 

I wanted a change for the car and have always loved the look of Carson Tops. Did a couple drawings and started cuttin.

 

that looks great loooow, mines sittin way to high

 

Unbelievable!! you are the Plymouth god. I'll bet the cash will be gone long before the memories. Sorry about that statement. We all have to move on to new projects sometime. You should be very proud of what you did..................Jim
