Projects 33 Plymouth PC Coupe project

Awesome project
Great builder.
Looking forward to seeing your progress!!!

 

Love the shape of most cars of the thirties, including this one. I have a 35 slantback coach, it is down the list, keep up the good work.

 

Been a long time coming, but it’s finally inside. Got the new toy storage shed finished. And now have room in my shop to start messing with this one. Will be picking yall’s brains on some things soon, I’m sure. Looking forward to finally doing something to this thing. Gonna start by figuring out how to get the radiator support and front fender braces mounted, so I can move towards getting the body panels mocked up.

 

Guess it’s been almost 2 years since I’ve updated anything on my progress. And there’s nothing to update…. I haven’t done squat with it, other than buy a pd grill and shell, and a couple of small parts. I’ve located another frame, and some splash panels, just need to make the long drive to get em. I sold my cuda last month, so once again I’m hoping to get back to work on this one……

 

Looks good!

 

Made a 1250 mile round trip and brought some more junk home. Another PC frame that isn’t too great. Some small stuff. Some stuff I won’t use. Some cut up PD fenders. And an NOS PC driver’s side fender. I’ve got renewed interest in getting some work done on my car again.

Think I’ve finally figured out how to make my fender supports work, even though they’re the wrong ones. I’m gonna use the new frame to mock everything up for now. And I’m planning to cut off the M2 on my other frame, and redo it.

I’m looking for a set of splash aprons if anyone knows of a set. And a passenger side headlight stand. I’m likely gonna put the NOS fender up for sale, since I can’t use it, as I’m running PCXX fenders/hood/grill. Of course, I’ll be looking for a rediculous asking price, lol.

 

what gauge tubing did you use?

 

I think it was14

 

how much did y’all pay for that? Looks like it’s $1400 now. Found an old catalog page where it’s $600. Wonder when they doubled the price…….

 

Pick at least one day a week to spend a cpl hours on it. I started doing that and before i knew it i was working in the shop 3-4 nights per week. I lose a little sleep but the progress is fast! I even started a youtube channel which even further forced me to get my ass out there and get to work. Soon as my roadstera done my 33 dodge 5 window gets wheeled in. Glad you didnt sell!

 

I didn’t buy it. The owner did. I’m sure it wasn’t close to $1400

 

Started knocking a little rust off today. Guess I’m gonna need to start formulating a plan soon. Gonna try and pick up some steel in the next day or so, to make the underbody supports. Then gonna start getting this chassis figured out.

 

Had to see it in one color. Figured now was the time to experiment before I got serious with body work. $7 experiment……. I’ll take inspiration just about anywhere I find it. A couple of spray cans helped my vision today.

 

Amazing how much better it looks with a little black paint on it !

 

Yeah, it looks like crap up close in person, lol. And it highlights just how much bodywork it needs. But it’s giving me ideas and making me think about direction. I’m gonna play around some more this weekend with a particular idea. Still trying to locate a few parts too.

 

cool car, glad to see you are interested in it again, go for it and do whatever you want, it's your car

 

I think it’s gonna have flames one day…… Better ones than these though.

 

Started trying to get the grill insert cleaned up a bit. Hoping I can polish it up some later after attempting some repairs…..…

 

That grille looks pretty decent. Mine had a couple bends I fixed and had to make a couple of the bars below the crank hole. Had it powder coated and it’s good for me

 

Looking good!.. While it’s true that finding parts for these early Mopars can be challenging, I think people are finally beginning to see what good looking cars they really are…

 

that looks good. Mine is pretty rough at the bottom. Most of the bars have rusted and broke loose. I’m gonna try and clean em up and see if I can weld em back. Never tried anything like that, so maybe it’ll work, lol.
