Projects 41 plymouth coupe 392 hemi build thread

So Eric, do you ever go back and look at the pictures of the car when you started and compare to now to see how far it's come? Pretty amazing transformation.

 

Thank you David. I never really look back to be honest, perhaps only when I need to find a photo of a specific part or how I've done something. (and when I'm scrolling through my phone....but that's because I haven't made any maps. )

 

Started test fitting the stainless trim....I need to make a lot of new retaining clips it appears.....

 

Had just a little time left.....so I installed the fuel cell and it's frame. Perfect fit!

 

Nearly forgot....the credits for drilling the holes in the fuel cell frame (getting rid of excess powder coat)go to my girlfriend. LOL

 

Mounted the battery

 

Nice just a bit of chrome to set off that great black paint.

 

Eric, your girlfriend knows how much fun it'll be cruisin' around in such a well built custom. Feels like 2019 will be the year your '41 hits the streets!

 

That's what I think too!

2019 is certainly going to be the year..... By then it's nearly 10 years ago that I started this (quite intense but satisfying) project. No regrets!

 

Got these pics from my painter. More parts are getting made ready to be painted!

 

Things are moving along at a good pace I see. It appears that the renewed energy in this project is working pretty well! Keep up the always ever awesome work.

 

Go Eric Go! Looking good

 

Thank you hemi v8!

I'm running as fast as I can!

 

Started initial work on the wiring....most of it being done by my buddy Willem....I'm just helping out where I can.

 

Damn, Eric, what a progress, i'm lucky with you!

 

Thanks Carsten! More updates coming soon.

 

Lots of parts getting painted....can't wait for it to dry.

 

A pic of the tunnel that will cover the TKO 600.

 

Here's a quick vid shot by my painter.

 

Great vid! Looks like an awesome paint job from where I'm sitting. I bet you can't wait to mount all the parts for the last time. Keep up the good work!

 

The paint job looks SENSATIONAL Eric!

Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

Thank you for the positive comments guys! More updates coming soon.

 

Mounted the alternator bracket with a new belt tensioner and appears to fit just fine. Time to disassemble it and get it painted.

 

Mounted the bracket for the airride compressor.

 

Fabricated and mounted a new bracket for the steering linkage. It now clears the chassis and the headers safely.

 

Nice changes,getting so close. Is that water crossover the hot heads? I have the hose one they sell but have been contemplating switching, of corurse I may not have the option using a supercharger.

 

I'd need to look through all of my invoices, but I think you're right. Special aluminium mounting parts behind it are required to make it fit to the heads.
