Anyone else building old dodge/plymouth other mopars?

Very nice work Jeff!

 

PO kept that one

I've got a 1968 Ford Galaxy fastback parts car that I'm planning to take the roof from to use on the coupe.

 

i have a 41 s/deluxe im puttin a 88 dakota stub under with a 318 poly,4 bl,with the push button trans.

 

Do you have any photos of it? I have a 37 Canadian Dodge (Plymouth based) and mine is not the best.

 

my '60 Dart. Still putting together and waiting on my chrome reverses. I was ready to drive it after working in it the last 8 months.

 

I'm working on a 65 Chrysler Newport convertible, 65 Chrysler 300, and my wife's 57 Desoto. But I'm looking for an older Mopar to build

 

1941 Business Coupe. Original except for the 218 engine. The front is off except for the hood. Engine is back from machine shop and on an engine stand. Have all the goodies to reassemble engine. If I only had time. This will be left alone. Will replace the studded snow tires, rebuild brakes, engine, trans, front and rear suspension, re-wire it, new glass and put an interior in it for 2 or maybe 4. What the outside looks like is what it will be. I want a driver that is safe. There is only 3 rust holes, 1 in the trunk and the other two behind where the front fender is behind the wheels. Someone got a little happy with the da sander a few years ago but so what. Body is cool. What you see is what you get!

 

Tulsa springs in Tulsa,Okla. can re-do your springs if they are sagging. I had some done last year and seems like it was $125.oo. I have a 36 dodge 4 door sedan with twin side mounts, a 34 CA, a 51 Desoto 2 door coupe, 64 chrysler 300 and two 70 dodge superbees. I've owned the 4 speed bee since 71 it was 8 months old from time of delivery till I bought it

 

Hi, i got a 1956 Dodge Kingsway Custom about to restore. Wouldnt mind any helpful hints and tips.

 

I bought this 58 plymouth recently. 318 valiant motor and auto disc brakes and power steer. Not planning on doing much except tidying the upholstery.

 

Hi Magoo, have you had trouble finding a workshop manual for these cars?

 

I havent found a manual yet.All my running gear is 70s Valiant so I will need 2 workshop manuals.I will keep a look out for one for yours.What part of the country are you in?

 

good choice on the running gear. is it a slant six, or a v-8?

 

Very nice stance! It should have a stroked 440 in there...

.

 

Hi Magoo, live in Whangarei. i have a manual on order, by Hank Elfrink, it should cover mine as same as US 56 Plymouth Plaza

 

Close, it's got a stroked Hemi....

 

...be still my heart...

Here's my 46 P15 biz coupe, original 218/3spd with a cheap aftermarket floor shifter. So far I've rewired it front to back, put in a dual circuit master cyl and disks in front with one of Olddaddys conversion kits, switched over to 12v, added an alternator and electronic ignition. It looks alot better in the pictures than in person (its really rusty) but it's only sheetmetal. I'm the first guy to legally drive it since '67.
The plan is to rebuild the floors/body mounts/trunk and all the other "swiss cheesed" sheetmetal and drop in a 360/4spd or early hemi if I come across on cheap enough. I'm going for an early 60's drag car look when its finished

 

Somebody also yacked up the rear fenders or put a pair on from a 42, The stock ones show only a portion fo the rear wheel. But it doesn;t look bad that way. By the way workig floor shifter for these 40's and 50's mopars are few and far between, If you pull the powertrain, you could probably sell it rather than trash it.

mine will be at the show in Olcott tomorrow.

 

Yeah somebody definatly cut the fenders, normally I'm not a fan of round wheel openings but for some reason it doesn't look that bad, they definatly need the edges rolled because they flop around a little. I'm going to keep the drivetrain when I pull it. I'll keep an eye out for you at the show tomorrow.

 

I have a 51 ply concord kustom. shaved. nosed, decked, etc. s.b.mopar. t flite.
all mopar but a 57 olds rear. sorry, but Ive had it for 45 years. runs great. lots of
fun. sorry no picture yet.

 

'48 Club Coupe - Rust-free laser straight Montana car. EDGY head and cam, Fenton Headers, Offy intake, 3" dropped spindles, disc brakes, overdrive, 12V...

Thinking hard about putting a McCulloch spercharger on it.

 

My '33, PC coupe. Traded for it back in April (how'd I miss this thread?) It's been built for a while, slated for a 'do-over' this winter.

 

Here's my '62 Chrysler 2 door post.



Only one in the world, was a 4 door. Build thread for it is here.

Latest project is my 55 Plymouth Plaza flat six with a Edmunds intake. I've kinda lost interest in it when i ran the numbers on the block and found out it's a 1940 Plymouth 203

 

Hello
Your Dodge is a 1954 plymouth bodied Dodge sold new in New Zealand in 1956 as a transistion between the last of the CKD pack built cars in Australia 1954 and the introduction of the AP1 in 1957. Todd Motors continued building CKD packs of Canadian sourced body Mopars in Wellington through till 1963. So hence why there is some confusion
Some cars were built in NZ and were sold more or less to their body year and some were sourced from Australia and sold according to the year of sale

 

My 48 Desoto
