Anyone else building old dodge/plymouth other mopars?

My nephew has a 50 Dodge pick up. Started about being a "gasser look". No engine, but real solid pick up. He hasn't touched in years, but garage kept. May be for sale, but not advertised.

 

Don't know if you're all following Tony's ( ) thread, but here is his FANTASTIC '39 "Quick and Dirty" gasser:

If you have not started that Aspen clip yet, do yourself a huge favor, and swap in a Dakota frame clip instead. 88-90 Dakota are 5 bolt wheels with 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern, and 91-96 Dakotas with the 6 bolt wheels can be changed to 5 bolt by adding the older 5 bolt brake rotors.
A Dakota front frame matches these trucks a whole lot better then the old cross torsion bar subframes did, I know, I've done both. The Dakota is a lot easier. Gene

Can you tell me more about the dark DeSoto in the first pic?
Thanks

Just brought this coupe home last weekend. I'll be trying to gather parts to put this together. I also have 3 33/34 Dodge trucks in various conditions. One day I'll have enough to actually put one together.

 

Im currently in the process of swapping out the Flathead six shooter in my 50 coronet 4dr to a 291 desoto hemi, and still in high school and automotive tech school while doing it, im considering it to be my high school hot rod project

A friend of mine built this MANY years ago and sold it a few years ago....it started out as a 1941 and then he changed to a 1940 front clip....

 

Mopars are where at!

It's a 354. It's going in the coupe.

We are working on a’57 Dodge Coronet in Metal Shop. It’s getting there.

 

Any more pictures of that cool hood?

 

my 47 Plymouth I sold last summer was a blast , low buck and drove it everywhere but couldn’t pass up on almost doubling my investment

Sure. Here you go....

 

Standard 40 Plymouth hood, they are cool.
IIRC, the guy had it listed a couple years back out of Roswell, NM.
I lusted after it, but didn't have the coin.
Looks like he swapped rear fenders to '40 also.
Here's a 41 off the net with the extra triple ribs.


Here's a '40 with the extra upper ridge

Here's a pic of one with both sides open.

 

Getting geared up to blow this thing apart for a frame up redo. Stock flatty, t5 and 8 1/4 rear end. Pretty much stock otherwise and lowered.

 

1933 dodge 4dr sedan

 

Always use Chevy plenty of parts and the fit is great in a Mopar but I do always use a Ford 9" rearend 56" works perfect in 33 Dodge

 

Sick to death of belly button engine cars, way over done.

 

I agree, and to say there are plenty of parts is a shit excuse to run a chevy motor in your old mopar. I get parts for my original flathead from napa.....no problem.

And the cars...

 

Hi Frank
Use what you think is best.The most important thing is to keep the old cars running!

 

Here's my 48 Plymouth I've had for 30 years and finally getting around to almost finishing it.

 

Was it pretty easy to drop that 392 into your plymouth or did it take awhile? What transmission did you put behind it?

One of the kids I work with bought this '63 4-door Fury....
It has the stock poly 318 that runs great and wants to replace it with a 440...

 

My Chrysler. Cm-6 coupe has gone through several changes over the years. It's gone from a 354 hemi to a new for this year a 498 Keith black. It is a regularly driven street car that participates on drag week.

 

My '48 Plym has a Chevelle/Cutlass front clip. The 331 fit in nicely. A bit more involved with OEM front.
