    Whats going everyone, Ive been on the hamb for while but never put pics up of my 51. Its a 51 Plymouth Cranbrook 2 door sedan, with a flathead 6 board .030 over. Its my first car and my first kustom. I have a bunch of pics of work and progress over the past year or too. Shes come a long and still have a long way to go. Well here are a bunch of pics of what i call Abuela.

  2. Nice goin. I always thought those old mopars would make a good 1st hotrod. They're a simple, rugged car. Sturdy if not fast. Yours looks like a lotta fun.
    I once owned a small-box 55 dodge stepside, 6 cylinder/3 speed. Was reliable and with chrome reversed wheels, fresh gray primer and a lowering job it looked presentable. Keep on strokin.

    Your old Mopar is looking good. I like the work you're doing on the grill and the taillights.

    I still do not understand why these Mayflowers aren't more popular. Yours is certainly shaping up to be one handsome automobile. Very nice keep it up.

    That chop looks tight, thats my next winter project. How much did you take off the top? Are you running open lake pipes?
