    Thanks falconvan. I bought the car about 7 years ago. I didn't do much more than tear it down the first year. Then I took a couple of years off and it was just hit and miss on it until about a year ago I decided it was time to get serious about it. Since then I have been averaging about 5 hours a day on it.

    Pretty impressive looking Dave. What year is your Plymouth? And What is the Hemi out of? Are you going to keep it Fuel injected?

    Thanks for the kind words Mark! This engine is from an '05 2WD pickup and will keep all the electronics. The car is a '36 sedan. Very nice body with minimal damage and rust! A few more boo-boo's to fix, then I should be back on the body for a couple rounds of blocking and on to the paint!

    Next project coming in is a '27 Ford roadster (glass) on Deuce rails...It too will be getting the new Hemi and AOD trans!

    Dave did you have to move your firewall back to install that Hemi? I think those Dodges and Plymouths have a little more room than the fords do. Who are you getting your engine harness from? I got mine from Street And Performance. Actually they haven't delivered it yet and I ordered it about 5 weeks ago.

    I built the firewall myself, kicked it back about 3" if I remember correctly. Engine harness was re done by one of our local guru's...haven't really looked it over much, but I'm sure it's the same quality as the rest of them that he builds....

    I just looked at your pics of it in your gallery. From the looks of your sheet metal work you have the tools you need to fabricate what ever you want. That sure helps. I had to move my firewall back about 10 to 12 inches and that still just barely gave me enough room to put a fan and shroud behind my radiator.
    Make sure you post a pic or two when it is done.

    I don't have all the tools I need, but I've gotten good at improvising!!!!

    Finally got some more primer on the '36 Plymouth today! Got the door jambs, cowl, engine covers, and a bunch of small parts done. Might actually start getting some color on the car soon!!! Sure does take a bunch of extra time when a couple dummies were in there messin' things up first!! Redo seems to take about 3 times as long as do it right the first time!

    Did you make those engine covers? I don't think I have ever seen anything like them before. Are you using the stock intake manifold?

    Got the body back on the frame and taking care of a lot of little stuff, holes for the fuel lines and battery cables to come thru the floor, measuring for a trailer hitch, body mounts for the new rear crossmembers, etc... Working at it a bit everyday, the little stuff just eats up soooooooo much time!!!!
