It will still have the hood top, but no sides....Lots of extra room, dang near 1/2"!!!!!!! Can actually still run the mechanical fan, too!

Got done with the wet sanding on the Plymouth today, time to spray some sealer and look the whole body over 1 more time prior to paint!!!

Did a bit of cutting on the floor of the roadster to make room for that huge automatic tranny, only have to raise the hump up about 2" so there won't be any significant loss of floor space in the footwell area....

Huge is right!

The body, front fenders, rears, splash shields and running boards - all different manufacturers

Thanks Pro 53, the Plymouth has been fun because of all the unique challenges, nobody makes a dang thing for them so lots of planning and fabricating and very few bolt ons... Ain't no fun if they ain't a challenge!!!!!!

I got my brakes all hooked up, my exhaust all ran and just about to finish up with my fuel lines. Should have the body back on next week so I can start blocking it out.

Going for tin and paint in a next few weeks

Great lookin' body on the flopper, Deuce!!!! New one or did you dig up one of the golden oldies???? Should be a blast!


Mr. Smith, chassis looks good!!!! Fun to be able to get the body back on for the last time, huh??? Not only progress, but progress that people actually notice!!!!!

Looks great!

Thanks Dave. It isn't up to your caliber but it will do. And you are right about what people can notice. It seems to take years before that happens.lol

I've spent the last 5 days block sanding and wet sanding...other then a dirty floor it doesn't look like I've done a thing!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must admit I am not looking forward to all of that sanding.
