Thread: Greetings from WA

Tweet

Hello everyone,

New to the site. Always been a Mopar chick.

I've owned my 1967 Plymouth Belvedere for 12 years now; she's a little rough around the edges but I adore her. Midnight blue, 318, auto on the floor, GTX interior with buckets. Originally a slant 6, 3 on the tree car with bench. I'm really comtemplating putting back in the column shift manual trans and the bench seat combo. My goal is to eventually cram a 383 in her, but keep her looking like granny's daily driver.

Recently bought my 53 Plymouth Cranbrook 2 dr HT, original inline 6 and column shift manual trans. Slight mods to include shaving and lowering. I intend to finish this one off with a respectable chop and some leadwork. Considering channeling, but she's low to the ground already. Lovely grey interior in her currently. No intention of upsizing the motor right now, I'm more interested in replacing the front suspension soft components and brakes, and the body work.

I've been reading old threads and it makes me happy to see others on the same kind of projects!

Greetings Morrigan!

Yup, you have found Hot Rod Nirvana where a question never goes unanswered and photos will be loved by all!

Welcome to the site. If you haven't already, come up to "Cruise Night" at Tower Lanes on 6th Ave. from 4:30 PM on, every Saturday evening. Been running between 100 & 200cars.

Gents,

Thank you for the warm welcome to the forum.

Mastiff, I'll have to make it up there one of these days. I'll let you know ahead of time, if I am able.

I'm headed to Ink & Iron in Long Beach CA next weekend, there are going to be about 300 pre-63 rods there. I plan to take lots of photos!

Welcome to the site. Lots of folks here will be helpfull with whatever you decide to do. Steve.

welcome. nice to see another lady around here. sounds like you have a great project.

Welcome Morrigan!

Welcome to CHR! Good to have another Mopar fanatic here, especially one of the female persuasion.

Steve and rc57: Thanks for the welcomes! I'm sure I'll learn alot here on the forum.

Barb: Sure is nice to see other females in the hobby! I am not the best mechanic, but I can give many of the boys here a run for their money (so to speak).

Bob: I can't help it, Mother Mopar just has something special! I can certainly appreciate other makes, and obviously the love and devotion bestowed upon them. But I'll wait endlessly to hear a 426 turn over at a show! I've had a real bevy of rusty beauties over the years. My oldest son is a Mopar freak and he has a 76 Dodge truck. What a beast it is, straight off a farm out here.

Anyway, thanks for making me feel welcome. I hope I have something of value to contribute to the forum.

i can not even give the guys a run for their money. so you are far ahead of me. But these guys put up with alot of my really simple questions and have never made me feel silly for asking. lots of great people here that will answer anything for me. As I said before nice to have another lady around.
