Thread: New guy from Illinois

Greetings everyone. My dad got me into the hobby when I was just a little kid maybe 5 or 6 years old. I always thought cars were cool and tried to sneak away with him and his friends to go to car shows. I came here hoping to find some information about a project that I plan to start before the end of the year. After I finish this 80 Impala, I want to start my 41 Plymouth that my dad bought back when I was a baby. We always talked about how that would be my first car but it kept getting put on the back burner. Now after years of sitting I would like this car to be on the streets. My dad took the front part of a Nova frame and welded it to the Plymouth so we could run a small block Chevy, power steering, and disc brakes. He did the same thing in the rear of the frame so I have the 10 bolt rear end in the car too. If anyone has any experience with this type of custom work I would love to hear any ideas or information on where to get parts or what I might need to get this car on the road sooner rather than later!

JKFlash first welcome to CHR you'll find plenty of similar swaps on here. the only thing I see as a problem is making new body mounts. That is somthing you'll have to work out as you have the car. Good luck and POST some pictures then maybe we can help

Welcome, Post some pictures of the cars please. Don Jr.

Welcome to Chr. 41 plymouth one of my favorites. My 41 uses a 79 impala front clip and rear. chevy 350 with turbo 350. Please feel free to ask questions, there are a lot of good people here with a lot of wisdom. like everyone else i like pictures.
