Thread: 57 Plymouth or how I spent yesterday

Tweet

Now that the wifes car is built and I have my shop back I get to play with my toys again.

The front engine mounts are tacked in and today is working on the rear crossmember and clutch linkage for the 4 speed.

Looking great, Mike !!!! The Hemi is really gonna fill that big old engine compartment quite nicely. What else do you have in store for the project???

Hey that thing got'a Hemi?

Lookin real good!

Well the mock up is just about done.

The Hemi is a 56 354 with a one off tri-power.

Transmission is an A-833 Overdrive 4 speed.

Rear end is a 73 Charger 9 1/4 with a 4.10 Posi (OD is equivient to 3.00).

Both the front and rear suspensions have been rebuilt, and disc brakes have been added to the front.

Wheels are steel 15X7 Mopar cop car units with dog dish caps.

It will be getting a fully guaged custom dash cluster, bucket seats and a custom built console and add on AC (and the biggest radiator I can get in there).

There's still a long way to go. Once I get the mock up finished It's take every thing apart, remove the glass and trim and sent it in for body work and primer. I spent the afternoon going over it with the paint and body guy and it looks like we'll do some trade out.

its Christine

So whats the thoughts as to the color?

Actually it's the wrong year, model and body style for Christine, but it will be red and white.
