'59 Plymouth Forum

This was the car before i started work

It looks really nice!!!
What options does it have?

I won't be able to make it to that meet this year, same days as Carlisle!

Its a low option car, no power steering, no power brakes 318 poly 2bbl, lots of rust tho! Lol.

Heres some more picks of the condition of the floor and work to the driners rocker pannel

got the picks a bit muddled up!

Dont know wrer the floorpicks are! oh well, anyway you can see what ive been up to!

Cool eh?

Very cool, Matty. I'm envious of your craftmanship -- and you seem to be having a good time!

Dan

Hmmmmm, not too shure about having a good time, its just what i do, keeps me out of trouble tho!
Anyone can do this stuff if they try, its the same as anything else, Whatch me make the rear wheelarch, sounds hard eh? But watch how simply it can be done.

Its looking good!! You asked about my Dad rebuilding TorqueFlites--He doesn't have his own kit, he usually uses kits from SMR Transmissions, or Mopar Performance-he goes through the tranny thoroughlly and knows what kind of things to look for as far as wear goes, and he knows all the little tricks and secrets about performance and durability. After the kits installed and everythings buttoned up he usually gives them a coat of aluminum paint. He's rebuilt TF's for guys like you and me to all out racers. It usually takes him about 10 hours to get a tranny done.

Looks like you got a good shop there to work on your project--are you a body guy by trade?

Yea i am a body man by trade ive done this since leaving school so ive been at it a good 18 plus years, ive got my own shop here so its pretty good really. what do you do for a living then?
Hey i will post some picks of my street so you get the picture, and a couple of the town i live in to give you an idea of what its like here, i will post em at the weekend Stay cool.

That's a really good job! Hope to see it in real life sometime!

Maybe I will visit England this year for a couple of days

This might sound like a dumb question but...does your car have a fuse block in it where all the interior wiring harness plugs into? My car came with boxes inside full of bits and pieces-the dash had been half assembled and I have no idea whether or not there is supposed to be a fuse panel. I assume that there should be because the wiring diagrams in the shop manual show that the circuits are fused or have "breaker switches". Anyway, thanks! hope to see some more pics soon!
