New Project 1935 Plymouth Tudor Sedan
Don't know what the plans for this one yet. The front grille is off a 37 I believe.

Cut the top off, leaving the windshield posts in place and make a fenderless tub out of it. Great fun in the sun for 6 with benches front and rear and cheap. Leave all the rust in place. Cobble up a 2" x 4" x 0.125" frame for it, extending the length between the firewall and radiator to lay in a 170 or 225 slant six. Use an 8" rear from a Maverick on longitudinal leafs and an aftermarket MII front crossemember with power R&P.Last edited by techinspector1; 05-09-2009 at 02:44 PM.

This body is too nice to cut up. But I did buy all of these and more plus a ton of parts that I could do something like that with....

I really, really hate you guys who live out in the western part of the US....you get all that great tin and all we get here are 1980 Dodge Voyagers.
You can keep going on cruises and other vacations, my dream trip is to take a BIG truck and start driving the back roads out west. 
Good looking body, what a great family rod that will make.

Be careful if you use a MII front crossmember. Because of the arch in the front of the frame and how low the stock grill shell hangs it is very easy to get lower than is practical. Do a FULL mock up before you strike an arc (speaking from experience) Have fun with it!

And everything else you see in the backrounds, plus a shop full of NOS parts still in the boxes, engines, wheels, axles, bumpers, flat glass in the boxes, mufflers, water pumps, gaskets cork and still flexible, etc, etc, etc....

We still have to pick it up or sell it from where it is and inventory everything. Most all of it will be for sale once we figure out what all is there.
Most of the prewar bodies do not have frames. Someone told me that the bodies were pulled off and the frames were scrapped for the WWII war metal drives. There is a 55-56 Lincoln and a 55-56 Ford, some F1s and a F100, and old White and Intenational all for sale. But you'll have to pick them up and bring your chainsaw.Livin' on Route 66

Love your car in the avatar. I hope mine will look like that one day. I'll probably be building my own frame since there isn't one. There might be one from a 4 door but I'll have to check to see if it will work. Originally Posted by LarryH

Just an example of what I'm talking about.
Obviously the belts aren't any good anymore.

And the sadest one there. Not much left to salvage. I'm afraid to move it. It will probably fall apart.
