    '50 Plymouth finally home

     



    Had to wait for a break in the weather among other things, to get my '50 Plymouth Special Deluxe club coupe home but it's here.

    My plans are simple. Make it safe, make it stop and make it reliable.. It's currently registered and inspected but I think the brakes need attention. They stop as good as they should without a pull at all, but one or more sounds crunchy. The PO claims to have redone them but I'm not sure.. Scarebird front discs likely since the Lockeed dual cylinder setup on the front takes a special tool and is over complicated anyway. The rear's I'll just adjust and replace as best I can. There's a place local that can arc shoes and I guess if they are arced and fitted, the adjustment isn't as critical

    Other than that, I'm going to put a seat cover over the seat ( rear is fine, front is tattered ) and just drive it.. No real build thread on this one. Summer daily driver and hit up some shows with it
