Yeah, sounds like one heck of a good plan to me, that Pat, he be Da Man wit Da Plan!!!!!!

Hey Scooter, go back and read Pat McCarthey's post, he has on heck of a good idea for an engine!!!!!:LOL::LOL:

That would be Project X.. It's still alive and well and recently had yet another rebuild... Don't think it was ever a straight axle car, though. It's very nicely done now!!!

Definitely gonna be a stick, Scooter! No other way to do it, is there???

Yeah, want it look like it's right out of about 1966 when it's done.... Might sound selfish or egotistical but the main reason I got the car and will most likely build it myself is to keep it from...

Man, I tell ya...anymore if I don't make a note or otherwise write it down, it's gone!!!

Hoping to get some time next month to get going on the '57. Getting some things planned out (another...

How the heck do you remember something from 3 years ago Bob??? Heck, I don't remember what I had for breakfast this morning..... Hmmmm, wonder if I had breakfast this morning?:whacked:

Thanks for the link Rich, great video!!!! The red and black '57 was a very nice car, and a lot of other very well known cars on their too! I'd love to someday replicate the Malco Gasser Mustang!!! ...

Hadn't thought about it much before, but '57 was sort of the end for a styling era.... I think that whatever marque you care to talk about '57 was really the end of the "simplicity and functional"...

Thanks Don! With all the good help on here, should be able to come up with enough facts, specs, and pics to do the car justice!!!

Would like either the Olds or Pontiac that was used so much back then, but then I've already got a couple of 9" Fords around....

Worked on the Plymouth all day yesterday and today too, but I did...

Thanks Whiplash! Yeah, that dog of mine is one vicious beast,:rolleyes: sometimes he even barks if he doesn't get a treat when he thinks he should!:LOL:

Yeah, just thinking I can use the old design with new technology to get the right look and perhaps improve on their performance.... Got to have the long bars, for sure!!!! A modern 4 bar would...

Question:
On the ladder bar pics that Don put up, the top picture with the wheelie bars has the straight bar on the bottom, the other picture has the straight bar on top.... As a general rule on...

:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:Now that sounds like my kind of engine!!!!!

Thanks Richard, I got it now... The two tone black and white 150 really looks sharp!

So, only the 210's had the area on the quarters between the chrome painted then????? Thinking like the body in blue or red, then the insert (or whatever it's called) and the roof done in white????

Yeah, seems like it Don!!! Got to get the '36 Plymouth done and gone, then a roadster project is coming in...it's an easy build so I'm planning on getting the '57 in, dissassembled, and off to the...

That is a neat look!!!! I'm a Ford guy, forgot the 150's had different trim... Were the 210's and Bel Airs trimmed the same, or were they different, too?

A guy I went to school with, Charlie Carter, wrenched on Beswick's car in the mid 60's!!!! Short little dude with one eye, you guys ever run across him out there??? After working with Beswick,...

HRP, Shake, Rattle, and Run looks to have a bunch of engine set back---any idea what year the picture was taken? The drag racer in me sez the engine set back has got to help a bunch with the launch...

Looks like "Honky Tonkin" has the spindle mount look bolt on 10 spoke wheels with front brakes???? Kewl, keeps the look plus has brakes on the front, not a bad idea....

Hmmmm. 9.83 with a 454, Hilborn's, and a really first rate wheels up launch!!!!! Man, ya gott love that!!!!

:LOL::LOL::LOL:Yeah, good point. Actually, the first part I ordered for the build was a new pit canopy!!!!!!!!:LOL::LOL::LOL:

Thanks Richard, the Yenko site is great!!! Looked at the electronic EFI for Hilborns some time back for another project....Think I'd be boo'd off the track if I had EFI?????
