New build thread; 48 Plymouth

Nice job; not sure I want to replace the whole firewall or not. I'll have to see what it looks like when it comes back from the media blaster.

Nice article on how to do a plymouth. Will watch closely. I am negoiating for a 46 2 door. My concern is the bottom panels between the rear fender and trunk lid as they are rusted up pretty good and I am no body man. Not sure at this point how bad it is as all things have been done over the phone with email pics. May be into the trunk lip as well. I have seen new floor pans on ebay to redo the entire floor and I will probably need them as well. Good luck on your project. I have a 48 dodge pick up that is a current project. Other will be me my retirement present to me.

Nice to meet you, Lee. Good luck on getting the 46; I've found good and bad about these cars. The good is that they're not as popular as Chevys and Fords of the 40's so you can buy the cars and used parts much cheaper than Chevys or Fords. The bad news is that they're not as popular as Chevys or Fords of the 40's so companies that make reproduction sheet metal are few and far between and they really get top dollar for them. But there are still a lot of donor cars out there; check Ebay and www.P15-D24.com for parts. Good luck, let me know if I can be of any help!
