New build thread; 48 Plymouth

[stovens]

Falcon, you gave me a great idea. If I can build a bracket to offset my motormount by say 1 1/2 " foward, on the drivers side, Ill have the clearance I need to get my headers to fit, with out having to move the whole engine foward by 1 1/2 inches, just might fix my problem! Thanks for your post!

[falconvan]

Yeah, Id rather move the mount than the motor, Stovens. Glad it might have helped you!

We finally got the decklid, doors and rear fenders on, primered, and sprayed with guidecoat. Now for a lot of wet sanding and hopefully some color in the near future.

Car is really looking good now that it's all in primer!!!! Time to get out the water bucket and the 400 grit, going to be great to see this one in color, Falcon!!!!!

Me, too! It feels like I've been stuck in one place for a long time.

I was painting a 95 Honda Civic I bought to get it ready for re-sale and ended up with 1/2 gallon of Corvette Red left over so I found a good use for it. Now all my interior parts and wheels are done. Pardon the crappy cell phone pics.

looks good! That should contrast the white body nicely...with a red pin stripe it'll all pull together

That's the plan, 35. Red and white interior and find a good pinstriper for some fancy stuff.

Well, if it was mine, I'd go with a creamy white vs refrigerator white and on the red pin stripes, less is more.....but wait! It's not mine and nobody asked me!!!! So, do it however you like, falconvan!!!
You've done an amazing job on the build thus far!!!!!

Thanks! That's kind of where I'm going, Randy. The white im using is from the 95 Porshe color chart.

Im with you, Dave! Red is one of my all time favorites.

[Dave Severson]

The red is really going to be great in the car....but then my name is Dave and I'm a redaholic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[falconvan]

Not much exciting to show but lots of wet sanding going on It took about 10 hours just to do the door and part of the cowl and quarter. I dont know if its Nason primer or that I let it dry for a few weeks before starting sanding but this stuff is really hard to sand.

Lookin' good! I wish mine were up to this point. I am about to drag my 46 Chrysler coupe to the shop soon though...
