Well, I'm new to forums so bear with me a bit. I just purchased a 1942 Plymouth Business Coupe. It's an old story "Like I had in high school". I also want to add disc brakes and drop it down some. I have been talking to Plydo and also Lee Damon at Custom Rodder magazine. He wrote some articles on brakes and suspension for his '51 Plymouth in Rod & Custom a year or so ago. The brakes article is in the September 2004 Rod & Custom, and the suspension is on the Rod & Custom internet site. I was able to reach him by e-mailing Rod & Custom. Nice guy.

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to keep the flathead or put in a small block. Everyone has an opinion. Anyone want to express their's while I'm still in the deciding stage? The car looks pretty good and the little motor runs nice. The one I had in high school had the six and could bark the tires going into 3rd, if I hit it just right. I had 14 inch wheels and an Ansen's floor shift. Wish I could find that linkage again...
