Stewart's 48 Plymouth

This rod was traded off between club members in the middle of the build.

Figured I'd post Steve Vicker's new 49 he got today because he still lives in a cave and has no computer. the car has a good body on it. it is a killer start to a cool rod. the body work is almost done. all the glass is super nice. it has a 80's G body front clip with a Camaro rearend. power steering, power brakes, all the light & turn signals work. it has a Chevy 350/350 with a few go goodies on her. he traded the Elky and some cash for it.

this is the car as he bought it. he says he is going to lower it, change the wheels and tire combo and toss on some paint. he said he wants me to lay out some flames on it when he get the paint done.

did he get this off craigslist.


good looken ride...

he found it at the punkin run and has been trying to talk her down from that time. he gave in and came off some of that cash he has.

i need to get busy working on mine.

Its a early 49 and it has the same body as the 46 to 48s,I heard about the early 49s but have never seen one so if its titled as a 49 and the numbers match its a early 49. If he wants to get rid of the wheels I could use them for the 37 if I go with GM bolt pattern. Jeff

when I seen it I told him it didn't look like a 49 to me but he says it is. I told him it looked like a 46. I'll ask him about the rims. he's taking them off. steelies and wide white are going on it he said

lol first thing dad said is it was a 48 ....lol

Basicly a early 49 is a 48 only titled as a 49,he could take it to street rod only shows if he says its a 48.

What kind of exhaust has that thing got. Loud or quiet? Glass pacs or big seamed mufflers?

So I traded my 34 Dodge off. I'm now the owner of this Plymouth. I had a few offers at the Pumpkin' Run for my 34 Dodge. One that most of the guys there got on me about was turning down a 51 Merc 2 door. I'm not CRAZY about a Mer' so I passed on it and a few more that didn't look bad. I settled on Vickers Plymouth. Some may be scratching their heads but I know this car and have driven it myself to shows. It sits on a late model frame with PS, PB and more comfort than the last few cars I've owned has.
Is the Plymouth road worthy as my beaters are???





.
The old Plymouth has been in my site on more long hauls than any other club car has. Southern Kentucky, Northern Ohio, Indy as well as a few local shows.

46 Chevys with the roofs hacked off are as cool as 51 Mercs but I want something that will get me down the highway when I want to go.

Overlook my old 34. I didn't have any clear pics of the Plymouth. As you can see Vickers was still on his RAT ROD kick

He took off the mags and replaced them with a set of old rusty rims and a junkyard set of ground white wall. I didn't want it sitting in front of the house with those wheels. I had Corey and AJ scrub the WWW and I tossed on a set of Desoto hubcaps just to get by till I find some cool wheels.

How much work would it be to paint that car? I want to see some pics of it with clean whitewalls and caps on it.

This was actually John B.s post. He didn't notice that I was still signed in. A downfall of sharing a computer.

Satin black, wide whites, Cad hub caps or BLACK rims with baby moons (Spiders are way to expensive), Straight thru seamless mufflers and 3" chrome cannons (no stainless), Lowered, 49 Lincoln tail lights, Frenched headlightd, nosed, decked, shaved, keep the center brake light, minimal amount of pin stripe

Oh yeah, orignal style bumpers.

or
Satin black, 17" Cargar ss w/black walls (no white letters) straight thru seamless mufflers and 3" chrome cannons (no stainless), raked with the front a little lower than the rear, all the chrome and stainless painted to match the body, dark tinted windows. The only chrome would be wheels and cannons.

I see a lot of those pics are from the drive to Columbus when you clowns ran off and left Madonna and I but yet we were at the track long b4 you guys???
