1931 plymouth(ish) rat! (first build)

[andya1234]

hello all!!! been meaning to do this for awhile. started my first build a few months ago, so im way behind on putting it on here for you to see. ill try to get this up to speed. anyway bought a 31 plymouth 2dr sedan here in SC. in the 50s the back section of the roof was cut off to use as a pickup on the farm i got it from. crazy!

 

[andya1234]

i decided when i got it home to go ahead and build a pickup by cutting the remainder of the quarters off and framing in the rear to make a cab.

 

[andya1234]

stripped down!

 

[andya1234]

started throwin sheet metal at it. reused original oval rear window including bullet holes in glass! cut the body line out of removed quarters and put them across the back. also remounted the doors...suicide!

after lookin over the plymouth chassis i decided there was just to much rot for me to feel safe patching and using. so found Mr. Pope at RPM (www.eztbucket.com) on here and gave him a call. he fixed me right up with a new chassis to my specs, front disc brake kit, mounts for my dual leaf chevy axle to make it a suicide front end, and some other misc. parts.

 

[andya1234]

here it is as of last weekend. got the 4 link kit welded on that i got from Mr. Pope at RPM. and threw the cab back on to get the first look of it on the new chassis......cant wait to get this thing rollin!!!

 

[Dirtyrat]

That does look really good!

 

[Tim...Ok]

Good job saving that and turning it into something useable..Looking really good..

Great build! Looks great! I've got a 30 Dodge 1-1/2 ton truck I'm building into a rpu. Keep up the good work and keep us posted!

 

[andya1234]

been workin steady on the plymouth lately. got the rearend and rear suspension done.

 

[andya1234]

got a tranny a couple weeks ago and was able to get the cab in place. my dad was in town for thanksgiving and we knocked out the bed and cab mounts! came together pretty good. wasnt sure what i was going to do until we started working on it, but ive got to say it changed the overall look i thought i was heading towards.
