New Project Car

[123 pugsy]

 Sorry Guys, but I just struck a deal for an... UGHH 41 Chrysler 2 door coupe.

 I've always wanted an older rod and I'll probably install a newer style Chevy fuel injected drive train.

looks like a good place to start!

Wow cool project! Is that the factory look of that body or has anything been done
to it in the pics? I'm not able to tell but it looks real kool! Nice sleek lines.

NICE! I like the looks of it. Not to jump the fence, but why not put Chrysler power in it, 383 / 440, or better yet a Hemi. You can pick up smaller cube 392 etc. old school Hemi for reasonable $$.
 Maybe even a new style Hemi?

Ya , my buddy said the same thing. Maybe I can get a nice Dodge thats been wrecked as a donor for parts including steering ,brakes, suspensoin, tranny...etc. dorr locks,dashboard stuff....

That body is factory look and doesn't appear that it would need many body mods as it has a good shape. I was gonna get a 39 Chevy until I came across this and fell in love with the look it has. It has a nice big back seat as well for the kids.

Very cool Pugsy! U aren't getting rid of ole yeller are ya?

As far as the new Hemi's go I wouldn't waste my $ You'd do much better bang for your buck with a 440BB

I have a 5.7L Hemi sitting on the stand out of a new dodge truck. Let's put it this way, it failed the durability test miserably.

Nothing wrong with saving old iron.

Great Project - Are you keeping your yeller truck?

[Blazin]

You really want to blow peoples minds drop a V10, and a 6 speed out of a Viper in it!!

Ya ,I think its quite cool. I'll be doing some body mods to smooth out the front lumps and bulges.

The yeller banana is not going anywhere. I just finished rebuilding a 700r4 for it so I'll be cruising around in her for many more years.

That would be quite nice, but probably pricey like crazy.

Looks like a solid platform from the pics. I would love to find a 40ish chevy coupe to rod out, love the fat fendered era cars. Even around a 53 chevy/gmc truck would be nice

Really nice find! I love the old rods too! Are you going to share your progress on this site? I'd be intrested in seeing the build-up.

I don't think I'll be posting progress here as its not in the scheme of things with this site, but I may drop a link to my project journal I'll be doing on another site.

You can if you want to Pugsy...
