Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 1935 plymouth hot rod build.

Well goes to show as a union guy of 44 years, I did not notice the other worker.

As always....amazing work! Thanks for sharing!

WOW !!

Frikken AWESOME !

we are considering paint.

That thing is SWEET!!

You'll have to let me know what shows that beast is going to be at this summer!

Beautiful work, sir.

Looks like you're one foot-pedal short, where you gonna plumb the clutch?

I gotta ask...? ballpark is more than close enough. Have no clue what the cost could be.

Very impressive work, always enjoy your posts. I can't even imagine the work this entails, you're basically building this from scratch. Uuf da, I need to go rest now.

$75/hr

$100/hr if you watch

$150/hr if you help

$200/hr if you worked on it 1st.

That's a helluva good plan.

Very impressive metalwork. Do you use a CNC plasma or hand cut the parts?

You mentioned stringing a few wires. Are there basic wiring harnesses available for this type of Hot Rod or do you have to create everything from scratch? That seems like it would be a huge amount of work by itself.

I suppose the client spec'ed the tail lights, but it always seemed to me that one of the shortcomings of old cars was the woefully inadequate lights. I am not criticizing, but I would encourage you to add more square inches of tail lights for safety.

Thanks,
Jerry

He brought to the right guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we cut with band saw, plasma torch, nibbler, stomp shear, beverly shear, cut off wheel, hole saw, circle cutter with plasma... whatever works best for the situation.

I agree on the tail light comment. these are pretty bright though. LED and 2 strips vs single slim strip. Hopefully they will be very bright.

As for wiring, we have a performance engine harness but we are wiring everything else from scratch. Basically tying a couple of different systems together, the keyless ignition and door openers have to work with the rest of the stuff. then lights, horn, radio, AC, radio etc is all separate.

So that what you guys do all winter in Minnesota..

Thanks for the share, it looks great..

I'm going to guess 40k+ without the paint.

That's cool as hell

That is awesome Dave!! Very challenging but worth it as it's a badass car when done.

Funny thing on the IFS, A buddy of mine bought a 1940 ford pickup project off of some guy and he had the Mustang II IFS on the front and it was all wrong as well. he had to do much of what you did, but it all worked out in the end. The geometry for the rear was mucked as well and he had to relocate bar brackets. Gonna be a badass truck when he's done. he's 74 years old and figures this will be his last build when he's done, he's not positive he'll finish this one so I told him I would if he didn't, he thought that was funny as he knows I hate bodywork.......

You have a lot of difficult fabrication going on, I'm very impressed with the results. That car is going to be cooler than cool when it's done.

I wanna hear that bad boy run!

Sweet rig, Dave!!!

If it matters, this is the most fun for me to watch you build. For a lot of reasons. VERY cool car. LOVE the modern suspension/motor/trans so you can take it cross country without even thinking about it. But the amount of skill you've shown in this build is simply amazing to me. Excellent work Dave.
