My 38 Plymouth project

The floor was ordered from Direct Sheet Metal. It is for a 38 Chevy, so some modification was required. Front axle is from a 1964 Ford Econoline Van.

Thanks John, the brakes system is from Master Power Brakes. I put in the side rails and measured my gap to get the largest power assist unit I could. Ended up being a 7" power unit. Disc brakes on the front and large Ford drums on the back.

The list of "want" to do's I have here is HUGE!!!!!!

My BIGGEST GOAL is to stayed focused and not do projects that can wait until the important/essential are done.

Changing/improving the brake system is near the top of the list.



With the pace things get done around here my plans are to keep the car "usable" while it is being worked on this year. Then next Winter I will get into the more time consuming projects (mostly wants) There is lots too keep me busy!!!!

I wanted the license plate to set into the trunk lid since it is so huge.

I also welded the rear fenders solid and molded them and the drip rails. Had to replace the lower panels behind both doors and the rear roll pan area.

OMG I finally got the downsizing picture thing whipped. At least for now. I found a fella that used to work for one of the big header outfits in SoCal. He's retired now and does a little side work when he wants. He was thrilled that I wanted fenderwell headers. Took him most of the day, but got them done way faster than I would have even thought possible. Plus he came to my shop and did them on site.

He left me plenty of clearance for the steering and lots of room to get into the engine.

These are photos of the rear roll pan. It was pretty well beat up and I could see from underneath that the ends were rusted out. I cut out the outer panel and found out the inner panel wasn't much better. I was able to trim it and replace that part. I found some replacement corners on epay for the outer panel. They were close to being right.
