I was in Loss Wages on business this week and had the opportunity to meet up with P15D24 Forum Member Richard Fleetwood (forum handle RFleetwood). Rich showed me his project car a 1950 Plymouth 2 door convertible. Sorry that I only took one picture but the battery on my camera was done and I was lucky to snap the one below.
The car is all there but needs a good deal of TLC. Rich has the drive train out and intends to put in a Mopar 318 V8 with automatic transmission. He is currently welding in new floor metal and once completed, he will be removing the body for a frame off restoration and customization. The floor is coming out great due to Rich's excellent welding skills and he has already put in cross members to keep the body true when he pulls it off the frame.
Lots of work to be done but when finished this is going to be one sweet ride.
I know this is Off Topic for our forum but I get a big kick out of meeting others in the hobby and seeing what they are doing to keep their old Plymouths on the road. Remember the better majority of Plymouths out there are just not good candidates for all original show queens. But most make great drivers and most of the drivers are nice people.
