Psychographic Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 I decided to toss the coilovers and go with airbags. The bags. Rear Front I added some braces to the frame. It still needs a trans mount, but I'm waiting on an engine so I don't know where it needs to go. She sits pretty low!
Bartster Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Very nice! Thanks for the pics. lf you don't mind, l might steal your susp. for my Plymouth woody! Keep up the good work. Bart.
Psychographic Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 I dropped the body in place to check the stance.
blackandwhite Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Looks like it sits just right. nice cutting
bryan_m Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 very cool! the frame looks awesome, and so does the stance! cheers bryan

Psychographic Posted October 6, 2012 Author Posted October 6, 2012 While I'm waiting on a motor, I decided to work on the interior. It's now cemented to the chassis floorpan, the start of the tunnel for the rear to tuck into, and a platform to mount the dash/console from a 39 Wagon Rod. The seats are also from the Wagon Rod. The dash fits the windshield contour perfectly. While I had the Wagon Rod open, I played around with it for about 20 minutes, this is what I came up with so far.
Psychographic Posted October 6, 2012 Author Posted October 6, 2012 A little more work on the interior. Reworked the tunnel and added the accent piece for the rear tunnel. I really didn't like the "Euro" look of the Wagon Rod dash, but the shape was something I thought I could work with. I made sides for the center section of the dash that flows back into a console out of .030 sheet and covered the top with .010. I'll laminate that with a second layer later. In place with the seats, everything fits well. I still can't believe how perfect a fit the dash is. I still have to cap the ends of the dash, but that will have to wait until the door panels are figured out.
Psychographic Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 Thanks guys. A little more work on the interior, swapped out the Wagon Rod seats for the Mustang ones. Made a steering column with turn signal and tilt controls for the PE wheel.
Bartster Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Man this is coming out nice! l'm gonna have to get a Wagon Rod! l've been hearing for years they have nice parts.
Psychographic Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Man this is coming out nice! l'm gonna have to get a Wagon Rod! l've been hearing for years they have nice parts. Thanks. Your '41 Plymouth is looking good. The Wagon Rod does come with some neat stuff, airide suspension with tubular A arms up front and a 4 link in the back, LS5 (I think ) engine, some cool looking modern seats, it's definitely a good donor kit.

bryan_m Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 this is lookin really cool! youre making me want to do the one i have like this.........but thats more body work than i can handle! keep it goin! cheers bryan
Psychographic Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 .but thats more body work than i can handle! Not from what I've seen of your work. If you have the patience and skill to do those wire wheels, you could easily tackle a job like this. Now go cut that Woody up!
bryan_m Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 thanks David! how are you gonna do the wood? i need to find a technique to use when i do mine.......any "how tos" around? thanks bryan
