Lets start at the beginning....

Class-o-09's 1938 Plymouth Deluxe Hickory Corners, MI - 2 This is what i started with, when i was 15

Looked fine from about 500ish feet back, at this angleClass-o-09's 1938 Plymouth Sedan

Class-o-09's 1938 Plymouth Deluxe Hickory Corners, MI - 3 I wont lie, it came with the 350 but it needed work, this is a good pic of it.(i dont have the original flathead six, so please dont ask,) I want to put a Hemi in it, if you agree or not, please vote in my poll.

 

Class-o-09's 1938 Plymouth Deluxe Hickory Corners, MI - 4 First step in building a street rod, oblitertate...Including the paint

Class-o-09's 1938 Plymouth Sedan You can see my lil' tiny rear wheels and tires. They came with the car, i put some smoothies and bigger tires on when I got it running. That afternoon i went to the mopar show at Gilmore Car Muesem.(Mopars in the Red Barns)

Class-o-09's 1938 Plymouth Sedan Thats my grandpa's dakota. He put off his project to work on mine. We did all the work on mine in his garage, because i dont have a garage at my house. He plans to put a hopped up 350 in the dakota, already has the engine built, just never got around to putting it in. Maybe it will have its own page some day. (I'll make it for him, cuz he wouldnt do it himself). It is supposed to be like a NASCAR truck.

These are the four pieces of my two hoods, along with some other peices that are now blue.

Class-o-09's 1938 Plymouth Deluxe Hickory Corners, MI - 7 Interior comes last

Class-o-09's 1938 Plymouth Deluxe Hickory Corners, MI - 6 I made a disc brake conversion up front and you can see my corvette booster and cylinder in this pic. Good ole' speedway, i ordered and paid for a black booster cuz it was alot cheaper. They sent me the shiny one I have on there now. Im not complaining. I would've replaced those rusty headers, but now that the car all together you cant see them anyway...

Class-o-09's 1938 Plymouth Deluxe Hickory Corners, MI - 8 My almost-completed interior

Class-o-09's 1938 Plymouth Sedan  That is the original speedo. There is no way this thing went 100 mph with it's original flathead six. I am still using it, but it is a little off, 55 mph is 68 on the speedo

Last, but not least; drive around to all the car shows and show off, gloat alot, and then get bored and write it all down on an internet page one day. it has a 350 chevy V-8 pumping through a 400 turbo tranny to a 3.55 rear end out of a 57 chevy. It is getting a dodge 360 with a 727 this winter though. All the suspension and steering components are orignal. Basicly: it accelerates fast, will stop fast, but wont turn very well, and doesnt like bumps. It has the turn radius of a dump truck, due to the disc brakes getting in the way of the control arm. Seriously, my step-dad's dodge ram 2500 diesel turns better and is easier to park. But ive gotten used to parking and driving it, and i wouldnt give it up for all the money in the world. By the way, I'm now seventeen.
