I hate to be one of those guys that dreams about what I should build next and then , never do  I have a couple ideas in my head , got rid of several things that had lost interest in and here is a couple ideas #1 would be a copy of the NHRA safety safari wagon , I may have located one .Its not the exact year but close enough I'm not going to spend a bunch on the project , its going to be a basic scuff and shoot paint job if I do do it , interior would be basic and cheap limited suspension mods is my basic plan

I have Gasser madness, I've always thought they were neat ..You see very few Mopars done , and there is only so many years that have the correct era to hit it right plus, too new the two doors would be too expensive to cut up ..
This is sitting local in a yard here and I like it , I can see it with a straight axle and the rear wheel wells cut out with pie crust wide white slicks in the back, it would get no paint work ..I'd like a little hemi but that might make the project a money pit so ,,318 ?

I got 2 more Plymouths from the from the same guy. One is a 4 door and the other is a coupe. They would make a cool gasser I always wanted to do a 4 door gasser. But I think they are little rough. But the price is right.

Big dad, take a look at this for ideas and hints. http://thefunnycarfarm.com/BTW, the car behind it sure looks familiar. If that's a '40, I sure could use the molding along the edge of the left hood side. It got 'lost' during the move....

If i did a gasser 64-65 Valiant 53,54,55,56 or maybe a 61 Plymouth Anything else just does not have the right looks for me , the 61 would be a stretch but, could get it cheap due to fact no one else would want one

I missed out on this, it would of got the gsasser treatment
Saw this on the HAMB too.Looked like an awesome car for the $ !'55's are cool,and the '56's are really cool with just a bit more fin.What about a'49/'50 business coupe?read > Honker?I saw the original Ramchargers Honker @ the Woodward dream cruise this past Aug.The next weekend I saw and heard it at the All Hemi Reunion in Ohio.Those funky looking megaphone exhaust pipes sounded very unique and very cool!Do you want it to be a tall gasser or low like the Ford you posted?I like them both low and high,but a straight axle I refer a high attitude.A'66/'67 B body high-rear wheels under the low wheel opening- with a straight axle is badd !!
