i brought home my 61 plymouth that has been at my buddies house (welder) for a year or so. i gave him a list of things to do and said take your time. here's a few pics of what we've been up to. i haven't had the car out since 1998. since it's been home, i painted the cage. i've got alot more to do.

i'm pretty excited to be working on it a little since it's been sort of a place to stack stuff on in the garage for a LONG time. it's cool to see my ideas finally amounting to something.
i hope to began the body work soon, but i may wire the car first and get the brakes working soon as well. the list of things to do is plenty long.

That's awesome! What are you thinking for color? Drivetrain?

Reminds me of my first car; a '61 Phoenix. We nicknamed it "The Beast". It had a solid lifter polysphere 318. Plexiglass in the rear window is worth .2 in the quarter.

Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

i've had a color picked out for about ten years, but now am rethinking it.... as for a drivetrain, i would love to do a big hemi, but most likely a blown 440ish wedge.

yeah, the square wheel HAD to stay... it's too easy to put a "normal" wheel in it. it took some work making the mopar square wheel fit on the genaric motors aftermarket column. i'm trying to keep a mopar/pentastar theme with this car.

as for the engine setback, yes... there was plenty of room, so why not?!

i'll post a couple more pics. let me know what you all think
