1937 plymouth slantback 2 dr need some advice

This 36 is a pretty nice one. Wish I had bought it.

I ordered my ifs for my 46 from Scott's hot rods. Really nice setup too.

great info guys thank you. I found this car not 10 min from my house and the body is in very good shape. I installed a 225 slant six with a 727 auto and a E body 8 3/4 with 323 suregrip. have a ways to go but a blast to build. thanks again RJ

a cheap place for weather stripping-

Roberts Motor Parts is a great source for weatherstripping and some other stuff. Its nice to buy stuff from someone that knows what your working on.

Disc brake conversion from www.rustyhope.com if a kit for you car is not listed, Charlie may still have one, or he will make one for you. You buy the brackets and the machined bushing and he provides instructions and a parts list you source out yourself.

I had a 35 Dodge slant back 2 door sedan. After owning one without a trunk lid, I would have sprung for the extra money for a car with a trunk lid, if I was ordering a car new back then. Though there is storage behind the rear seat, it is limited and you have to access it through the back seat. The slant back sedans look a lot better then the hump back cars with a trunk lid, but the hump back lids are a lot more functional. Gene

Thats a cool car! I am trying to get a local guy to let me paint his. His was a 4 door converted to a 2 door. What are your plans?

thanks Gene. I went with your recommendation and bought a rustyhope set up. charlie has done his home work and I'm going to try his set up. thanks again RJ

my plan with the car is to build a fun driver out of it. newer drive train but leave the out side alone. just do what it needs lights,weather strip ect but no paint. I have never done one like this and its fun. maybe someday I might want to do the body and paint but not now. thanks for all the positive in put guys.
this pick is where the car was found over 15 years ago

sorry for taking so long here are some pics of the 225 auto install.

one of the motor mounts

thanks for all the help. I now have weather striping and disc brakes for my car.

I really like this build, it sounds interesting. Sounds like a Heinz '37 to me!
Where in Alberta do you live?
I would like to come and look at it one day if that would be okay.
P.M. me your contact info please.
Thanks,
Tom.

any 37/38 dodge, plymouth, or desoto i have parted out had a tube axle, as well as my 33 humpback, although it was a slightly different shape. i have seen chryslers that had a tube axle also, so

My 38 P6 had a tube axle.

thats a good question?? I have a freind with 2 37 plymouths and 4 38 dodges..I will have a look and see what they have,,mine looks original too the car.
