The '32 Roadster
After only ten years of waiting, the 1932 Plymouth roadster went to the shop today. It will begin the conversion to a V-8 Hemi-powered streetrod. The engine and transmission are ready to go, but we have a lot of work to do to get the body and chassis ready.My friend Monty Love came up early today and helped load the car onto the trailer. Then he and I rode to Dan and Deron Shady's shop where most of the work will be done. Monty drove my truck and trailer back while I drove my '32 Plymouth coupe, which had been at Deron's. I couldn't have done this without Monty, who is recovering from neck surgery. What a champ!
The roadster currently has a 1951 Plymouth 6-cylinder engine and a transmission of unknown origin. Deron Shady will start yanking these out on Monday. I can already hear the glass packs...
