53 Plymouth Cranbrook business coupe

I bought this car in 2004 after telling the owner not to get rid of it for over 2 years. I'm sure he still regrets that decision! These 2 pics are from the Mopar Spring Fling 2007 at Woodley Park in Van Nuys Ca. I just finished a complete up grade of everything, and took home some magazine trophy's. This led to a cover shot and 3 page story in Street Rodder magazine. The pic in my garage is a complete up grade to a drag and drive car. Just waiting for Quarter Mile Performance to finish assembly dyno of the 340 stroker engine. Please leave comments or questions about the build. Lots to talk about!

Not my era, but that looks good!

very cool!

what's the chassis/suspension set up?

Nice! I’m in the process of gathering parts for my 47 Dodge sedan build. My latest acquisition is a58q 392 Hemi that I sold to a friend a few years ago. His plans changed so I was able to buy it back
