Hi Kmrumedy, I´m fare away from you but I have the same car now in restauration ( see here at FABO ) ... and I´m learning what costs will come ( but your sheet metal looks better than at my 1938 and so that will be cheaper for you). Don´t know what you wanna do with that car exactly, but if you...

The engine for that car should be the old 318 from the Plymouth Duster ( the Duster has a 392 stroker now ), but the motor blows a little bit blue, so I brought it to the motor shop, give him new pistons with 0.030 over and new gaskets. Now that motor waits for his put on the frame. Behind that...

The "new" axle :

@sireland67 : I had a second offer for a 38 with a BB, but a little rusty and for a higher price ( 14 k - ok, may be thats the price for the oversea buyers) - in this condition I think it is too much - but the car looks complete. If anyone´s interested I can make the contact. Peter

So, winter is always here and nothing is gone forward on the car. Dislike it !!! :banghead: Only the wheels have a new color + tires. Looks good with the overhault caps + new chrom bolts. Now only the outer chrome rings I have to install. The engine ist still waiting, but I need dry weather (...

Today I overhauled the caps... have a look here: Peter

Steel wheels with new 215-60R14 at front and 235-60R14 rear tires. This time the wheels will be sandblasted and colored like aluminium metallic, chrom rings at the outer and rally caps at the inner side I have to polish and give new color outside the chrome, have a look to the pics: like I...

Since today the Duster has his grille again. Some small work there is to do on the chrome parts to bring them on the absolutely correct place, but it looks already that the Duster has a new "face". Peter
