When I put my car together I had a hard time trying to make up my mind as
what I wanted to do, like play, show, are just what. After having pulled my
hair out I made up my mind to just put it together for pleasure and the way I
wanted it to look. It has full power and factory air (lots if cars got
robbed to get these goodies). I actually wanted to use like factory interior
but it got a red velour. I also changed from the 2 speed tran to the 3 speed.
The car only had power steering when I got it. The car came from Long
Island N Y and was not too much of a rust bucket. Had to replace both
fenders. The color is 57 carnival red paint. I found, after look a long
period of time the parts that it took to make the engine into a Fury engine.
The car came with a 301 cu engine so I put a 318 crank in it. It has the 2-4
carb setup. I sent the carbs to the Carburetor Shop Inc. in Rancho
Cucamonga, Calif, however I dont recomend them very highly. The 57 didn't
come with power windows on the rear windows but I added it anyway. The only
item that is not Chry is the power antenna. The 42oz. top is white and I got
it form Bill Hirsch (had good luck dealing with him). But I had one of so
called experts to put the top on and royaly screwed it up so I went back to
Hirsch and bought another one, this one I will install my self. I watched
this expert and it's not that big of a deal. I had the speedo refaced to
150mph and recalibrated and put back to all 0's for milage. I have over
1,000 on the engine. The engine has a lot of chrome as well as the inside.
Well guys I will let go for now. As you can tell I love talking about my car
as I am sure u all do to. That is part of the fun. Also I have a 1949 Chevy
(sorry guys) that is rebuilt and has 54,000 original miles. It is a 4dr
Fleetline. It is nice but it is not a Plymouth.
