36 Plymouth Roadster at R.A.W. RODS Restorations & Customs

[HotRod47]

Wow!

[r.a.w.rods]

Now the fun part! Strip it all down and get it ready for body work.










No Black or Red street rod here.

[r.a.w.rods]

Finished Cleaning up the HEMI and painting the transmission. Customer decided to do body color floor coating plus the belly pans will cover most of the bottom any way.

[r.a.w.rods]

Frame is coming together pretty good. The front is Fatman IFS and the rear is a TCI rear 4 link with sway bar. I have also upgraded all the bolts to ARP stainless.

[r.a.w.rods]

Because I will have belly pans I need to get the E-brake cables up out of the way. So I milled some aluminum rings to go on the 4 link bars to hold the cables in line and keep them up off the paint.

As always, Beautiful Work.

Sweet ride

[r.a.w.rods]

Engine and frame done and ready for the body.

[r.a.w.rods]

Before we set the body on the frame we did all the body work on the firewall and painted it. I really wanted the body mounted for the last blocking so everything would come out nice and straight.

[r.a.w.rods]

Firewall painted and body tightened down for the last time for blocking. So far it's all lining up as planned.

[r.a.w.rods]

Now for the sanding party!!

[Motown 454]

It looks great, nice and straight in the gray primer.

Thanks, so far so good! Its all wet sanded and painted now. I like when we get to color sand & buff.



This is just a mock up wheel but I think a 17 front and 18 rear in the Artillery style is what the customer is wanting. Still not a 100% on that yet.

[r.a.w.rods]

Time for some Green!!

[r.a.w.rods]

Now that the trunk lid is good and dry we flipped it over to make a fiberglass mold for the upholstery.




New Dynamat down witch is on top of Lizard Skin. Probably over kill but O well.




Jute mat carpet done on the fire wall so now the wiring can start, O what fun!
