Great job so far Nick! I watch with great enthusiasm as I AM a MOPAR man! Nick, I say again, you are gifted in the automotive arena. Someday you're talent will be recognized as others here on you tube. Take your time and do it right, don't rush a good thing.
If you can't find the right summer step then you'll make yourself an adapter plate for the smaller size and I'm sure you have enough room on the water neck you can always shimmer out whether Mr. Gasket
Gonna be awesome! I understand that recovering some money would be great. Those OD transmissions are becoming unobtanium. I wouldn’t sell it if I were in your shoes.
I would have just took the backside of the finger's leaves from the car and pull the whole front clip away because it's gonna be a whole lot easier to do that if you ever have to do anything to it in the future always have a buddy understand by pursuff like that
The engine may be original they built that engine from the 30s through the early 60s and if the the block was on the shelf they would have used it it was used in military truck and car applications
I love the wagon my friend Marge has a58 Plymouth custom Suburban two door station wagon318 poly push button Auto runs and drives great she bought it from a dumb kid who inherited from his grandfather he had no interest in the car she bought it in Iowa$450 in drove it home to Milwaukee it's a cool car it has some Rust but runs great I love the old Mopar wagons have a great day thanks for the video
Hats off to you young man smashing project you got going on there, just shows that you don't need mega bucks to do a build. Gives us normal driveway spanner wielding builders hope. Crack on cupcake. Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧
I would just loop the power steering lines together and lift the bullet on it and just let it free flow spin the power steering pump but each guy is only way you know what I mean
@@somewhatfast the part where the electric speedometer goes in simply on some the electric part screws off and a cable screws on. If yours isn't that way you find older I think 1982 ram 1500 has speedometer cable. If you can't find one I have some
@@somewhatfast great if you run into problems connecting let me know. i think your electronic part unscrews from the manual part. you will notice that there is numbers on the round part that goes into trans that is for different gear ratio diffs you change the gear to match your gear ratio and the speedometer will read correctly you can find a chart on google and ebay has the gears. there is a short gear and a long gears yours should be the short one
I'm adding carpet, Leather bucket BMW seats for the front and a leather bench for the rear Upholstery shop wants more to cover front and back thans than I have in the whole car $3000 I just can't justify that.
@@edwarddodge4886 I had to shift the engine over an inch, la 360 oil pan, and i used 71 plymouth fury mounts trans tunnel on these cars are offset and ford explorer 8.8 is offset too. You will see im busy with my regular job but ill get it edited and out out asap.
@@jamesbosworth4191 I think you didn't pay attention to the whole point of the videos. The project was to get the build as close to $0 as possible. Plus its my car, I can whatever I want with it.
Your car. Your money. Do what you want, ignore the keyboard commandos
Thanks Tom 💪

Thank you Robert I appreciate that. Its going to be a fun car.

Awesome project! I love these old mopars. I can't wait to see what it does with that engine under the hood.
Thanks bernie, its going to be a really cool cruiser
Love that intro!! 👍💪
Thank you!
Added the D150 driving into the septic puddle on the intro 😂
@@somewhatfast Epic!
Great video, excited to see next week if it runs and drives.
Nick going to be one strong Plymouth wagon. Congratulations! Good job. ❤️💯
I'm so excited im losing sleep thinking about cruising it! Thank you

Good.job 😄👍👍👏👏👏cool car
I'd left the 6 cyl. flathead and built it . Good luck with your build . Looking forward to seeing how this turns out .
Nice work!
Thanks Peter

Older 318 like 1970 had larger thermostat

Thanks gilbert, I'd love to see that 58 she should call it the Christine family edition
These are super rare nowadays. Classic cars, even if not valuable Full Classics from the 30s, should be kept STOCK.
Thanks for watching

Thanks Gary wait till i do the price break down at the end of the series!
Nice dart
Thank you its a 71 it was my first car saved up $1000 working at a grocery store in highschool to buy it.
Make a heck of a grocery getter!
I would just loop the power steering lines together and lift the bullet on it and just let it free flow spin the power steering pump but each guy is only way you know what I mean
Thats exactly What I did! part 2 is up
NICE!
You can change the speedometer sensor on transmission where your car cable will work
Original Speedocable is broken how would I go about making that set up work
@@somewhatfast the part where the electric speedometer goes in simply on some the electric part screws off and a cable screws on. If yours isn't that way you find older I think 1982 ram 1500 has speedometer cable. If you can't find one I have some
@@somewhatfast you can usually buy the inner cable for your housing or they make universal cables you can put together
@@DependableAutoTruck I just ordered a stock 1955 cable for 8 bucks on rock auto.

Man, you have got a GOOD woman and you had better be good to her. Women that will help you lift off a front cap don't come along every day!
That is very true I got lucky
I have a question , why not add carpet and get a cover for the rear bench seats? Anyhow love how it looks
I'm adding carpet, Leather bucket BMW seats for the front and a leather bench for the rear Upholstery shop wants more to cover front and back thans than I have in the whole car $3000 I just can't justify that.
@@somewhatfast you could DIY the upholstery , great plan for the car :)
Have u figured out how to make lockup and overdrive work. There are some easy ways let me know if I can help you
Haven't got that far into it yet but I think I have an idea. If I need help I will definitely come back to this message.
LA mount works
The entire build is done i used mounts from a 1972 plymouth fury i think
You gonna put that flat 6 in the 51?
Don't know yet
Is part 2 out
Not yet working on the video
@@somewhatfast very curious about what mounts you ended up using and whether or not it cleared the steering
@@edwarddodge4886 I had to shift the engine over an inch, la 360 oil pan, and i used 71 plymouth fury mounts trans tunnel on these cars are offset and ford explorer 8.8 is offset too. You will see im busy with my regular job but ill get it edited and out out asap.
@@edwarddodge4886 oh and shorty headers on ebay are $75 and they have more clearance than the stock manifold for the passenger control arm
@@somewhatfast I appreciate the info. I subscribed so I’ll be keeping track
Using an engine with 150,000 miles???
Drive it everyday, Runs great
@@somewhatfast But for how long? Should have rebuilt it first.
@@jamesbosworth4191 it'll go another 100,000 miles I have 2 ram trucks with 240k plus miles on them.
@@somewhatfast I guess if it has been your engine from new, you know what shape it is in. I thought you bought that wrecked truck used for the engine.
@@jamesbosworth4191 I think you didn't pay attention to the whole point of the videos. The project was to get the build as close to $0 as possible. Plus its my car, I can whatever I want with it.
Well it ran i the first second of the video, so bye.
See ya
Nothing on that car is a millimeter sorry still SAE
It is if the bolt is round off and rusty
