Hello from Austria. Good decision. Back pain gets old real quick. I got rid of the bench seat in my 64 Mercury Comet as soon as I could. I did look at BMW, Audi and M-B seats but settled for OMP racing buckets in the end. Result: no back ache or having to hold into the steering wheel for dear life in the corners😀
@@somewhatfast just do what you feel best for you and don't listen to people who don't have to live with the car on a daily basis is all I'd say. Looking forward to see more of that car!
Nick you are a genius! This rig is really getting to the Daily Driver point soon and it's all because you care! Keep it going brother and realize your dream come true. I think this car is better than new and only getting better with each improvement you make.
@@somewhatfast ya I like what you done with it, you find a two door wagon you just gotta go for it, and I like that you kept it Mopar, really don't care for when guys stick Chevy or LS into everything.
@@dionrau5580 I know right, I can pull the same power out of a little 318 magnum as an LS for close to the same money! I'm on my way to pick up a 1954 plymouth 2 door wagon stay tuned.
Hmm? What can I say about your wagon? "SAA-WEEEET!" Absolutely cool car, my friend! Everyone builds their own version of how they want their "Restomod" to be just right for themselves, and you, my friend, have done it, and done it on the cheap! Way to go! I love your wagon. 0nce you sound proof it and put in the carpeting, you are going to be so happy with it. Great car! Gnarly ride, Brother, so Cool! ✌️😎👍 😁
Thank you Gordon I appreciate that I usually do them "ratty" figured I'd try out the "restomod" on the cheap and its just better. HANDS DOWN a little touch of modern is worth it in these old cars. If it makes it easier to drive it makes it SAFER.
They look great in there! I ended up doing near about the same to my Serria wagon with some seats out of a Charger. They look almost as nice as these. lol
@@somewhatfast I'd like to think it does, but I might be biased about it lol. I've had to do a lot to save it, so it's been long burn project for the last 4-ish years. I'd really like to have it in HRPT '23 but that might be a little too optimistic for this year.
@@chronoscreations2358 If i can do it i know for a fact you are going to get it done. Wait until you see the wagon I just picked up its another plymouth.
Love it brother, you are bringing it back to life. Please post where to get disc brakes and any part numbers. I am looking for them for my 55 Plymouth Belvedere wagon. Front end part numbers and suppliers.
Go to aajbrakes.com you can order the half kit for $300 and then order the rest of the stuff from rockauto.com for around $220. Or you can order the full kit from aaj brakes for $1000.
Nick, the car looks great! Nice upgrades. The seats really look like they belong in the car. Did you get the overdrive on the transmission? You are riding in style my friend. Enjoy your hard work with a cruise for ice cream with the family! 👍🏁🔥🇺🇸
Great idea, ice-cream sounds great. I haven't gotten the overdrive hooked up yet! I'm still working out the bugs and I need to get an alignment done before I get it up to 70 on the highway. I got the car up to 55-60 and the alignment was really bad (car was wandering) after replacing the tierods. I have all of the parts to hook it up im going to make a video on how I set it all up with a vac swith, and 2 oil pressure switches for the lockup and overdrive.
have been watching your wagon videos, you are really sharp for a young guy, but you lost me at bucket seats, i know why best value for the money however looks kind of tacky at least you kept the column shift.
This car is the predecessor of the modern SUV
You built yourself a rather nifty neato ride. I like it!
Thank you ernie
The seats look great.And a great demonstration of the installation of seat switches. 💯👊👍
I love this retromod adventure!
that looks mad. getting better each time,
That beech nut fruit stripe gum was around in the early 70's they had about 4-5 different flavors.
Was around in the 50s and 60s too
That Fruit Stripe pack was used until early '70's (IIRC). Jes Sayin. Luv the Wagon.

YES!! These old cars are hard enough to drive as it is modern buckets are safer and make the whole experience more enjoyable.

@@somewhatfast "ABSOLUTELY!"
Really cool wagon!
Doin' Good, man!
The old stuff it the original seats in burlap.
They look great in there! I ended up doing near about the same to my Serria wagon with some seats out of a Charger. They look almost as nice as these. lol
I have a set of seats out of a chrysler 300 I almost used! I bet that seirra wagon looks awesome.

Calipers, rotors are off a 1980 chevy camaro
"Need to put seatbelts in it "XD just maybe so you don't pulled over
Yeah I do, but laws in Texas are if the car wasn't built with seat belts then you do have to install them
@@somewhatfast 💀💀 I'm moving to Texas
You should add the door panels
Gotta fix the driver window and seals before I do the panels. It'll get done though!
Nick, the car looks great! Nice upgrades. The seats really look like they belong in the car.
Did you get the overdrive on the transmission?

Oh and BTW I just picked up another plymouth wagon that hasnt ran since the 70s.
@@somewhatfast coolio - I want to see that OD. I think you’ll love it!
@@somewhatfast yes! Can’t have too many!
Orange juice aint much healthier than coke ;D

Did you roll up that Jag window??
Yes!
Not a MOPAR now 🙀
I just checked and it still is

I agree but it's cheap and comfortable, plus it's my car I don't care how other people think it looks.
