When we were kids and full of ourselves, we did just what you did to have fun, strip all of the interior and doors, etc and then go jump them in the cow pastures. I am seventy four now and really wish we had known just how much cars were going to change. I started with my first car being a forty ford and from there was a bunch of rigs from the fifties. Yeah I had all the tri fives but I was a ford guy so the fifty seven was my dream car. By nineteen sixty four, I realized a lot more being fifteen and a pocket full of money from working full time as a mechanic for my dad on logging equipment so killing a few cars did teach me a ton and no I did not hurt any more rigs. I was drafted in sixty six and had bought a sixty three ford galaxie two door hard top rig and when I got home in sixty nine, made that rig brand new again. I never knew much about dodges or their lineup as dad was a dodge guy/chrysler to be exact. I was born in the back seat of a forty seven chrysler and kind of remember that red leather interior for some odd reason. I didn't like any four door rigs then as it just wasn't cool. Dad always had four door sedans, plymouth or dodges and six cylinder engines till many years later when he had money. Then it was the biggest V8's they had. I will say honestly that the fifty nine dodge two door hardtop was the prettiest car I ever seen when it was new. This rig ought to be one cool looking rig
That's actually pretty good compression for that engine ... pretty even too ... obviously the old 4x4 under the roof rails trick ... some people shouldn't be allowed around tools ... I'm liken the plan so far ... give 'er hell ... and have a great Christmas ...
Enjoy watching the progress on this project. Glad the poly is salvageable! There’s something about watching the progress of others that inspires a fella to to get motivated, head out to the shop and get busy. Exited to see the metal fab begin. Merry Christmas!
What a great car and project! Im thinking of doing something similar to our 56 NewYorker Town and Country....You guys do great work! I look forward to more Videos!
I'm excited about this, its a direction few attempt, especially with the chop. I've seen lots of 2 door conversions on 50s cars, mostly Chevies but never a Chrysler with the chop. I can't wait to see your methods but also style implements on the roof, glass slanting and side profile. You came up with a great way to overcome the roof and door opening damage.
2 door conversions are a bit tricky to get right since most 4 door roofs are more squarish in the rear and need a little massaging. We'll see how things go here. First time doing a Chrysler! Thanks for watching and all the best in the New Year!!
I like the plan. To add power brakes, you might look into adapting electric power from a 2018 or later Honda Accord. It might be possible to hide it inside your bellows, so everything appears stock. I plan to try this when the opportunity arises. It's a Bosch system, also used on BMWs, but of course, lots cheaper if you get it from a salvage Honda. SuperFast Matt, here on TH-cam explains how he put it on a 50's Jaguar big car.
With respect to my last post, It's nice to see we, :), are all on the same page - short rear deck, keep the fins and keep the front long, just like the first mid sixties muscle al la mustang, camaro barracuda etc. Lee Iacocca is smiling.
Hi Nick, cool ideas you have for the car. Here in Australia in the early 70’s our muscle cars were either a Holden Monaro (2 door coupe) or the Ford Falcon XY GTHO phase 3 (4 door. Rated as the world’s fastest 4 door for its time). So yes we had a 4 door muscle car. Going to be following with great interest
In late 1950s, Grandpa had a 1956 Saratoga. It was fast for the day an a nice strong built car. It was in a factory gold painted with white top 4 door.
Hi Nick, You never disappoint. I love watching every second of this project and I'm really looking forward to the next installment. Merry Christmas to you and your dad!
I have the greatest confidence that you will not Chad the build on this car. We used to install an accesory windshield fluid bag, that you could buy at Woolco, under the hood. With an aftermarket pump installed and a button on the dash you would then pump rye and coke to a hose stashed underneath the dash.
It all sounds great Nick but honestly.... I can't picture this one yet😂. I have every confidence in you n your dad. Take care, have a lovely Christmas and keep them coming, Joe
Perhaps this time I've bit off more than I can chew on this one... we'll see. Btw you've done an amazing job with your build!! Many congrats and enjoy Marcus 👍👍
56 windser is the first year for thr four door hardtop there is one near me in a junk yard I have thought of buying they are very rare probly less than twenty still around they have a very kool grill
You could always send an oil sample for testing to see if the bearings are going bad if you still have some of the old stuff left. Trucking companies do it on a regular basis. You can also buy a test kit from a bunch of different places.
Drill holes in the brackets, trim sheet metal back some in the inner fenders, lighten the frame with holes, even remove metal from the brake drums between the bolts and the brake surface like the old model A drums. My uncle did all that with his hot rods.
They made a Nascar Convertible. Lose the weight on the roof. Shorten up the body. Tourney cover. No back seat. No side windows . No rear window. No inner door structures. I like the roll bar they put in it. Fiberglass bumpers. Numbers on the door. Fuel injection system. Holley sniper2. Maybe a little nitro bottle.. that would look cool A summer run car. Maybe a detachable lightweight frame fitted with convertabile material for suspect summer days. Lowered. Side pipes. Widened steel rims. A fast build. Good luck.
Four door muscle car? 1967 GT Falcon to 1971 GTHO Phase 3 Falcon from Australia. 1971 GTHO fastest 4 door production car in the world. Cheers from Australia.
I agree, could look like a super model with a beer gut if you’re not careful. Absolutely love the plan though! Giving me the vibes of Murray Pfaff’s 1959 Imperial Roadster and I’m excited to see a coupe done in that way.
I saw a 50s Plymouth at a car show years ago that was converted from a four door. It was interesting, but very bad proportions. I have hopes that your creation will be much better.
FYI For anyone who hasn't messed with a cartridge type filter, be sure to get the canister inside the the housing boss, or you'll be dumping nice fresh oil on the ground! Don't ask how I know! 😢 You make full on hillbilly sound like a bad thing!
I'm excited to see this one take shape!!!
Modification taken to a whole new level ! Love seeing a TWISTED mind get creative...
lol!

Thank you for your service and for sharing your memories. All the best in the new year!
This Is going to be a tonne of work, looking forward to it.
Ha ha that thing sounds like Ecto-1's siren cranking over!

That was the best ending ever man😂. Merry Christmas to you and your dad
😂 That thing sounds good.
@weirdmatter The more it runs the better it sounds. Thanks for watching!
@vetteguru5722 Thank you!

I cant wait to see the transformation , it sure will be cool, Godbless
Great seeing Dad in the shop 👍
Interesting project. Looking forward to the series!
Thanks!
Really enjoyed the shoebox build since I own one....and the first car I painted was a 56 Chrysler! Can't wait for each episode!
Right on!
You guys do great stuff 😊😊😊
Thanks!!

Nice to see it run this good after all these years sitting
Best natural high a guy can get! Thanks for watching Sir!
Hey Nick! Great work as usual, I love your vision for the car, its going to be a work of art,once your finished.
Thanks for watching and all the best in 2024!
@iNVisionPrototypes Thanks Nick, and same to you,sir!

Nice Nick!!! Looking forward to seeing you make the passenger door. I like the concept!!!

Definitely looking forward to the build .
Great content !
Awesome, thank you! 👍

NICE!!
Saved this for Christmas morning (Yeah, that sad!) I'll look forward to watching more.
Thank you for watching!
Success good engine , no broken glass !
Hi Nick, I like the plan for this build. I know its going to be awesome. Looking forward to your next video . Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks 👍 Merry Christmas to you as well. All the best for 2024!

This car is going to look great!! Especially with your magic touch!! Can't wait for the next video!! Cheers!
I hope so. Thanks for watching!
It all sounds great Nick but honestly.... I can't picture this one yet😂. I have every confidence in you n your dad. Take care, have a lovely Christmas and keep them coming, Joe
Thanks, Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
Excited as well to see how this turns out.
The drawing looks great 👍
That was a quick PhotoChop.. Hope to get the rendering done soon.
Love your plans Nick and looking forward to seeing it all happen. :)
Perhaps this time I've bit off more than I can chew on this one... we'll see. Btw you've done an amazing job with your build!! Many congrats and enjoy Marcus 👍👍
@@iNVisionPrototypes Thanks mate. :) Best way to start out is wondering if you can do it all not. Rewards are much greater that way once you succeed.
56 windser is the first year for thr four door hardtop there is one near me in a junk yard I have thought of buying they are very rare probly less than twenty still around they have a very kool grill
If she's solid pick it up! Would be a shame for it to meet the crusher
also merry christmas and a great new year,regards warren.
Thanks Warren!
Great working on this project 😊😊😊
Glad you're along for the ride!
Merry Christmas to you and your dad all the best
Thank you very much!
This is super epic!
👍
Really looking forward to this one

In my previous life we used to do that for clients' CAT equipment. Perhaps after it runs on this oil we'll do that. Thanks for watching!!
In Phoenix is was a 1950s Chrysler restoration shop, they would soak window seals in break fluid to bring them back to life.
This is going to be one cool ride 😎 a few years ago a guy built a shortened convertible Imperial that was made from a 4 door and it is amazing 👍
That was an interesting build!
A FACTORY PROTOTYPE ___ Is what its going to look like ! ___ Looking forward to your next video .
Thanks for watching!
How about SECTIONING the BODY --- And sliming down the bulky front fenders ? Early mussel cars had a sleek look !
👍
Drill holes in the brackets, trim sheet metal back some in the inner fenders, lighten the frame with holes, even remove metal from the brake drums between the bolts and the brake surface like the old model A drums. My uncle did all that with his hot rods.
Cool!
Seems very impressive plans for this.
Sound like you aren’t getting some rear doors from a two door car and moving the post. This will be a nice build like other vehicles you customized
We'll build a door from scratch. No problem. Thanks for watching!!
I do hope you find and use all the missing original trim pieces.
We'll see how things evolve. Might end up making new trim... wouldn't be the first time. Thanks for watching!!
Way back in the day, we would run a quart or two of diesel fuel in the motor oil, and some in the gas😊
It would really clean the lifters and rings.
👍

Four door muscle car?
1967 GT Falcon to 1971 GTHO Phase 3 Falcon from Australia.
1971 GTHO fastest 4 door production car in the world.
Cheers from Australia.
They are really sweet! Thanks for sharing.
Merry Christmas to you and yours. How about a shop tour. It looks like your working in a different bay.
Thanks!
The Australian muscle cars were 4 doors and two doors
Not to mention that the Ford XY GTHO Falcon was the WORLDS fastest four door production car for several years.
@Murphyslawfarm @LetGaiaLive Thanks for sharing that bit of info. Very cool looking car!!
maybe section the car to look a bit more balanced - similar to the first Thunderbird or Corvette
I agree, could look like a super model with a beer gut if you’re not careful. Absolutely love the plan though! Giving me the vibes of Murray Pfaff’s 1959 Imperial Roadster and I’m excited to see a coupe done in that way.
@k.k.hickey1725 LOL! gonna be tough to get that image out of my head! Thanks for watching
I believe you mean Jeesler not Jeepsler. Jeepsler... Silly... LOL!
Jeep_sler :D

It's not as easy as it sounds. We'll see how it goes.
Hey I thought Robertson was Canadian.
You're right, it is. This car was being 'restored' by a guy in Ontario who found it in the US.
VERY AUTHENTIC- the real Lambos also love to catch on fire
BEST REPLICA EVER
The late model Dodge Charger hellcats
If you shorten it to a 2 door and rake the roof back you will have a Studebaker Golden Hawk.
Love that car!
if your interested i can teach you how to drain the oil without getting a drop on your haands or floor .
FYI For anyone who hasn't messed with a cartridge type filter, be sure to get the canister inside the the housing boss, or you'll be dumping nice fresh oil on the ground!
Don't ask how I know! 😢
You make full on hillbilly sound like a bad thing!
Great TIP!
🎄🎄👍🎄🎄
Is it just me or is anyone else getting CHRISTINE vibes at the end of this video?
This would be CHRISTINE's older sister lol! After we cut her apart the 'unexplained happenings' seem to have settled down. Thanks for watching Jimmy!
👍😊
May you soon be gifted a battery powered ratchet 🙂
Thanks for watching!
Might be better if you just used subtitles instead of talking
Any particular reason my friend?
Wow 😳😳 I can't wait 😀 4:52
