- This weeks video we get some more work done on the 1953 Plymouth Cranbrook Build! We discover tons of rust on the floors of the car and figure out what to do with the fuel system.

I am also in the process of restoring a 53 cranbrook sedan! I spent at least 40 hours scraping the sound proofing/undercoating off of the flooring. I used a heat gun and a putty knife. All of them have crappy floors. They were made during the Korean war so they used subpar steel and tried coating it heavily to make up for the lower quality metal. In the long run, the metal rusted away but the undercoating stayed in place. I found quite a few areas in the wheel wells that I thought were solid, but were only just the undercoating left and no metal! Repro rubber is available for the windshield and front vent windows (you can even reinstall the front window stainless trim with it). For the rear windshield, you can use a universal rubber... I haven't found a way to attach the rear stainless tho. The only rubber I have not been able to find is the rear vent window rubber.... A few people have recommended looking into older VW window rubber, but I haven't done that yet. Make sure you are careful with the front and rear windshields because they are EXPENSIVE to replace.
Nice video!, looking forward to seeing this dragging pavement
Wow, lots of work ahead! My 53 Cranbrook coupe has evolved over the last 20 years into a drag and drive car. Such an underrated classic/ collector car. My TH-cam channel is chronicling the new remodel. Enjoy your build and share the progress!
Where are you purchasing your floor panels from .
They are from classic 2 current fabrication
Awesome ! I've been looking forward to a new episode , I have a soft spot for these early 50's Mopar working man cars .
I’m amazed that most bolts and screws come undone 👍🏻🇦🇺✌️.
Coming along well.
Idle is to slow 😢
I’m thinking a Cuba look for this car, remake what isn’t working and have fun with it.
Potentiometer. Maybe it controls the wiper or heater fan speed?
There are universal seals that will work for your back glass & windshield ...
Contact a glass co. and they can probably head you in the right direction.
I had a windshield put in my mid 60's chevy van (Arizona) & it had a seal much like you have .
They used twine to set the seal.
CLR in your gas tank will eliminate most rust
That thing under the dash looks like a wiper speed control ,an after market thing from JC Whitney 😊
I chased the wires down, ended up being the speed knob for the aftermarket blower motor.

Loving the videos dude! Keep them coming your projects are keeping me going on mine!!
Glad to hear it!
20:24 Flux capacitor ?🤣
That’s what I was thinking too haha
i chased the wires down, its actually just a knob for the blower motor. this car has a aftermarket heater system. had no heat or a/c from factory. my parts car out in the yard has factory air
@@ksspeedshop My 50 Dodge Coronet didn't come with turn signals.
Kanter automotive , Andy Bernbaum , Steel Rubber Products, may have window seals .
You can still purchase the windlace for these cars . I glued grey pool table felt on recycled whiteboard for door panels
This guy is boring. Hopefully my youtube feed never recommends your videos to me or I'm suing youtube.
You’re fun at parties
Suing TH-cam...yeah, right, you do that...LMAO..Your post is boring. Maybe I'll sue you.
I what to see what happened to the 63.
