1937 Plymouth

This blog is a record of how I built my 1937 Plymouth two door sedan into a prize winning restomod. Restomod (restoration + modern technology) uses the advancements in automotive technology to enhance the performance, comfort and safety of a classic car. Follow along as I post photos and information over the next several weeks about how I modified and fabricated various components to bring this awesome project together. I will also share several upgrades I performed after the car was completed.

Because I widened the rear fenders 4 1/2 inches I needed to widen the running boards. The old running boards were in marginal condition so I decided to use them as templates and make new ones.

After I had the fenders sand blasted I I reattached them to the body and grafted in a fuel door. The fuel door was taken from a 1968 Ford LTD.

After welding and grinding the seams I used a hammer and dolly to smooth the welds and blend the curves.
