1936 Plymouth Coupe Suspension And Chassis Tuning
We are in the final stages of this “daily driver” build.
Currently we are trying to find a body shop to bondo up the 80 year old sheet metal. We have already taken it down to bare metal and applied primer to simply prevent further rusting.
As seen in the photo below, the front suspension is sporting a special front brake kit. It’s not easy to find — but it allows the wheels to turn left and right without scrubbing the front fenders.
Below photo shows the inside of the firewall. As you can see we still have a few holes to seal up — but that is what final assembly before paint is all about.
The front floor section and tunnel is continuous welded – as seen in below photo.
Below shows the rear floor and sealed off bulkhead from the trunk.
The trunk floor section on the right is removable via DZUS fasteners. The raised floor is for the panhard bar upper mount — we want the car low.
Below shows the rear end — a FORD 9″ on coilover shocks with street rod 4-link suspension and disk brakes.
This Street Rod is going to be a great daily driver — and the coolest car in the parking lot!
This 1936 Plymouth Coupe is going to be one COOL Hot Rod!
The boys in the shop have been chipping away at the ’36 Coupe project – mostly doing the stuff no one will ever see.
Once we install the carpet and door panels we built, no one will see the steel sheet metal floor and firewall, and reworked body mounts or any electric system.
Time to do the final inspection on the frame then paint, and the same on body underside. Once the body gets mounted to the frame there is no going back.
Metal fabrication, chassis building, creating unique suspension parts – this is what we do on a regular basis.
Opening Day at Bristol Dragway
A beautiful opening day at Bristol THUNDER VALLEY. We are excited to get back into race season! Today the coupe has its first test.
Bristol was packed. There was alot of waiting in line – it’s part of racing. We were simply happy to be able to bring this car and start the test/tune process. We only need two hits and that’s it.
This was opening day and anyone could bring anything to race, and they did. But our goal for today was clear – make sure this car was safe and no surprises. Today was naturally aspirated test day. The zoomies sounded great, and everyone is interested to take a look.
Our goal today was to make sure the car goes straight, brakes work, no odd shakes, issues, etc. No spray this trip. Now on to the dyno and start fine tuning this coupe.

Good progress this week on the 33 Coupe
Just a few quick snapshots – the ’33 Coupe is on the ground and just about ready for bodywork. Not sure what color will work best on this car — perhaps a “General Lee” look with Confederate flag on the roof . . . .
This car is for sale.
