THE 48 CONVERTIBLE WITH A 5.7 HEMI

 SINCE OUR FIRST FAMILY CAR I REMEMBER AS A KID WAS A1948 PLYMOUTH 4 DOOR, WHEN I SAW THIS ORIGINAL 1948 PLYMOUTH CONVERTIBLE CAR ROLL INTO A CAR SHOW 3 YEARS AGO I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER
 WITH GOOD LUCK ON MY SIDE I WAS ABLE TO BUY THE CAR ONE YEAR LATER.
  I IMMEDIATELY STARTED THE FRAME OFF RESTORATION AND STARTED LOOKING FOR A 5.7 HEMI FOR POWER.
  AGAIN GOOD LUCK WAS ON MY SIDE AND I FOUND A 2005 DODGE RAM  THAT HAD BEEN TOTALED WITH ONLY 2300 MILES.
  I STARTED THE PROCESS OF PULLING ALL OF THE WIRING OUT OF THE TRUCK, DISCARDING THE WIRES THAT I DID NOT NEED AND FABRICATING A RELAY PANEL TO RUN THE FACTORY COMPUTER.
  ALL OF THE COMPONENTS FROM THE RADIATOR TO THE 5 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANNY WERE USED FROM THE DONOR TRUCK
 THE ENGINE INSTALLATION CAME OUT VERY NEAT AND I USED THE ENGINE COVER FROM A CHARGER AND A STAINLESS COVER FOR THE FRONT UNDERHOOD SECTION TO COMPLETE THE COSMETICS.
 I WANTED TO DO A COMPLETE RESTOROD SO I HAD ALL OF THE ORIGINAL CHROME AND POT METAL RE-PLATED.
  MOST OF THE STAINLESS TRIM IS NOS AND THE BODY IS ASSEMBLED WITH STAINLESS FASTENERS.
  SHE IS PAINTED IN DUPONT CHROMA COLOR MERCEDES RED
 I USED A DAKOTA DIGITAL PANEL BEHIND THE ORIGINAL RE-PLATED BEZEL ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL  COLUMN SHIFT AND STEERING WHEEL .
 THE ONLY THING THAT IS NOT ORIGINAL ON THE BODY IS THE INSTALLATION OF A HAGAN TEAR DROP  FUEL FILLER AND AUTO FILL CAP.
 IT IS STOPPED BY AN ECI BILLET FRONT DISC BRAKE KIT AND AN EXPLORER DISC BRAKE REAR.
 THE STEERING IS A POWER RACK AND PINION.
  THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS ORIGINAL A FRAME WITH CHROME ADJUSTABLE CARRERA SHOCKS.
  THE REAR IS LIGHTED BY TECHNOLOGIA LED TAIL AND TRUNK LIGHTS.
   SHE RIDES ON 17 INCH BILLET SPECIALTIES LEGACY WHEELS WITH KNOCK OFFS.
    THE INTERIOR IS OLD SCHOOL ROLLED AND PLEATED WHITE ,TRIMMED IN RED WITH SAME SCHEME RUNNING FROM THE FRONT BACK THROUGH THE CONVERTIBLE BOOT  
   ALL OF THE KNOBS ARE OLD SCHOOL RED, WHITE AND CLEAR TEAR DROPS
    THE TRUNK IS DONE IN THE SAME SCHEME WITH A MAYFLOWER SHIP IMPRINTED IN TO THE DECK LID COVER.
