1950 Plymouth Hot Rod was made into a gasser drag car sometime around 2010-11,and as far as I know thats all it was used for untill I got it in the summer of 2013,but now it is my daily driver, my first thought was a all out street rod with sub frame and power everything but the more I played with it the more I liked the gasser look and lets face it you cant turn a corner anymore without running into a street rod with a 350 chevy and a turbo 350 with full power and air, well I have a new truck for all that so I left everything as a race car but I cleaned, detailed and painted everything and i titled and taged it here in oklahoma and basicly street legaleized this beast and I been running the wheels off it ever since but as much of a beast as it is now before it was not tameable for street use with the 440 drag engine so I put a more street friendly 69 model mopar big block 383 in it that has been ported and has a big cam plus i used several things off the race engine, the deep sump oil pan, eletronic ignition, holley fuel pump, headers, and it aint no slouch and it still has the race 727 trany with reverse shift pattern manuel shift valve body, and B/M quick silver shifter and out back is new 4:10 gears in a 8 3/4 sure grip(posi track) with pinion snubber, drive shaft loop and traction bars and street slicks with new skinnys up front, you will think it just rumbled off the drag strip and it is still a bare bonz light weight race car with just 2 front seats and safety belts and no back seat just a roll bar in the back, it has a fuel cel and the battery mounted in the trunk, and it has new fabricated sheet metal firewall and floors, I think it is the original paint on the out side and it gets more compliments than a all out custom paint job could ever get and the only body mods so far are the rear fenders have been cut out for the big ol slicks it ran on the strip, I have been restoring the original dash and I rewired the complete car and all the lights are led except the head lights and they are halogen, I just finished installing all new king pins and bushings and all new front wheel bearings and seals in the narrowed econoline front axle with all hiem joints and new vega steering box, the interior is being built now with custom one off door panels and custom one piece head liner and when its done I will have to adjust the price for all the expense, it is a one of a kind hot rod.
