I really need to make it to Carlisle one of these years....

I've got both of those in my collection, as well as the Mobilco gas station.

Yeah, he spends most of his social time on Facebook, lol.

Probably, but like John said, Jim won't mind... he's shared his album with lots of people, in addition to answering questions about a million times (his joking estimate, lol).
I'll throw the...
If not, I can ask Jim if he minds me posting images of the conversion here.

Plus, it'll all be Ma Mopar parts on the front end...now, I need to source a C-body 8.75" rear axle to handle that 440, and I'll be all set.

Spent some time at a local salvage yard a couple of weekends ago, and picked up the disc brake spindles off of a 1977 Plymouth Volare; I'm going to use the FuryJim Rawa drum-to-disc brake conversion...
So, here's the '69 440 that I'll be installing into the '57; it was rebuilt about 20 years ago, but probably has less than 250 hours of use...I removed it from my '68 Dodge Dart after a large,...
Actually, I have...I'm friends with Jim on Facebook, and he's been extremely helpful in guidance on rebuilding/restoring my car.
Unfortunately, Jim's currently not producing/stocking the inserts...
Not at this stage; I just dropped 400 USD on the set of fiberglass bumper wings from Manos.
Also, my 57 is a 4-door, and I don't know if Marcus makes a set for those body types; I may check with...
Speaking of....

I've seen Marcel's inserts in the past on eBay, too, but not recently.

I had a similar issue with my '62 Ford Falcon wagon...we installed a 302 V-8 into it, with 2.5" Magnaflow mufflers...but when I added the crossover pipe (directly behind the transmission and under...
Do you have a crossover pipe fitted on that exhaust?
Rob
I agree, Lee... life's too short to be stressing out over the small stuff. :D
Rob
He gave me his contact info, but I'm still working up a list of parts that I'm going to need....hopefully he'll be able to help me. :D
Rob
This is a list of parts that are needed to convert a ‘57 Plymouth to a ‘58, at least topically; I haven’t listed the obvious “Christine-centric” parts (like bumper wings, stone guards, dual antennas,...
Seeing how I'm still collecting as many "1958-centric" parts that I can find (a term I use to describe those subtlety different parts that distinguish it from the '57, and make it distinctly a '58),...
A 5-year necro-thread rises from the dead. :D
In the interim years between the time I posted the above info and today, I've kind of changed my direction with what I'm going to do with the car. I'm...
I always enjoy seeing photos of your car, Chris... it's the epitome of what the "book version" of the car should look like. :)
Rob
Wow...those fires were close!
Rob
Nice find...she's beautiful! :)
Rob
Nice!
Lol. :D
