The front is starting to look like it. No better pictures for now :x we wanted to drive the car to a nearby location and the minute we opened the door it started to rain after about 7 days without a drop of rain :twisted:

The exterior will be ready next weekend and on May 5th the car will go back to the shop for final inspection and finishing. There are a few minor blemishes that they will take care of.

Hey John, don't forget to include Ron and Marjo's names when you refer to the car in the photos :wink: ...Matthew has his own project Plymouth, sitting in mothballs at the moment.

How come my bumpers are both one piece while Mathew's are three piece? Getting my bumper to the plater was like moving King Kong from the Congo to Manhatten.

Steve, I can't tell if you are joking about the 3-piece bumper.

Thanks Curt, Sorry I got the car ownership confused. That was before my first cup of coffee. So after much perusal I figure Plymouth offerred optional wings for the front only?? Is that right? Boy that would have made shipment by UPS much easier and cheaper!

Steve, Plymouth indeed offered only bumper wings for the front. Out of the little book full of options from the 59 Plymouth:

Order code number
357
Outer wing, for front only (Do not order with rubber inserts) $18.05

What a price!!

It's also time for my dad to post some new pics of the car
